Should the Patriots bring back Yodny Cajuste? (Waived by Jets with Injury Designation)

Re sign him?

I think you have to consider bringing Cajuste back, given the mystery regarding Anderson. I’m starting to get a bad feeling about Anderson having a truly serious health issue (G-d forbid). Cajuste was around for part of the offseason so if he is healthy would not need a lot of time to integrate. The few times he’s been healthy he’s been decent at times, which seems to be where Rieff and McDermott are at this point as well.

OT = biggest potential issue IMHO, it’s deja vu all over again. Ugh

Re sign him?

At this point I'd rather first look to find somebody with more substantial Left Tackle experience; Cachoo would probably be just another Right Tackle candidate, of which we have many.

Going to have to look deep in the couch cushions for such a guy. A lot of teams are unhappy with their OL.

Re sign him?

He’s hurt. I can’t find anything about the extent of his injury, but it must be reasonably serious since they’re giving up on him despite other major issues at the tackle position.

Why? We let him go and then he failed with the Jete
What could possibly make us suddenly think it was wrong to release him? Did he do something to stop sucking?

Maybe Cajuste should contact Ferentz to ask what his longevity secret is ?

Jeesuz… re-sign a guy the Jests just cut due to injury and we cut because he was perpetually injured because a FA we signed is currently injured despite no career history of injuries?

Teams are at 90 man rosters, some teams are way over the salary cap. There are teams who have old but talented OT’s who will see their young OT play well and cut the old guy to save money… or trade him.

Wait for camp cut downs, then fill out your roster. We don’t even know what we have in Sow or if Calvin Anderson will come off the NFI list next week. Have some patience.

Fun fact. The Pats chose 10 players in the 2019 draft. Not one is still with the team. They chose only four in the 2017 draft, but two are still with the team.

How many of our 2019 draftee are still playing in the NFL?

I think that is a better test than whether they still play for us.

All of them except Ken Webster, pick 252.

I can definitely see your point here, I wasn’t sorry when the Pats let Cajuste go since I thought With Anderson and Rieff coming in they had made Cajuste expendable.

My comment was/is primarily based on concern about Anderson, I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe he is coming back soon and will be ready to play Game 1. If Anderson is not going to be there then I’m not sure who are the options at LT behind Brown and I guess Rieff. Brown has not been on the field consistently and reports indicate that Rieff has been less than stellar.

So who is currently the next man up behind Brown and Rieff at LT? Sow? McDermott? Steuber? Strange? I’m interested in your opinion on this, and of course everyone else’s opinions about it also.

Fact indeed... Though not much fun in the knowing of it.

An excellent question.

Some of us had hoped that one of the possible answers would've come from the draft...

I thought Anderson was at practice the other day though not participating. Would seem to indicate that he might be back soon.

He was a Sunday’s practice per a tweet I saw. Zach Cox of NESN mentioned Mike Onwenu had been spotted working down on the lower field, but that’s the first and only report I’ve heard about him. The Boston “Knights of the keyboard” would rather try to drum up a QB battle rather than report on the team’s starting RG and best OLineman.

 

[Grogan14]

No

Re sign him?

No way. He will be back on IL as soon as the ink is dry on the contract. He also was never any good even when healthy

Sign Eric Fisher

I think all of them are preferred to Cajuste, and I bet there will be many OT released in cut down day that would be better options.

Brown, Reiff, McDermott, Sow seem to be the top 4 OT depending on how the next month goes for Anderson.

Sounds like it’s McDermott. During yesterday’s practice when they got into the personnel expected to play tomorrow, it was McDermott at LT and Sow at RT with Brown and Reiff sitting out. From what I’ve ready, Stueber has only played LT while Sow has only played RT. They each have college experience on the other side though.
