New York Jets Strategy and Personnel 2009-02-20


New York Jets Strategy and Personnel 2009-02-20
FRANCHISE PLAYER: None.


TRANSITION PLAYER: None.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--ILB Eric Barton was the team's leading tackler in 2008, but figures to look for (and get) a bigger payday elsewhere.

--CB Ahmad Carroll was signed as a street free agent just before camp, and was good on special teams. The organization likes him and he will be back.

--RB Jesse Chatman's 2008 season was curtailed by a four-game suspension and a knee injury, but returning offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer likes him so he could return.

--K Jay Feely did well for the Jets as a stopgap last season, but Mike Nugent is six years younger, so Nugent makes more sense for the long haul.

--TE Bubba Franks didn't have much left in the tank and won't be back, especially now that former Green Bay teammate Brett Favre has retired.

--CB Ty Law was solid after being signed off his couch in mid-November and the new coaching regime may want to keep the veteran around, that is, if Law wants to return.

--DT C.J. Mosley has shown flashes as part of the D-line rotation; could be back if the price is right.

--K Mike Nugent missed all but one game with a hamstring injury, but is younger than fellow UFA Jay Feely and figures to return.

--CB Hank Poteat is an Eric Mangini favorite so chances are he will wind up in Cleveland.

--S J.R. Reed didn't get on the field after being signed in November. Won't be re-signed because there will be better options out there.

--FB Tony Richardson is in the twilight of his career but is a workout demon and still is a big-time blocker. He fits Rex Ryan's tough mindset and has stated he wants to be back.

--OLB Cody Spencer is a special-teams standout so the Jets will look to re-sign him if the cost isn't too prohibitive.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--SS Abram Elam is a hard hitter who is subpar in coverage, yet has an uncanny knack for the big play. Will fit Rex Ryan's system.

--OLB Marques Murrell didn't get much of a chance to show his wares under the previous coaching regime, but could be re-signed if Rex Ryan likes what he sees on Murrell's limited tape.

--WR Wallace Wright is strictly a special-teamer at this point, but he does that very well. Is likely to return.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS: Unknown.

PLAYERS RE-SIGNED: None.

PLAYERS ACQUIRED: None.

PLAYERS LOST

--CB David Barrett (released).

--LB David Bowens (released/failed physical).

--QB Brett Favre (retired).

--LB Brad Kassel (released/failed physical).
