Well, this means either Michael Carter or Bam Knight is a goner. Probably Knight since I think MC can rebound as a pass catcher and 3rd down back with Rodgers throwing him the ball.

Cook and Knight are similar RB's

Carter, like Moore, has a big mouth and JD shut it up. Carter is a goner.

Either the jets have little faith in carter until breece returns, or they have serious doubts about breece returning to form for a big chunk of the season.

Nah I’d trade Carter b4 releasing Bam. It’s only a 1 year deal. Bam is a good back to keep and more versatile than Carter. And he has a cooler name. 

i hope end of carter no bam

Are we screening suitors for our daughters or trying to win football games over here?

Winning football isn't worth everything. I am not ok with a scumbag that hits women. I guess you're ok with anything? Or do you draw the line when it gets too much for your moral compass? Its all rhetorical so no need to answer. I don't want to read the sad standard you have for it.

We need a RB capable of catching passes on this roster.  Cook and Bam really aren't that. 

I'm no fan of MC but we need his services on 3rd down.  

[David Harris]

Everyone -Fantasy football update for me: hold onto your seats

I am now NOT keeping Breece Hall in my auction draft.

Though I still intend to acquire him from the draft pool. 
 

I know it’s a risk. I could keep him at $31 this year, it would be $35 if I kept him 2 years. I’m going to roll the dice and hope he doesn’t go for that much given the Cook signing.

The track record of RBs the year after his injury is really rough.  By 2024 he should be fine but 2023 will absolutely be slow going for him, whether he suits up Week 1 or not.  We definitely needed to add to the RB room.

I just didn't think Cook was the guy we needed to go get, is all.  My preference was to wait to see who springs loose on cutdown day.

lol.

Breece Hall missing games?

Of course.  He always was.  I am not sure why some fans were thinking he was going to be ready for week 1.  He blew out an ACL and hasn't played since late October of last year.  No training camp, no nothing.  

This allows Breece Hall 4-6 extra weeks to get into game shape.  Who knows?  Maybe an RB can now be traded for a later-round asset.

Good for you that you have a morale compass.  Its disgusting that we have to watch this POS in green and white.

No, that’s not what I said. If you want to debate with someone who is ok with men who hit women, you should probably go find someone who holds that view.

He WAS a better player than both. He was extremely average to below average last year and he's all of a sudden going to regain from when the Vikings couldn't wait to dump the guy. Names mean nothing ultimately in the NFL. Everyone declines, RBs more than any other position.

 

he had almost 1500 yards and 10 TDs last year.  while he's not the player he used to be, it's hard to call that below average (unless by his own standards).

glad it's only a 1 year deal.  there are legitimate concerns he's about to fall off the proverbial cliff, so a 1 year deal lessens the risk.  reported money is "up to $8.6MM", so need to see what it guaranteed, what is base and what is incentives.

obviously they are concerned on breece not being ready to start the year and certainly not ready to carry the load a full year.  i don't evaluate bam and carter in camp/practice, so i'm in no position to compare them to cook.  the coaches and front office obviously feel he's more valuable and assumedly a better player than the non-breece RBs on the roster.

My take never changed on RBs dude.  I was always in favor of adding a RB, just not Dalvin.  The argument you just quoted is exactly what I've been saying all Summer.  

Only thing that changed was that I could no longer hope for Eno Benjamin after he tore his ACL, lol.

I didn't know he was coming off injury. Sounds about right - Jets sign aging player on the downside coming off injury.

One thing-- DJ Reed is #4 and earned it. Choose a different one.

lol. Sorry. Hitting women and abusing women is ok for you, but beating dogs isn't. Got it.

 

[Larz]

The Jets officially have a pick your poison offense now. With a QB smart enough to take advantage of it

safety up ? Throw over his head

safety back? give it to Cook. 
 

should be the type of offense that at least moves the chains and at least flips field position and gives the defense a test. 
 

this is like Dungy’s colts. 
 

throw it to get a lead , then unleash the pass rush pound the rock 
 

 

[Bungaman]

I have mixed feelings on this.

I root for the laundry, so if the coaching staff thinks this makes us better, I can accept that. 

The part of me that roots for the people/personalities on the team makes me sad that one of the young RB's on the team probably won't be around to see Opening Day. I was of the opinion it was a good group whose only direction was up in terms of performance, and they seemed to have the right attitudes.

While I don't like Cook's off the field history, by a recent account I read, he was well regarded and respected in the Vikings' locker room, for whatever that's worth. 

It might have been "in the bag" for a while, but maybe the Jets let NE set the current market for FA RB's by signing a much longer in the tooth vet - Zeke - earlier in the day, and their final offer revolved around another deal getting done. We certainly got the better of the two - and the money is just someone else's money, and a one year deal to boot.

video is basically cook in the passing game....spoiler he catches and also protects the ball really well. 

game winning catch

 

he is best back available this year. good job Jets

[Rob Moore]

Not really a fan of this.  I like our young guys and I thought they were adequate. But he’s a Jet now, so let’s go!

I’m also kinda shocked how quickly many on this board are ready to throw Carter in the dumpster/trade him away. I think Carter is a very good player and seems like he’s great lockerroom guy.

So you're not ok with someone abusing women, but its ok to financially compensate one if it fits your desperation to win football games? Got it. Not much of a difference, but you do your thing.

Less than zero chance!

I am sure he will be an upgrade over Carter / Bam / Izzy, but not a fan of this move.

[Rangers9]

So the Jets get Cook on a one year deal for up to 8.6. Not sure about the specifics. And Zeke signs with the Patriots for 4-6.

And yet:  MC's numbers as a receiver the last 2 years are superior to Dalvin's.  Cook also has 11 drops the last 2 seasons. 

He can absolutely help us in the early downs.  3rd down not so much.

uh huh whatever you say....yeah you def did not change your view lol

[Bobby816]

For a well rounded backfield we should keep Carter over Bam. Izzy is better than Bam and Carter is better at catching the ball than Bam and Izzy. So hall starter when healthy with Cook  mixed in. Carter and Izzy barely getting any touches. The great news of this is no injury to our RB room now ruins our season.
