[Rhg1084]

first rd safety let’s go!

[JetsFanatic]

Joe Douglas working his ass off!!!

[Barry McCockinner]

Good guy to bring in and evaluate given the level of the safety room. Even if he doesn't work out.

[Rhg1084]

 

10 1st rd picks!

[Sarge4Tide]

Who's gonna get the axe in the corresponding move?

[Tranquilo]

Love it 

[jamesr]

This is a PS signing, right? Not a 53 man roster signing?

I mean he was a 1st rd pick 2 years ago. He can’t beat out Oliver?

Was going to ask this, depends if he was a free agent or a waiver claim?

[David Harris]

Prob one of those UDFA D lineman

[rayzor]

he broke his leg early in his rookie season.

Signed to PS

[Rhg1084]

PS it is! Nice piece for depth tho and I’m sure Saleh will make good use from him. 

 

[JiFtheOracle]

Wow, I dont think I realized how monster of a bust he was for the Vikings.  Yikes.

Cine fractured his leg in '22 and played only 10 defensive snaps in 22-23, but he was active this preseason -- a team-high 150 snaps on defense, 13 tackles, 1 sack. The expectation is that he will be elevated once he learns the playbook. #Jets

[HighPitch]

This is great could be a steal

[Bobby816]

Is this Calvin Pryor's brother?

[varjet]

I liked this guy in the draft.   I don't think JD wants to draft safeties.  

[Beerfish]

I was hoping they would take a look at this guy.

I thought he was a really good prospect in his draft year then had a bad injury.

[Larz]

JD is on a heater

I was interested in him during the draft. 

[LAD_Brooklyn]

This is a guy I wanted us to target in the 2nd round. Huge bust for the Viking! A Calvin Pryor level bust. Could find a decent role with us as a box safety and has the size to matchup with vs TEs. 

[OilfieldJet]

I hope a combination of injuries and poor coaching allows us to scoop up a gem. He is going to be in a great group of professionals to learn from.

[Mr. Rogers]

Wow, I had been calling for a safety upgrade but this move blindsided me. I was expecting a vet deal.

I love it, though. I was very high on this guy back in his own draft cycle and feel a little surprised he got cut. Definitely a good, low risk high reward pickup. He fits the Jets system extremely well and could become the full time box-type safety if Clark goes down or leaves after the year. Wow!

[BigRy56]

I mentioned yesterday in another thread that the Jets have created a true program of player development on defense and special teams. Cine landed in the right place. Let's hope he can be another success story for JD & Saleh

Low risk high reward

That was my first reaction too. Literally don't remember hearing his name since he was drafted which obviously isn't a good sign but to get outright cut after two years is crazy.

Guessing he was just overrated on the strength of that UGA 2021 defense. My buddy who is an Eagles fan was basically claiming Jalen Carter made them all look good and was trashing Nolan Smith which feels like an exaggeration but it's interesting. Travon Walker certainly hasn't set the world on fire.

[Adoni Beast]

I really like this kid coming out of college and thought he was going to be a big time player in the league.

Hasn’t panned out for him yet but no reason to believe that he can’t become a contributor in some capacity.

[jamesr]

Ah, the old 7-1-2 defensive alignment!

That's gotta be a first in NFL history.

Respectfully, what difference does it make if reclamation projects like Cine or Solomon Thomas were "former" first round picks?

For the Jets they were bargain basement FA signings. Takk McKinley was on practice squads.
