choon328 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Only 23 years old. 42nd overall pick in 2018. Had some injury issues his first 2 years and missed 14 games. 4.3 ypc. He'll be on waivers and the Jets are 2nd in the claim order. His salary is about 700K for 2021 and is a FA next year. It seems like a low risk proposition and If he's healthy he adds more competition to the young and mostly inexperienced backfield. He's a fit for the Shanahan style run game and is a very good receiver out of the backfield. It'll be interesting to see if the Jets put in a claim. I don't see a downside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Wow- I loved this kid when healthy. my interest is beyond piqued would absolutely love him in camp to see if he’s healthy. I was surprised when Lions drafted Swift because they already had Kerryon who was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

win4ever Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Oh, I really wanted to target him because I thought he'd be a great buy low. I'm worried about his injuries, but there has to be some post Patricia spike like the Gase spike too. Would love for him to be in the room with Carter, Coleman, Perrine, and Ty Johnson. See who makes it out of camp healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not after the drafting of Michael Carter. I'd rather JD wait and pounce on another interior O-Lineman with promise and potential who gets waived as a cap casualty. With that said I don't know anything about this RB so in JD I trust. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayNoToDMC Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd grab him. He's electric. He had nothing to run behind, just like everyone else in Detroit. Strange now though with the line upgrade there. What's the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have inadvertently coined something, a colloquialism for stabbing oneself in the neck with a bent camping knife until dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sign more than 1 player post draft. The Jets will be #2 in the waiver claim for every player on waivers up until week 4 of the regular season. This isn't fantasy football where you go to the back of the line after a claim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $700k that is irrelevant. It is when you are paying guys like Mosley and Trumaine Johnson that injuries seem crippling. Apparently as recently as week 3 of last year the Lions valued him more than Ty Johnson who was probably our best back in 2020. OTOH, he was outperformed by Swift and Peterson. Interesting guy, up to the staff to determine if they think he is done. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting guy, up to the staff to determine if they think he is done. Seriously. $700K isn't even a rounding error, so even if they pay it and still cut him bfd they do that with enough cumulative UDFAs and late-rounders who end up on the practice squad. If he's just ok, but not worth a second contract, they could also get a comp pick (unless he only gets the league minimum next year). If he doesn't make the final roster, it's not going to stop the Jets from making any moves in the future. Never mind if we get a major RB injury or two this summer - it's kind of a high-injury position - there are going to be a lot of people who'd wish we took him for almost free in the spring. I don't know if there's some other reason they're looking to dump him, though, where 30 other teams won't want him either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy2020 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I approve. I've always wanted to see a RB in the NFL who uses a cane. I'm wondering if he'd be willing to wear a monocle as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightattendant Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The juice is worth the squeeze. Cut perine or Adam's. If he doesnt pan out those to mentioned are easily replaced. Worst case ontario we lose a 3/4 rb. Best case scenario we have an amazing 123 punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Willie White Shoes Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 There's a reason why the Lions drafted Swift , signed Peterson last season, then signed Williams as a free agents and now want to get rid of Johnson. He's a broken stained couch they just put on the curb. Who cares if he is 23 or whatever age. He's injured and not very good. Cue the "he's better than player X" crowd. How many RBs do the Jets need? Especially in the 49er scheme when the system makes the backs rather than the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
