A safe signing at safety?

[naturalscience]

An article popped up on the old news feed suggesting the Jets take a look at Texans safety Justin Reid.

I believe he is a free agent.

Seems like a solid player.

Thoughts?

Yeah he's good.  But he's probably not the best in the naaaaaation !  

[bla bla bla]

Reid will cost about what we wanted Maye to cost us too. $7-8m per year. That's who I have us signing as well.

I would like Quandre Diggs

There’s a fair amount of FA safeties this year. Probably because nobody wants to overpay safeties.

Was the article from Jake Asman? Jake has been pumping up Justin Reed to the Jets like everyday for the past month!

That would be a terrible signing. For all that we should bring back Maye who we should move on from.

Get pass rushers and the safeties already on the roster will look like superstars.

Wonder why...

Why do you say that?  Can you give me a reason?

5,5,3,3,3,3,  interceptions each of his last 6 years

94 combined tackles last year.

Maye has a whopping 6 career ints.

Maye is a combo safety (SS, FS)

Diggs is strictly a FS.

That explains the INTs. Diggs is a former CB moved to FS. He doesn't haven't the physicality to play in the box. 

Both Maye and Diggs are going to miss some times. Maye has the Achilles while Diggs has a bad broken leg.

If it came down to it why invest in someone foreign over someone who already has chemistry (teammates, playbook) with the team? 

As I said in another thread, the S market is going to be rough onces Bates gets franchised. Williams of the Saints could be available, Mathieu isn't coming here so Reid maybe looking at a huge pay day as they most attainable safety.

Bring back Maye for 1 year and draft Cines or Brisker in the 2nd round.

I wouldn't say "nobody."  Although in fairness their view on the matter may have changed in the past year.

Jets were 2nd last in the league with a paltry7 ints last year.  Also 2nd last in turnover differential.

We need someone that can get turnovers.  We for sure need to draft at least one safety.  Maye doesn't move the needle.

With Michael Bennett it was a competitive group; as was said: get a pass rush. They got a guy that can stay on the field in pressure packages. Pete was all in wayyy in probably too much. They needed a seady RB and had nothing to ake pressure off #5

The consensus is he is an above average player.

Not sure. The article has since disappeared from my feed but it was name I didn't recognize. Something like granite sports or some sh*te.

I found the publishing site. It's called Heavy. Don't know the author or contributors.

Again, get some guys up front who can consistently pressure the QB to get him out of a rhythm (rush his throws, throw off-balance, etc), and you could be back there getting INTs. 

This isn't 1985. Safeties are like running backs. You can find perfectly good ones in the middle and late rounds of any draft.

The young guys the Jets have in the secondary will be just fine if they can get some good pass rushers.

Nailed it Edge, Edge, and more Edge.

I thought we were drafting a safety?

He's aging like a vintage wine.  Back to back PB seasons with 5 INTs in each.  This doesn't mean Jets wont draft one.   Could do wonders teaching the young ones how to be a pro at their craft.

[varjet]

The Saleh defense may not demand CBs, which I don't think is true, but it does demand athletic safeties.  

I am not entirely convinced that the Jets are getting a good safety for this defense in the late/middle rounds.  Second round seems to be the spot for quality, athletic, physical safeties.  The LBs fall lower.  

In these FA and Draft classes, the value is signing a FA safety, and throw alot of money at him to make sure we get someone good.   In the 2nd round we want McBride, Muma, CB, WR, the G from BC, another T-other players.  Sign a FA S-Williams, Reid, Diggs are all massive improvements to what we have.

I would rather pay Marcus Williams and then draft someone like pitre or hill in the second round.  Williams is a true deep, centerfielder and then we can do whatever we want with the swiss-army type guys in the draft.

Agree and we also need veteran leadership to “QB” our young secondary.

I’d rather spend big $ on Marcus Williams than spend big on a CB or draft a safety high.
