From a Tennessee paper...McCairens

[SoFlaJets]

Former Titan WR could return

April 19, 2007

A familiar face could potentially wind up on the Tennessee Titans

[LionelRichie]

mccairens for a 4th sounds like a great deal to me.

[KSJets]

They're probably looking for a 3rd now so that when the draft comes and they accept a 4th it will look like they settled for the 4th when that's probably the one they want anyway.

[PeterNorth09]

J-Mac isn't worth anything more than a 5th round pick. The Titans are desperate for receiver help though.

[ECURB]

I think we should keep him, he has more value to us in 07' than a 4th-5th rounder would.

Walt Michaels agrees. Is Brad Smith ready?

[Ghost]

I would be happy to get a 5th, but I don't see it happening.

[ECURB]

Walt Michaels agrees. Is Brad Smith ready?

Even if Brad Smith is ready, to be good at the WR spot you need at least 4 guys who can play... (Dwight Doesnt count)

What if Cotch or Coles go down?? Which is bound to happen for at least a game... wouldnt it be nice to have a veteran WR who can step in and start like J-mac??

[mudcat21]

Jets will definately draft a WR in this draft. My pick would be Craig Davis - LSU at 2b.

His salary is pretty high for a 3rd WR, but i like having him on the team seeing as he is fast with decent hands. I guess i'd like to see him stay, who knows, if tangini can find another leon washington with whatever pick we might get for J-Mac, it could be worth it.

Absolutely. Especially with his deception and skill, we could use him for some great play action.

Walt Michaels thinks any scent of Herm sends Jets fans into KILL mode. I have always loved a big guy like #81 in the slot; he's made some game-saving 3rd down catches for us.

please tell walt michaels this post makes sense. we could do much worse than mcaerins

Right with you big e. I think he will come out strong with something to prove. He started coming around the last few games of the year also.

i think if we can get a 4th rd pick for jmac then it would be a great deal for both teams. i mean i'm not a fan of him but the titans do need a PR and KR with pac man being out. if the jets can land a 4th rder that would be a nice pick-up and they can fill in a needs area. as for a vet reciever i bet we could find somebody to jump in. Anybody know were koren robinson is?

Justin McCareins' agent says his client would be open to restructuring his contract if he's traded to the Titans.

Agent Cliff Brady confirmed that the Jets are shopping McCareins, but believes they're asking for a first-day pick in return. The Titans are needy at receiver but may not be willing to give up more than a fifth-rounder.

We should not take anything less than a 4th rounder for J Mac when you consider that we gave up a 2nd rounder to get him and the Titans originally drafted him in the 4th round.

[#27TheDominator]

Don't remember JMac ever being such hot **** as a return man. Barely capable as a stopgap.

Robinson is in Green Bay, he's working on his 3rd strike. I bet he stays with GB this year, he was seemingly putting his life together before the suspension came through. Sending that type of guy to New York would surely end his career early (earlier than it might already be).

What kind of logic is that? He's worth what he's worth. Draft position and what we gave up for him are meaningless. Maybe we should offer the Pats a 6th for Brady. JMac's big contract is no help in moving him and we should thank he agent for being willing to renegotiate if he's traded.

For a team as receiver needy as the Titans, J Mac is worth a 4th round pick, he's still a very capable possession receiver.

And do me a favor dude, lose the friggin' attitude.

If you have an opinion, by all means voice it, but you don't have to come off like such a snapper all the time.

Dude, it's the internet everybody comes off as a jerkoff. Besides, I really am a jerkoff. Ask my wife. If he's worth a 4th to Tenn. fine, but I don't think it'll have much to do with us overpaying for him.

I can agree with you there.

[Sperm Edwards]

It's true. His wife whispered it into my ear. It was in Italian, but her eyes said she was telling the truth.

You should try to be more like me & strive to please everyone. Jerkoff.

Walt Michaels thinks a year with Mangini is worth something, especially to the Jets. Curtis Koren ConRobinson (or ???) would not be able to step in without turbulence.

Has there been a breakdown of what a McCariens trade possibly bring?

[SeniorFlaJet]

I don't think Mac's salary is going to be an issue if his agent finds a trading partner.

The team that gets him will renegotiate his contract that both sides will be happy with.

If he restructures we should absolutely hang on to him. Problem is - if Chads throwing - it's likely to be a deja vu year for him. He's going to get the longer routes with a lot of the same (lack of) results. If he is around, I expect him to be fighting a lot harder for the underthown Chad balloons.

Considering he didn't fight for them at all last year, that's not hard to do.

[sirlancemehlot]

I would actually give Tennessee a fourth round pick just to take this overpaid JAG off our hands. He's the classic example of an "I'll bet he really comes on strong this year" player that gets more chances than he earns. They should make a team of players with potential that are "just about to mature". He could join McGraw, A-drain Jones, and a host of other useless Hermy pickups.

[The Troll]

I think we should keep him, he has more value to us in 07' than a 4th-5th rounder would.

Contrary to your delusional thinking, the Jets are NOT a Super Bowl caliber team in '07. Trading Justin McCareins for a 4th round pick would be amazing. Personally, I am surprised that any team would give a draft pick, period, for the guy. A 4th rounder is pretty damn high for a 28 year old #3 receiver that has already proven he can't cut it as a starter. We drafted Leon Washington and Kerry Rhodes in the 4th round the past two years. You are telling me you'd rather keep ****ty Justin McCareins because of your delusional Super Bowl dream rather than pick up an extra fourth rounder, a round in which the Jets have drafted two players in consecutive years that contribute MUCH more to the team than McCareins?

Excellent post and I agree 100%. I thought the JEts would have to cut the guy. To get a 4th rounder would be amazing.

[Barton]

A 4th rder for him would be fantastic. I think we end up settling for a 5th though.

He's definitely not gonna be a Jet in 2007.

Walt Michaels likes the talent listed here; but still thinks McCariens is solid. The ambiguity around our FO's intention is a welcome sign.

3RD ROUND:

89. N.Y. Jets: Paul Soliai, NT, Utah

90. Philadelphia: Quincy Black, OLB, New Mexico

91. New England: Tony Hunt, RB, Penn State

92. Buffalo (from Baltimore):Tarell Brown, CB, Texas

97. San Francisco (compensatory selection): Ryan Harris, OT, Notre Dame

98. Indianapolis (compensatory selection): Marcus Thomas, DT, Florida

99. Oakland (compensatory selection): Mike Walker, WR, Central Florida

4TH ROUND:

115. Tennessee: David Irons, CB, Auburn

[lawngnome o-line]

yeah my mistake guys on k.ro after i posted it i saw that he was under electric monitoring and was on his 3rd strike. i was thinking of an under-valued guy who the jets could sign off the street, but k.ro isn't a mangini guy who has alot of off the field problems and also has alcoholism to boot. but if they find like that on the street who can provide experience for smith and provide depth just incase cotch or coles go down.
