Default Kris Jenkins as a backup NT: Worth the gamble?

Straightforward poll question to pass a little time.

Would cost too much, and the risk of paying for someone who will be out for the season in September is too high.
I would be really surprised to see him come back. I don't expect he has worked real hard on rehab this time around.

If we are looking at exJets, I'd have Shaun Ellis at the top of the list.

I voted no. His age, weight, and injury history are more than enough for me to steer clear. I'd rather give Brace and Love a chance to prove themselves.

I also agree that Shaun Ellis is a far more tantalizing option

Jenkins was a really disruptive presence....when he was on the field. He'd be worth a look for the right price. I don't know why you'd think he'd cost much, Andy. He has to know his value has crashed due his his injury history.

On the other hand Shaun Ellis is has been an excellent Dlman for many years. Nothing exceptional, but always very solid. Kind of like a Bobby Hamilton type. Now he might be more expensive.

While he'd be an upgrade short term, I think the long term value of the ability to keep a younger guy on the roster outweighs that. The Pats are already going to have to cut a few talented DL the way it is.

I voted only to piss off the Jets, do not see us signing a negative influence who seems to be hurt more than he is healthy..

Never going to happen.

First, he hates the the Pats. He is one of the players out there who thinks the Patriots stole his Super Bowl ring by cheating. When the Jets had a rally, he said he hates "cheaters".

Second, he already said he only wants to play for a team who plays on natural grass. If he was willing to play on an artificial surface, he would probably return to the Jets.

Third, the guy has torn two ACLs in two years (three for his career). He is done.
Triumph, JoeSixPat and RussFrancis like this.
