It really puts us in a great situation to take best available player And not panic on a certain position. Wide receiver remains one of our major needs and that’s about it. I have a feeling either via trade or signing we will have another wide receiver on the roster before the draft. Edge is still a genuine need. This guy is a rotational piece, the team needs another starter. I could see a guy like Travon Walker, who tested off the charts and can play inside and out, being the pick. And I agree that WR is the other big need, although the additions at TE reduce that need somewhat. Still feeling Edge-WR in the first, though. Premium positions with premium picks. After that, LB is probably the only other starter they might be looking for in the draft. A rotational RB, maybe. Some better depth on the OL and in the secondary. So far, so good. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 13 minutes ago, ScarletKnight89 said: This guy looks like a pass rush specialist. He had 4 sacks, 2 QB hits, and 32 QB hurries last year. So he's definitely someone who can come in as a depth/rotational player on passing downs and be productive. The hurries are almost as good as the sacks. Whatever it takes to not allow the QB to be as comfortable as they were last year against us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 44 minutes ago, CTJetsFan said: Slightly different # reported here The Jets have been active in the early days of free agency and their moves now include the addition of a pass rusher to their defense. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team has struck a deal with former Texans edge rusher Jacob Martin. It’s a three-year, $13.5 million deal with $6 million in guaranteed money. Martin was a 2018 sixth-round pick of the Seahawks and he was traded to the Texans before his second NFL season. He played a rotational role in his first two seasons in Houston before starting 14 games in 2021. Martin had 23 tackles and four sacks in his final year with the Texans and has 13.5 career sacks. Jets will sign Jacob Martin originally appeared on Pro Football Talk Not really, the other report says he can earn "up to". Must have roster bonus or whatever in his deal that could bring him up. couple of mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquilo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 On the Texans reddit, some responses to this signing: "Damn don't like that" "Boooo!" "Poop" "Aw man. Oh well" "That's... Unfortunate." And like 2 responses saying they wouldn't pay him that. I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Brett Kollman (the guy who does YouTube videos about players - famously one about how Hack was going to be good) is a Houston Texans fan. Would be interesting to see what he has to say about Jacob Martin. Haven't seen anything on his Twitter about it yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s effective as an edge, and even MORE effective as a 3Technique DT (but just would wear out playing in there all game) for this scheme. He’s a 2-1 value as a roster spot and sub-packages as an Edge or DT. Jets need to draft Edge high and a DT for rotational depth to play along Q, Rankins, Marshall, and Shepherd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses wasn’t re-signing with the Jets for anywhere near what he got from the Ravens. Would you rather be a starter on a perennial playoff team or competing for a starting job on a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in 11 years (the same competition you lost coming out of training camp the previous season)?

Beerfish Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Would rather have signed Jacob Marley. This one to me is Douglas's first miss step (outside resigning some terrible players that were on the team last year) This guy is Bryce Huff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownJetFan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 3 hours ago, KRL said: I wonder if Martin played limited snaps as a situational pass rusher because his production isn't fantastic. If he did see limited snaps then Douglas/Saleh must be betting on his upside: https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/3138764/jacob-martin He gets about 4 sacks a year over the last 4 years, and for his career he has created pressure 106 times on 943 pass rush snaps, which is a pressure rate of 11.2% and is above the 2021 league average for edge rushers)-this is from ganggreennation.com. So, while sacks are great, having a high pressure rate like that has many hidden stats like causing incompletions, interceptions, other inaccurate throws that prevent receivers from getting yards, etc. He could be a good fit and we can still draft a pass rusher in the 1st 2 rounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He's basically a better version of Bryce Huff. A solid depth piece but not a guy you want to be relying on, as we seen with Huff last year. With Lawson and in all likelihood a top 10 pick it's shaping up to be a pretty good group. The interior is still a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the general plan in a nutshell... pressure. If you have a rotational group of edge/pass rushers, all with different techniques, the odds of a offensive line misstep and hopefully gets fatigued in the latter stages of a game.

TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Never heard of this guy before, but it sounds like Saleh got a situational guy who is going to be fresh off the bench putting pressure on the QB while the starters take a breather. Vinny Curry 2.0. I'm not going to complain about depth players who have the ability to disrupt the QB. This might end up being a hidden gem of a move.

GreenReaper Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Here's some skinny on Martin... https://www.profootballrumors.com/2022/03/texans-jacob-martin-talking-contract "Pro Football Focus handed Martin a solid 67.3 overall score last season, which was also a career-high. The strides he has made are thanks in no small part to the fact that he was able to operate as a true 4-3 DE when Lovie Smith took over as defensive coordinator last year." "Next Gen Stats credited Martin with the third-fastest “get-off” among all defensive players, behind only the Chargers’ Joey Bosa and the Steelers’ Alex Highsmith." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The fact that you couldn't put his name into the thread title is suggestive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling either via trade or signing we will have another wide receiver on the roster before the draft. I would mostly agree Locke, however, for me, I would be ok with Wr room currently but adding a 2-3d round developmental pick. I can see taking a Wr in round 1, would not complain at all. I am also excited to see Berrios continue to grow. He really could develop into an above average player. Is getting Corey Davis back on track, Moore healthy, and Berrios to take the next step too much to ask? I dont think we are that bad off but would also agree supporting Wilson with another weapon at Wr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This is a very good signing. You need rotational pass rushers to close out games. these days. Otherwise, the big fellas are just too gassed to create any pressure. With Lawson, Huff, Martin and the Edge Rusher we select in the draft we will be in an ideal position to close out games. I really do love the way JD is putting this team together. The only remaining thing I'd like to see before the draft is the signing of a LB, but that may not be necessary if their internal evaluations of Hamsah Nasirildeen indicate that he is ready to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
