flgreen Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Brad Smith-WR-Jets Mar. 22 - 4:08 pm et Jets re-signed restricted free agent WR Brad Smith to a one-year, $1.759 million contract. While Smith is effective in the Jets' version of the Wildcat (11.5 YPC and a score on 18 carries last year), he's not shown the ability to separate from defensive backs as a wide receiver. New York may target a third receiver upgrade early in April's draft. If so, Smith will focus on playing special teams.

The tender is a 10% raise on Edwards' 2009 salary. The 27-year-old finished last season with just 45 catches for 680 yards (15.1 YPC) and four TDs, only temporarily appearing rejuvenated after coming from Cleveland. His talent is undeniable, but Edwards' confidence will have to come around to fulfill his potential. If he's unable to, the Jets may let him walk in 2011 free agency.

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 2 wide receivers with make or break years. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Makes me think they draft a wr early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Makes me think they draft a wr early. Depends on whos still on the board if they dont work out a trade to move up. Brandon Marshall can still be on the radar too. Tanne never sleeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentucky Jet Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think that Braylon is saying that he wants to be a Jet. That looms well for the team. he will be a part of the team right from the start this year. That can only benefit the team and his career. I like Brad Smith and am glad that he signed. He is a force to be reckoned with. I was disaqppointed that NEON LEON has not signed his tender and did not show up in camp. This is about team building. Perhaps he is not ready to go.

flgreen Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I agree It is certainly in Edwards best interest to have a monster year this year. He is a super talented guy who has underachieved. Some of it is his fault, some of it isn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's just too bad that Sanchez had to have that surgery and couldn't spend the off season getting on the same page as his WR's like he planned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Edwards is what he is- he can make big plays but he will drop some- you have to live with it if you want him with his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think it is really a blessing in disguise. From what I have read there will be no ill effects from this surgery. If Sanchez didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billo83 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Golden Tate is the guy we need to draft. Will he still be there at 29? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dee Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Brad Smith lined up in Seminole with Leon (hopefully) and L.T. in the backfield and Keller lined up in the slot is going to be an amazing thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistalava Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Golden Tate is the guy we need to draft. Co-sgn. I am certain Edwards is going to really bust his ass this season, but I do not think he is the long-term solution at #1 WR. As soon as this guy gets a lucrative long-term deal, he will revert to usual form. I also do not place much credence in his professed love for the Jets -- as an UFA I have no doubt he will go to the highest bidder/easiest situation.
