What are the chances Ferentz is a starter this year? Lol

He will be a Game Day backup at OG and C.

 

[upstater1]

The Jets sign Pro Bowl guard Laken Tomlinson to a $13-14m a year deal over 3 years. Puts Shaq Mason's current money in perspective.

 

[mgteich]

Part of improving the team for next year involves retaining existing talent.

like Karras?

 

[Ring 6]

He will be a Game Day backup at OG and C.

If he even makes the team

 

[Mike the Brit]

Ferentz, Hoyer, Slater .... Now all they need is to give Bolden and White $4m each and the Pats will have a great shuffleboard squad.

 

[long distance]

Sigh
let's see the starting LG who we get for less, who alos in a starting center

Relax. They can draft & develop another Karras on Day 3. And he was my super binkie...

[Rob0729]

The pats are all set now; we've saved money and re-signed OG/C Ferentz.

You do realize there is a reason why Karras was signed by the Pats on an one year deal for short money? He wasn't all that good the year before in Miami. And there is a reason the Pats let him walk a year earlier.

Karras is a good player, but he is also a journeyman who is on his fourth team in the same number of years. He isn't Shaq Mason or Joe Thuney. He is replaceable.

[JackBauer]

like Karras?

I would have preferred to keep him but the team won’t sink or swim on a replacement level OG.

 

[mgteich]

The Karras departure does mean there is probably going to be disruption again on the OLine , even with Onwenu earning a starting place ?

We needed OT's yesterday.
We need OT's today.
We will need OT's tomorrow.

 

[BadMoFo]

5 years, $82.5 million for Mr. INT

 

[venecol]

JC to Chargers for $82.5M 5 years

 

[venecol]

We really couldn't afford $16.5M apy? Wow

JC to Chargers for $82.5M 5 years

Unless 5th year is a void year.

 

[Tottie]

We couldn't sign him for 16 avg? Man I know BB is good at finding cheap CBs so long as it's not a 2nd round but this sucks.

 

[long distance]

Surprisingly low acc to ALL reports. BB should match that.
And i dont even see JC as lockdown..

LMAO

agreed

The team is probably fine with Onwenu at starting LG, and Ferentz as Game Day backup center (the 8th Game Day OL). We can fine a backup OG or two, of we don't already have them on the roster.

THE ISSUE IS AT OT
Wynn is on his contract year.
We have no RT.
Herron is perhaps an OK backup.
A developmental OT will come from the draft.

We may see signings and acquisitions, but OT is the most critical issue on the roster

To put it another way, the team we have could probably start tomorrow except at PK and OT. Yes, obviously, we want upgrades.

 

[venecol]

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

That is insane. He really didn't want JC Jackson back if he let him walk at that price. Wow

I just saw they front loaded the money. Jesus.
