PeterNorth09 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd like the Jets to draft John Carlson in round 3 if he's there. He's supposed to be better than Fasano and he's been a pretty good blocker for the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Graham would be a very smart pickup IMO, he is a great blocking TE and can be a decent option in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick34125 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 A speedy tight end who can compliment Baker By Hoss Aultman Posted Mar 13, 2008 While the Jets talk to Indianapolis tight end Ben Utecht, but they really need to compliment Chris Baker is a speedy tight end like Purdue's Dustin Keller, who ran a 4.55 at the combine. Here is a chat with Keller: Q)What kind of tight end are you? Keller: Generally more people would classify me as a hybrid, more of a receiving tight end. Q)Like Dallas Clark? Keller: Yeah. Q)What do you need to work on? Keller: I need to improve upon my blocking. Q)Where did Purdue like to line you up? Keller: I lined up at tight end a bit, more times than not. But I also was put in the slot. Q)How far along are you in your transition from wide receiver to tight end? Keller: I completely feel like a tight end now.

Not that I wouldn't want this to happen but why would the Broncos trade a very good player like Graham for a $12 mil piece of garbage with a bad knee like D-Rob?

Chadwick10 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 March 14, 2008 Jets' TE search won't end with Utecht If the Jets acquire another tight end to play behind Chris Baker, it’s going to be someone other than the Colts’ Ben Utecht. After visiting with Utecht earlier in the week, and holding discussions with his agent, the Jets are out of the mix, I’m told. Utecht, a decent pass catcher but nothing special, is demanding way too much money for a player of his ilk. Utecht is a restricted free agent, which means the Colts have the right of first refusal. The team that signs him would not be required to compensate the Colts with a draft pick. It now appears the Bengals are the favorite to land him. There’s not much left in the tight-end market. The top unrestricted free agents are Eric Johnson (Saints) and Jerramy Stevens (Bucs). How ‘bout bringing back Kyle Brady, cut recently by the Patriots? Brady, the Jets’ top pick in ‘95, still can block.

Eric Johnson I can see it now...The crowd chanting "we want gholston" or mcfadden or whoever With the 6th pick in the 2008 draft the New Yor Jets select Tight End Dustin Keller Purdue.

LOL, if that happens the person nearest to me at the time will be in grave danger. To be fair though Keller has pretty good potential but at #6???

The Troll Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 They gave Calvin Pace $22 million guaranteed, but thought Ben Utecht was after too much money? Does he want to be the highest paid TE in NFL history or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Pace got 11 guaranteed, but nice try. and he's due a 9 million bonus in '09, so it is basically 22 million in guarantees, but with an out encase he's abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 so it's not guaranteed then is it? Ok, if your gonna have it that way fine, no it's not technically guaranteed. But you choose; either he plays well and yes it's 22 million guaranteed or he plays aweful for 11+ million for one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays terrible, you save 9M. If it was guaranteed, you didn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but how terrible would he have to play?? He can play bad and the team will still most likely pick up the '09 roster bonus, because they don't feel like playing 11 million for one year of the guy and not seeing how he develops. The point is moot really, he's going to be on our team past '08 and he'll get 20 million in guarantees, i understand the exact terms are it's not all guaranteed, but for all intensive purposes it is.

No, I don't agree.. He may be restructured... Cutting wouldn't be too too painful. I agree, he'll be here in 2009 and beyond but let's not get crazy and think he's a lock to get the 9M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they put in an effective way to cut him if need be, which i like, but i just 100% don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
