Nick Vannett was underwhelming last season and could use some comp from the FA sharing same jersey no. - there's all kinds of msgs in this signing...

Still some interesting options out there, especially at DT and RB. I would like to see them take a punt on Tariq Cohen if he is medically cleared. Would be vet minimum as he's not played in a year and half. But could give them a Sproles like back to cover any Kamara suspension if he is

Marlon Mack, healthy, was intriguing...

So Marcus Maye, who'd played FS for the NYJ is now going to be a SS; so PJ Williams is now our starter?


If we've truly blown the compensatory picks, sign Mathieu to FS already, Loomis you dull nut...

Not sure where you are getting Maye playing FS for the Jets, JP. Here's an analysis by a New York publication on replacing his position.

Which NFL free agents can fill Marcus Maye’s strong safety role in the New York Jets’ defense?

New York will likely be looking to replace safety Marcus Maye, who is an impending free agent. Maye, who played the 2021 season on the franchise tag, seems improbable to return after he and the Jets were apparently far apart in their contract talks last year.

By analyzing Maye’s usage in the Jets’ defensive scheme this past season, we can get a guide for the type of player that the Jets will be looking for to fill Maye’s role.

Maye primarily played strong safety in the scheme captained by defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and head coach Robert Saleh. Nearly two-thirds of his snaps were played in the box, in the slot, or on the edge.

Here is a look at where Maye lined up on his defensive snaps in 2021, per tracking from Pro Football Focus:

Box: 42.8%
Free safety: 34.8%
Slot: 18.0%
Edge: 3.6%
Outside CB: 0.8%

I created a formula that analyzed the snap distribution of all qualified safeties in the NFL and revealed how closely their usage resembled Maye’s. This allows us to get an idea of which players are the best fits to step into the strong safety role in Ulbrich and Saleh’s Jets defense.

Here are the free-agent safeties whose usage in the 2021 season most closely matched Marcus Maye’s. Look out for these players to be on the Jets’ radar.

You can read the rest here ...

My guess? It's probably about the money...

Unless in the Loomis/Harley calculus they've asked him to wait with a wink-wink as they may feel they didn't lose that compensatory pick with the Dalton signing...

Either way, I'm definitely Team HoneyBadger joining the Saints defense...

(excerpt)

D.J. Chark should have no issue finding targets in Detroit. Outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown, there's not a whole lot to get excited about with the Lions' receiving corps.

The problem, though, is whether Chark will be able to use those targets to showcase his strengths. After all, he only signed a one-year, $10 million contract, so he'll have 2022 to prove his worth to the Lions and the rest of the league.

As long as Jared Goff is the quarterback for the Lions, it's unlikely Chark will shine.

According to John Kinsley's Deep Ball Project, Goff was 27th in the league in accuracy on passes of 21 yards or more. Not only is he inaccurate on those deep throws, but he also tended to avoid them completely in 2021. Goff had the lowest average intended air yards with just 6.6, per Next Gen Stats.

At 6'2" with 4.34 speed, Chark is at his best as a vertical threat. While he'll be a featured part of Detroit's offense, he didn't find the optimal quarterback to raise his stock.

So in a nutshell, Jared Goff didn’t exactly live up to his draft status, nor able to elevate others.

I was never a fan of his coming out of college.

It's likely his last contract and there are no financial guarantees in life after the NFL for him. He should absolutely shop around to find the company that will offer the most for his abilities. I certainly look for better opportunities when I look for employment.

I'd like the Saints to sign him but I agree that the Saints don't need to spend a lot of money on him.

Dizz, he'd only be screwing us if he signed to big money and he knew he wasn't gonna bring the Honey Badger; don't blame him one bit for asking market value...

Adding him to our secondary, with his leadership, experience (including a Super Bowl), and his abilities would greatly benefit this secondary and negate skepticism...

Honestly I'd like to kick the tires on Emmanual Sanders. If he's lost his step that's quantifiable easy enough. If there's nothing left in the tank that's easy to see.
I doubt he's lost his route running or hands with age. He was very complimentary of our organization when he left.
