Thai Jet Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'd like to see it works out. You can never have enough veteran depth at WR or any position for that matter. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was teh same year, We had two #1s, 9 & 13, We were rumored to be interested in Austin at 9 until the Rams traded up to 8 and took him. Instead, we took Dee Milliner at 9. And then took Sheldon at 13. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Curious move -- don't really see a role for him. But if we do bring him in, I assume it would be at or near vet minimum with little guaranteed $. Can't hurt to have him compete in camp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure the Jets will feel the same way. Crowder is a better player than Austin, but will also cost about 10 times as much this year - which the Jets will factor in. And, yes, Austin does return kicks and punts. It's probably what he's best at. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 25 minutes ago, Augustiniak said: i don't think crowder is going anywhere If Joe Douglas has shown anything this year it's that he's committed to supporting his rookie QB. I don't think shipping off the Jets most consistent WR over the past 3 years is something he's likely to do. Crowder is a reliable "comfort target" out of the slot who runs predictable routes and is a big asset for any QB, let alone a rookie. The guy gets open and is almost a safety blanket out there. With the way the WR position worked last year (counting on Tampa's WR3 in Perriman to be WR1 and a rookie in Mims to be WR2), I think JD learned his lesson. He'd rather have a surplus or insurance policy at WR even if it costs a little more. The Jets aren't against the Cap, they can afford Crowder and he's essentially on the type of one-year deal that JD likes to use on many players. The only way I see Crowder departing is if it's part of a trade to bring back an asset like a TE. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
