Jets sign WR Corey Davis from Titans

[jeremy2020]

He's a WR2. I'm not sure if 12.5 a year is too much for a WR2. I don't know what they make, but it certainly could have a lot worse than a player who's improved each year. He could have signed someone like Perriman.

Don't be surprised to hear that the Jets had a few offers out on the receivers, but Corey Davis was the first to accept. Apparently there was a lot of differing opinions on how the WRs should be ranked. I'm still holding out hope that they will add Curtis Samuel. 

After signing Davis, if they added Samuel, I assume they cut Crowder, no?

LOVE IT

[Gibby]

I don’t hate it. Definitely an upgrade over Perriman.

Great.  Another "oh, I guess that's good" signing.  How about a home run signing for once, JD?  Ah, fuk it.  With our roster and signings like this, JD'll be gone in a year or two anyway.  More time for naps.

A WR literally no one here expressed any interest in.

Now the talk-up begins, lol.

[Skeet Ulrich]

Meh. Hope they’re not counting on him to be WR1

[SR24]

Not great but not bad either definitely not our #1

Just under 1k yards in 14 games. Also former top pick.

Not bad.

GREAT SIGNING! 

[BigRy56]

I love this guys game, big strong physical wide receiver. I would love to add one more and keep Crowder. That would be a great set of wide outs 

[RSJ]

Just to address the 50 people in this thread that keep mentioning it. This offense doesnt have a #1 really. Each WR will play all three positions in order to create mismatches. Someone will obviously lead the WRs over the course of the year - but this isnt a situation where they will has the same guy lining up in the X position every snap.

This one can really go either way big time.

If he plays to his potential it will look like a great move but that went for Perriman last year.

Just don;t friggin get hurt.

I know it might be weird to double up on a FA WR, especially with crowder but Samuel is more of a hybrid player who actually meshes well with a group of Crowder, Mims and Davis.  Would love to have samuel here.

Splish Splash,

The angry mob put down their torches momentarily...but folks still looking for a good bonfire.

Ok so is he an X or Z receiver in Lefleur system. Would he be similar to Debo Samuel? Does that move Mims outside?

Big physical split end.  Haven’t had one of these since Marshall

Marshall is literally the last WR who looked like they lifted weights. Lol

Josh Doctson, Breshard Perriman... is anyone really surprised we signed Corey Davis?

I just said pretty much the same thing.  Feels like Perriman 2.0.  Hope I’m wrong.

[Vudu]

Decent move

Great point.  Another available pass catcher that might make sense is Hunter Henry.  Don't need a "true #1" if every guy out in the route is a legitimate threat.

[PepPep]

This is the type of signing I am ok with if we plan on drafting an impact WR at 23 or 34.

WHAT!  We haven't signed every conceivable free agent there is before free agency has even started!

FIRE JD!

FIRE MAC!

FIRE IDZIK!

FIRE.....(Fill in another GM here)

[Morrissey]

AJ Brown got the heat last year, made it easier for Davis. Won't happen on the Jets.

Hope not. I think it would make the move redundant.

Meh

The dude is a former Top 5 pick who just came 50 yards short of breaking 1,000 yards despite only playing in 12 games within a “ground and pound” offense in Tennessee featuring a legit #1 in A.J. Brown.

It’s not Golladay, but I like it. Especially since he isn’t coming off a broken hip.

Give me a borderline Top 5 TE when healthy in Hunter Henry and a legit edgerusher and suddenly I’m not ready to walk head first off the ledge.

BIGGEST STOCK RISERS IN 2020

WR Corey Davis, Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans are once again deeply regretting their fifth-year option decision on a former first-round pick. Last offseason, the Titans elected to decline the fifth-year option for 2016 No. 8 overall pick Jack Conklin. The right tackle had a career year and signed a sizable deal with the Cleveland Browns.

Flash forward to the 2020 offseason, and 2017 No. 5 overall pick Corey Davis had his option declined, as well. Davis isn’t just having a career year compared to his own prior seasons, he’s having a career year at the wide receiver position, period. His 89.5 offensive grade ranks third in the NFL among wide receivers, and his 90.8 receiving grade on snaps lined up out wide is the best mark in the league.

After much discussion of Davis converting to more of a slot wide receiver, he’s excelled in the “Z” role as the outside wide receiver off the line of scrimmage. He’s been dominating on in-breaking routes and crossers all year because defenders can’t get a hand on him to jam him at the line, and he’s obviously a great athlete in space considering he was a top-five pick.

Tennessee may try to work out an extension, but A.J. Brown will be eligible for an extension after 2021 and will probably be looking for $20M per year at a minimum. That could be on the Titans' mind as they set their price point for Davis.

A really good signing.  Only 3 years, can probably get out of it after 2.

Very reasonable amount per year.  Much better then breaking the bank for a guy liek Golladay.

This is smart GMing on Douglas's part.  Get your rookie qb a veteran target who doesnt cost a ton. 

Joe D is the man!

Wait...I'm confused. I thought not spending in free agency and waiting for Douglas to get better at drafting was the plan.

Wilson or Fields at 2, best interior OL at 23, Terrace Marshall at 34.

Well, okay.

Good player at a major position of need.

Smelling more and more like the Jets are keeping Darnold.

Now sign a legit EDGE and trade down, add to your assortment of picks and still take a guy like Slater in the Top 10.

 

 

How does this mean anything for darnold? They needs wrs for a rookie qb also. Lmao 

[RSJ]

Idk, berrios is pretty jacked

True. Good point he is jacked. Mims needs to hit the weight room big time.

Davis put up similar numbers in 2018 when he was the #1 option across from Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharpe.  65-980-5 last year with Tannehill and 65-891-4 in 2018 with Mariota.

Agreed.  Too many fans obsessed with a “number 1 receiver”. I’d rather just have a real good overall corps
