JetNation Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 With too many good DB’s to keep on their roster, the Jets have sent promising young cornerback/return man Brandon Codrington to the Buffalo Bills. The deal will be for a swap of sixth-round picks according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. Codrington won over plenty of Gang Green fans in just a few preseason games after showing flashes of being a dynamic return man who also did a solid job in coverage when targeted.

Bleedin Green Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 For no other reason than it being the Jets, we now wait to see Codrington give the Bills their own version of Gipson's walk-off return TD once they play each other. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaffneycatch81 Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 1 hour ago, Green Ghost said: What happens is we pick higher in the 6th round than Buffalo? It’s Buffalo’s 6th for our 7th. If the Jets suck and the Bills win the Super Bowl, it would mean moving up one (or a few) spots, and worth virtually nothing. On the other hand, if the Jets go deep in the playoffs and the Bills suck, moving from a low 7th to a high 6th is worth a mid 6th round pick — so it could be as high as that. Two drafts from now, that’s still not a big haul — but it’s something (rather than the nothing they would have gotten when they cut him and he was claimed off waivers). So, I’m good with it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets clearly didn't think he was worth a roster spot as solely a KR/PR. Gipson, for all his fumbling issues, at least has some value as a WR. I expect a combination of Gipson, Davis and Corley on returns this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sperm Edwards Posted August 28 Popular Post Share Posted August 28 3 hours ago, Fantasy Island said: JD is so f#%^ing stupid. At least trade him out of our division. Being not even a straight pick, but rather a swap of picks, and at that a swap of late picks, two years from now, and taking it? Means the alternative wasn’t trading him to someone else. The alternative was simply releasing him and getting nothing back. This is something instead of nothing. If he turns into a player the issue is dumping him in the first place, not that it was trading him to Buffalo. Another way of looking at it is this: he sucks and we just got a division rival to weaken themselves a little bit, albeit in the future, by giving us some of their draft capital — for nothing; a guy who doesn’t even have a 50/50 chance of remaining on their roster by November. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Only relevant question is "who would you have cut to keep him on the team"? None of the other CBs, obviously - he's not as good as JBC or Stiggers, who are the bottom 2 CBs on the roster.

Pretty sure the Bills know what they are getting. They needed a return guy, and were happy to make a low-cost trade for one and allocate a roster spot for him. They probably have no belief that he will contribute anything from corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the other CBs, obviously - he's not as good as JBC or Stiggers, who are the bottom 2 CBs on the roster. Brownlee? Abanikanda? Yep. He’s a pure returner. Jets don’t need another roster spot on one who isn’t good enough to see the field other than returning, even in the event of a couple injuries. Most good returns are the result of good blocking that opens up larger seams than a unique skill for finding an opening. On >90% of returns there’s little significant difference who’s the one returning it. The young guys are all fast and have enough moves and live legs. It’s more important to just not cough it up than to worry whether the drive does or doesn’t start 1.2 yards closer (not that it’s even at all established that rostering this one rookie will result in such an additional beneficial change). Codrington was an UDFA rookie who cost the Jets nothing to acquire, and they turned him into a future 6th round pick, seeing how 7th rounders have little actual trade value even in comparison to a late 6th (they could move down an insignificant number of slots even from that 6th round pick to reacquire one). This was pulled off because of two returns in meaningless preseason games primarily against other teams’ future cuts. This is precisely the type of buy-low / sell-high move we're supposed to want from this front office. It’s something for nothing. FFS, if this trade went the other way around there’s little doubt the same people would be killing the Jets for such benightedness in giving up a 6th for a division rival’s rookie camp fodder nobody, who plays no positions on offense or defense at an NFL level, because on a punt return he once broke a preseason tackle attempt by a 32 year-old has-been former WR, now nominally a TE, whose career ended 5 years ago, and who again just got cut himself, by the ****ing Panthers (also again). #perspective 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Codrington wasn't even just an UDFA signing. He was a tryout player that did not even join the team until May. That means through the draft and UDFA periods every team had a shot to research and sign him and did not find him worthy of a spot on a 90 man roster. The board often complains that teams are not a meritocracy and cut these guys for veterans, but the Jets just kept 3 UDFA on a stacked D line rotation. They start former UDFA at slot and safety, have 2 other former UDFA WR. Maybe Codrington will turn out to be a stud returner, but even if he does this was the correct move. How much was Braxton Berrios worth? The Jets got him from the Pats for nothing. Yes, the Bills are not high on the waiver order, but remember that bad teams sometimes claim guys to trade them to teams in need. The Jets faced that when they had to get Kevin O'Connell from the Pats through the Lions. Do you think that the Pats slept better knowing that the Lions had that draft pick instead of them? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
