Jets Claim CB Corey Ballentine on waivers from Giants

[Sarge4Tide]

Decent player with some bottom of the roster potential / depth 

[pointman]

I am tired of other peoples proven trash. I don't care about the "depth" excuses. Stop bringing in trash. Give me raw, savage, talent!!

[riggy001]

They should leverage their top waiver claim position more. Expect to see it more in 2nd half of season

Teams don't waive raw savage talent mid-season, so you have to settle for askng "Is this guy bettter than my 53rd guy?"

It's after the trade deadline and no one is cutting useful players.  What do you suggest Douglas should be doing right now?

[Sarge4Tide]

FYI Takk McKinley went to the Bengals 

[munchmemory]

Wait....Who?

[Beerfish]

Would have preferred mckinley by a long ways but you always look to improve.

Would rather do this than so something like trade pick for a total jag like quincy wilson.

Something a good GM should do every time a player becomes available. Based on who JD learned the business from, I'm pretty sure he  was taught this early on.

Wasn't that the guy who basically had a profanity laced meltdown the night of the draft a few years ago? I remember Dion had to wait till that nutjob finished his tirade to interview him.

Yep. Wilson was a total waste. Would have been better  off using the pick on a player.

[mrcoops]

Young guy with experience, still has 2 years left on his rookie deal after this season - this is the type of player the Jets should be claiming, so it's a smart move.

[joewilly12]

He's also a kick returner.

The answer is always no.

With how poorly Pier Desir plays this may not be far from the truth.

When you're old and decrepit, your wife will be so proud of you when you bring OUT the trash. 

[addage]

It's always good to take a look.  But if he can't make the giants roster, the odds aren't good.

He had effort problems last game as in jogging around out there.  He was bad.

THAT TOO!!!

 

[Paradis]

I think he may just be listening for once...

I was very high ballentine a couple years ago -- got his all 22 footage from his div-2 school... physically - he's got everything you want. I think he can be a decent zone corner, and potentially a better FS if we want to put in the time.

Don't get me started on Desir, I have a love hate relationship with Pierre, I love the way he has us pointed to Trevor Lawrence, but I want him slingshot to another dimension after that 16th loss!

The (lack of) effort on that TD play was appalling to see ... he should have been benched for that.

[ElBarrioJets]

Depth is depth I spose.

I feel like CB is being overlooked going into next year. Desir is a dumpster fire, Bless is serviceable and Poole is an FA. 

Gotta expect 2-3 new additions here in 2021

The sad thing is he’s still better than trumaine even if you discount the contract issues.

Who here remembers Ballantine's  Ale and the puzzles in their bottle caps.

Didn't Broderick Crawford advertise for Ballantine's?  Going way back now......

Agreed, just be patient and wait for the Seahawks to waive DK Metcalf. 

[CTJetsFan]

Is Ballentine taking Mike White's space on the roster?
