madmike1 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Duckett a possibility at RB for Jets Sunday, March 04, 2007 DAVE HUTCHINSON Star-Ledger Staff What the Jets do at running back remains the burning question as free agency kicked off on Friday and the Jets were silent spectators. Unrestricted free agent T.J. Duckett (Redskins) is a clear candidate, with Chris Brown (Titans) also a possibility. Dominic Rhodes (Colts) is available but his recent DWI arrest may have scared the Jets off. He visited the Giants yesterday. Duckett's agent, Joel Segal, said his client is eager to meet with the Jets and a visit could take place this week. "We're working on something with the Jets," Segal said, adding that at least four teams are interested in Duckett. "T.J. expressed to me a great interest in the Jets. He likes the new regime." Duckett rushed for 132 yards on 38 carries and two TDs for the Redskins last season. Travis Henry, released yesterday by the Titans, and Corey Dillon (Patriots) are also possibilities, but neither seems to be a good fit. Henry is a diminutive back in the mold of the Jets' Leon Washington. Dillon, a 10-year veteran, is talking retirement. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum has said he'll be patient in free agency. The team is currently around $15 million under the salary cap. There are rumors the Jets may look to trade up in the draft to select a top-tier running back but that seems unlikely because the price would be steep and Tannenbaum insists he wants to build through the draft. LaMont Jordan, the former Jets running back who is due a $4.75 million roster bonus on March 7, may be released by the Raiders. But someone with knowledge of the Jets' thinking indicated they aren't interested in Jordan. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because Jordan is still with the Raiders. The Jets have shown no interest in giving up a first- and third-round pick for Chargers restricted free agent Michael Turner. Right tackle is high on the Jets' list of priorities as well, and Marc Colombo (Cowboys) is reportedly among the players on the Jets' short list. Oh happy day.

D'brickMangoldJets Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 shoot me now So what your saying is it's wrong to look at a power RB and a RT. Granted they aren't great but they sure beat Houston and Adrien jones. Then your going to put a Kellen Clemens avatar up who's clearly 2nd tier to Chad. Cmon man stop being like Kerry and flip flopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'brickMangoldJets Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Just glad we wont be bringing rhodes in....he's nothing but a product of a great offense. Couldn't agree more. Ducketts just the guy to go long side Leon he blocks he hits and from what we read he wants to play here. Thats the kind of guys I want on my team. Back to Rhodes he's a ok running back but comming off a superbowl title he's not going to be as hungry plus I was never afriad of Rhodes to begin with. Week 4 I was more afriad of Addai then him and thats before anyone knew Addai. NFL game is about a power back and a speedy back like Leon takes 2 to tango now.

madmike1 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Why do they have no intrest in Lamont? Cuase maybe he has a little up side and isn't a fatass like Duckett who couldn't be out Betts in washington? I would take Lamont back over Duckett ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Smizzy Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I kinda like Tj Duckett. He isn't awesome but he will do a hell of a lot better job than Kevan Barlow Did last yr..but to be Honest Domnic Rhodes is better than Duckett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not see the Falcons fade cause they lost DJ? The Redskins are run by moreons they trade a 3rd rounder for Duckett then not use him. I have a friend who bleeds bergandy and gold. All he talks to me about is Duckett and how under used he was. He also said if we get him we will get our dollars worth too. Lamont Jordons comming off injury he left once move on. Thats like your girl leaving you for another man with more money he gets bored with her then you go back after he. Have some self dignaty man let him go.

The chances are that he's not and the jets will need another RB. I would rather that RB not be crap. Even a guy like Lamont is HEADS AND SHOULDERS better then Duckett.

D'brickMangoldJets Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I thought we were 20+ mil over the cap? I think they are dispite other reports. Either way i'm looking at plugging holes more that making a big time splash so 15-25 mil is more then operatable in my eyes. But as far as my sorce we are around 25 mil under.

However I think he can be a 15 touch back and get us those hard yards you need to win games. Besides Turner who do you want? Cause i'm on your side we need another RB somehow. If not Turner then who's worth it at the going price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
