124 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 from NewYorkJets.com The New York Jets announced today the signing of defensive end Kenyon Coleman to a contract. The announcement was made by Jets’ General Manager Mike Tannenbaum. “Kenyon Coleman is a physical defensive lineman and we like his size and strength up front,” Tannenbaum said. “He has experience playing the 3-4 defense and we’re looking forward to having him be a part of our organization.” Coleman, going into his sixth season in the NFL, played in all 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys in 2006, registering four sacks and batting down two passes while recording 31 tackles. Coleman, originally a fifth-round draft selection (147 th overall) of the Oakland Raiders in the 2002 draft out of UCLA, played four seasons for the Cowboys after spending his rookie season with the Raiders. “I’m excited to be a part of the New York Jets organization,” Coleman said. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to play for Coach Mangini and help the team in any way I can.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very good signing and our DE situation seems to be set with Ellis, Kimo, Kenyon & Bobby Hamilton, who also re-signed with the team today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This is great news, and rest assured, Mangini called up Tuna for the skinny on this kid...if Bill likes him, I like him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 He'll at least take time away from Kimo,but under Mangini's and Quinn's influence he might just win the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Kimo will back up at DE and DT. I still would like to see the Jets spend a first or second round pick on the DL. I think DB is more likely now, or offense, since they have alot of DLs: Ellis, D-Rob, Kimo, Coleman, Hamilton, Moore, Puoha, the guy from the Vikes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MONEY87 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Kenyon should replace Kimo as the DE. Anyone is an upgrade over Kimo right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is this move going to get the Jets to the SB? When is the FO going to doing something REAL? Why was Mangini at some awards breakfast in Bumfuk, Wherever over the weekend? Kenyon's a bum, he's too old, too much mileage. What good is it if Chad still cant throw deep? Is this guy going to be a cap hit after he proves to be useless? We still havent caught up to the Pats, so why is this important? If you cant see the sarcasm here, dont even think about replying.

The Troll Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Don't know much about him. Hopefully, this isn't another Brad Kassell/Lance Legree "he just needs a chance" signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DB is more likely now, or offense, since they have alot of DLs: Ellis, D-Rob, Kimo, Coleman, Hamilton, Moore, Puoha, the guy from the Vikes, etc. I think they will bring in OG/OT and DB via FA yet. Then it will frustrate all you mocker drafters and competition teams alike as it will boil down to BPA all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So younger FA's are never busts? Considering instead of using his real name you made a joke at Kimo being old.... I figured you were saying that at 28 Coleman is too old... Next time dont hint at it being an age thing, if you didnt mean it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEN FIEND Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 So younger FA's are never busts? Of course some younger FAs bust. Some are also backups who are starting to come into their own. He's a true 3-4 DE with some upside. At least give the guy a chance to put on a Jets jersey before you break out the old "B" word. We're filling holes with capable players to give us more flexibility in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's a bust. I'm just saying this guy has been a career backup so i'm not gonna jump up and down over the signing but i won't kill it either.
