flgreen Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Vinny Curry Signs With New York Jets By: David Latham, Managing Editor | March 24, 2021 Longtime NFL veteran edge defender Vinny Curry signed a new contract with the New York Jets. Curry, a one-time Super Bowl champion, spent the 2020 season with the Philadelphia Eagles and has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vinny Curry, New York Jets, Agree to Contract Thanks to an early-season injury and a positive COVID-19 test, Vinny Curry only played in 11 games last year. However, the 32-year old still managed to make a positive impact when on the field. Overall, Curry made three starts in his 11 games played while recording three sacks, 16 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, 10 quarterback hits, and one fumble recovery. Overall, he was his usual, solid but unspectacular self and finished as the 39th-best edge rusher in football, according to Pro Football Focus. Curry initially entered the league as a second-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, Curry hardly played as a rookie. In total, he appeared in just six games while recording nine tackles, one tackle-for-loss, and no sacks. Despite the slow start, Curry developed a larger role as his career progressed and had arguably his best season in 2014. Appearing in all 16 games, Curry recorded a career-high nine sacks to go along with 19 tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, 11 quarterbck hits, and a staggering four forced fumbles. While he never matched those heights again, he remained a crucial part of the team and played a sizable role in Philadelphia’s championship 2017 season. Following his Super Bowl victory, Vinny Curry signed a three-year, $23 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Marshall product couldn’t live up to the expectation associated with the deal, recording just 2.5 sacks, 21 tackles, five tackles-for-loss, and seven quarterback hits while appearing in only 12 years. The Buccaneers decided to cut bait after one year, and Curry landing back in Philadelphia for 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most confidant I've felt about our pass rush in a long time. We finally have some talent on the EDGE. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrcoops Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 Curry is still really productive as a designated rusher off the bench. Very good signing, and will be a good veteran presence on the Dline. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinnen and Lawson are the only longterm guys on the DLine. I still see them drafting an Edge rusher this year. Probably not in the first two rounds but there's some value in rounds 3 and 4. I'd rather have the 9th best Edge guy and take him Round 3 than use a 1st rounder on the 3rd best. The talent seems to flatten out a bit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’re appreciating enough just how good this unit will be. Rankins pushed us over the top. QW is ready to explode and Lawson will be our best FA signing in a decade. This defense will keep us in every game. CB’s will be fine imo. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent seems to flatten out a bit.Quite possible. And you’re right, there are some interesting mid round gambles that can be made. I think the point is that Joe is clearing the way to spend the early part of this draft on the offense. There’s no need to spend early on the DLine. Maybe corner is worth an early-ish pick, but everything else is O heavy. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Good signing. He was productive when he was on the field and it’s looking like they’re going to concentrate in the offense during the draft once they get a CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear the naysayers, but what this does is give a little bit more in the pass-rush in case we can't find a good enough one in the draft, or Zuniga doesn't improve.

It's amazing how much better CBs can look in a zone system that rushes 4 and still gets to the QB. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
