piney Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Some interesting tidbits on players who could help fill the Jets holes... first McAlister: Ravens can save $8 mil dumping McAlister The Ravens reportedly have $20 million in salary-cap space before retaining any of their restricted and exclusive-rights free agents. If they cut cornerback Chris McAlister, it would free up an additional $8 million in cap space. -- Carroll County Times If the Ravens are inclined to cut McAlister for cap space, how affordable would he be? With Rex here and our need for an upgrade at 2nd CB, it would be a dream scenario for The Jets. Any thought? now Anderson: Browns QB Derek Anderson to Jets? If the Jets decide to trade for a quarterback, the most logical one is Cleveland's Derek Anderson. For starters, Anderson has the most attractive contractual situation of any veteran quarterback. He is due a $5 million roster bonus on the 15th day of the league year, which is about a month from now. He signed a three-year, $24.5 million deal last year and still has two seasons remaining on it. Beyond the contract are the relationships. Browns coach Eric Mangini and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum have enough of a relationship that the two men could work out a deal. Also, Jets coach Rex Ryan worked with Anderson in Baltimore before the Ravens released the QB. -- NFL Network With the Jets need for a QB and his affordability, he could prove to be worth a shot. If Kellen Clemens proves he can't win the starters job in '09, then we may need some other options. I know Anderson was a flash in the pan, but he still has some nice tools and in a competition in a new city could bring him back around. Any thoughts?

I know Anderson was a flash in the pan, but he still has some nice tools and in a competition in a new city could bring him back around. Any thoughts? I was never too high on Anderson to begin with, so I may be biased on this. I thought he came into a very good situation, which he was given almost sole credit for. Joe Thomas played like a stud in his Rookie year, which didn't hurt have erich steinbach next to him as well as a resurgent Jamal Lewis. I felt as though even given the amount of time he had in the pocket he was quite inaccurate. I was a sole believer that Braylon Edwards and K2 made him that year, and than did a 180 and basically ruined him this year. He has showed promise, but I just don't like him personally. If he was brought in it would create quite the drama and nice little story. Him and kellen were big high school rivals and College rivals, Kellen playing for the Ducks and Anderson playing for the cross state rival Beavers.

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Most reports I have read have the Jets not interested in DA because they don't believe he is very good. I don't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Pass on both of these players. I see us passing on a QB in the draft also, unless Stafford falls to us. And that isn't going to happen. After looking at stats and mock drafts, because lets face it no one can watch every college game, I don't really see a franchise QB. Maybe we can get lucky and draft a franchise QB in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Didn't McAllister get benched last yr? Now, maybe the HC had a lot to do with it, but if he was that great, I think Ryan would have lobbied to not bench him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Put him in the camp that says Derek Anderson still has tremendous upside. But I don't think he is the ideal fit for what the Jets want to do. There will be plenty of QBs worse than him starting next season. My concern for him with the Jets is his completion %. He has great size and a great arm. But to bring a guy in that has completed only 55% or so of his passes is a concern with the way this team is built. Can he play in an offense like this? Not sure, but if he could adapt he would be worth a look. The Jets are going to be a running team, they need a QB completing 3rd and short.

If ratliff wins job, you have a better backup with Byron Leftwich I could see. We don't have to give anything up for him and that would give us 4 qb's to compete for three spots.

Klecko73isGod Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Could be wrong, but I thought he got hurt? Yeah, I think he was hurt. Plus he is older than dirt. If we could have had McAlister 5 or 6 years ago, hell yeah, he was the best in the biz back than. But now? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lucked out with Pennington and his production this year and were able to draft the QB of our choice in Mr.Henne.

AdropOFvenom Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I think Anderson has a nice upside, but most reports suggest the Jets interest was limited at best so I take it they don't agree.

Irish Jet Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Derek Anderson is a terrible QB. He was unbelievably bad for most of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If the Jets go veteran who is signed on another team currently my 1A would be Derek Anderson. Young, strong arm and did very well in Cleveland before his receivers started dropping everything and the fans and organization (mostly the fans) pressured Crennell to play Quinn. Last year Anderson was iffy, but that wasn't because of him. 2007 he was very, very good. He has the size and the arm strength and he will win elsewhere.
