Both guys return punts. Both do it well. Clearly, the Jets think Berrios has a better chance to develop as a receiver.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure if either guy has what it takes to be a quality wide receiver, but Berrios probably has a better chance. As punt returners, it's probably a wash.

Braxton Berrios leads the NFL in punt return average and it's not even that close.

the other thing that crazy is that he doesn't even have a long return to bring up his average. His long is 26 yards, 5th shorters on the list. That means he is getting us 11 yards virtually every time.

This is what he did in college too. He averaged more yards per punt return than Dortch but he had fewer flashy big returns.

It is nice seeing Andre Roberts down on that list though.

Berrios should have caught it, but it wasn't a good throw either.  He's been the most reliable receiver we have, not that it says a lot.
Title: Re: Former First Team All-Pro Braxton Berrios

I don't see how that's not a great play from a rookie quarterback.  Pocket is immediately Van Rotened, he sidesteps, climbs, throws off-platform across his body, leads his receiver, and hits him in both hands.

Throw is fine. He's gotta catch that if he wants to be an NFL receiver. It could have been lower, it could have had more touch, but the throw was very catchable, and Wilson was under some duress.

I feel we run through this cycle with every young Jets QB. So many plays close to happening, but receivers can never make enough plays on the ball, so we end up blaming the quarterback for throwing a B ball instead of an A+ ball.

I'd love to bring Berrios back.  Partly because he's the best returner we've had in a while, partly because he's solid depth, but mostly because I'm absolutely certain that he'll walk back to New England and turn into Wes Welker 3.0.

So this scenario means we don’t procure any upgrades at WR via FA or the draft

I prefer to draft a WR high, go into the season with Davis/Moore/Rookie as the 1-3. I’m fine with Berrios as the slot specialist and the 4th WR on the depth chart.

Not a big fan of not trying to upgrade at WR

I don't see it that way.

Elijah Moore would be getting these end arounds and quick hitters, not Berrios.  If you put both of them out there at the same time, you can do a lot to keep defenses off balance.

You want multiple skill guys that can do the same things because if one goes down late in the week or during a game, you don't want to scrap a chunk of what you've prepared for.

This offense needs help outside and vertically.  Berrios and Moore give us two versatile weapons inside with similar skillsets as ball carriers and slot options.  Moore is just more capable as a receiver.  Bringing him back shouldn't prohibit this team from going after an outside WR in FA or high in the draft or both.  I think it makes a smaller wideout like Michael Gallup less of an option, but that's okay.

We've let good return specialists go several times and it never really works out for us.  A Berrios extension gives us depth that we've lacked for what feels like forever and it solidifies a piece of our special teams. 



Title: Re: Former First Team All-Pro Braxton Berrios

The wideouts that should be gone in 2022 are Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole, Jeff Smith, Vyncint Smith, DJ Montgomery, and Denzel Mims.

A slot option (Crowder), WR 4 (Cole), a WR6 (J. Smith), 2 practice squad guys (V. Smith and Montgomery), and an absolute bum (Mims).

You can turn over the wideout room in a hurry by adding one big time playmaker in the top ten and by signing a quality vet that he hoped Cole would be.

Berrios replaces Crowder, yes. Berrios would be our primary slot and gadget guy if we resign him.

I think the draft is the best place to supplement Davis, Moore and Berrios. That is a competent WR threesome, especially if Moore takes a big step forward like I think he will. However, I would like someone there that can really push Davis and Berrios and give us depth. If we draft a WR high, they can push Davis and Berrios both into slightly smaller roles at the beginning of the season, and ideally by the end of their rookie season, the rookie is playing more than either of them.

Then you can have whoever else compete for WR5 and WR6 (Mims, Smiths, Montgomery, UDFAs, veteran FAs, late picks, etc).

1JD prepared me for a Year 3 Darnold disappointment when all they showed were his USC highlights in the Darnold fluff video.

Cole nearly had the catch of the year for us, too. I'm not even necessarily opposed to bringing him back to compete for the WR5 job as that veteran depth in Heismanberg's chart. He'll probably come extremely cheap, and he knows the offense and Zach.

Cole isn't terrible and I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back as depth.  He seems like a good locker room guy.  I just think he'll look for a bigger opportunity in free agency.

I don't think there are that many bigger opportunities for guys coming off a 25-395-0 season with a 52% catch rate who were virtually invisible when they got opportunities. There is no way he is coming anywhere near $5M guaranteed next offseason. He's at the point of his career where he'll have to earn his way onto a roster as a 28-year old coming off a down season IMO. Maybe I'm underrating him a bit.

I'm really curious what Berrios' market could be. He'll have around 500 receiving yards at the end of the season, which would be a career high, so that isn't great production. But he's a good punt returner, catches a lot of passes, is extremely fast, scored touchdowns in multiple ways, and he is still 26. He's a team somebody could overpay, hoping they are getting a player on the rise. I don't think he would get the Jamison Crowder contract, but he might come close.

Agreed, but unless they trade him for someone else's spare part, you might as well see what he's got with one healthy offseason.

He's under contract, and you have to think he sees his career on the line heading into next offseason and will come in as strong as he can be. And if he continues what he was this season, you can cut him in camp. If he shows some of the reasons JD drafted him, you can stash him. But you're right, he'll have to show a lot to become a worthy stash, since he can't play special teams.

This is what I was getting at. Ideally we draft someone high that slots into our top 3 receivers. This is less about Berrios and more about us needing additional help outside, as you said.

We have a really good core right now, adding a 1/1A WR would be all I can ask for Zach to have.

Get him a TE that can do something beyond being a traffic cone out there and let’s freaking cook.

We should look at Berrios as about a 30% snap guy. Let the other guys also play some slot. Burks and Williams play a lot out of the slot. Moore played a lot out of the slot in college. If Berrios earns more time or guys get hurt, he can play more.

Berrios might not like that, but we can lock him up first and get the draft pick later.

Definitely not.

There's one wide receiver in the league with whom Zach Wilson has proven, well-documented chemistry: Braxton Berrios.  This is a Sanchez-Cotchery, Darnold-Anderson situation.  Don't deprive a young quarterback of his most familiar weapon.  We can afford to pay him, so pay him.

Agreed, but unless they trade him for someone else's spare part, you might as well see what he's got with one healthy offseason.

Mims feels exactly like one of those trades, where we swap him for someone else's draft failure with a year or two of their rookie deal left and we all see if a change of scenery helps either of them. I can't remember the last time one worked out, but it probably still stands a better chance of working than hoping Mims suddenly sees the light.

We should look at Berrios as about a 30% snap guy. Let the other guys also play some slot. Burks and Williams play a lot out of the slot. Moore played a lot out of the slot in college. If Berrios earns more time or guys get hurt, he can play more.

Berrios might not like that, but we can lock him up first and get the draft pick later.
This. 

Zach isn't good enough for Berrios to be a starter in this offense.  He needs more help.  Let berrios fill in in the same way he is now, but moore should be taking over the crowder role. 
Title: Re: Former First Team All-Pro Braxton Berrios
Post by: Badger on January 03, 2022, 03:14:29 PM


I'm really curious what Berrios' market could be. He'll have around 500 receiving yards at the end of the season, which would be a career high, so that isn't great production. But he's a good punt returner, catches a lot of passes, is extremely fast, scored touchdowns in multiple ways, and he is still 26. He's a team somebody could overpay, hoping they are getting a player on the rise. I don't think he would get the Jamison Crowder contract, but he might come close.

Crowder had 3 yr $28.5M ($9.5M pa, $17M gtd) as per Spotrac.

I don't really have much to say other than I'm also curious to see what it'll take to lock him down. Are we willing to go up to $8M pa?

That's what I mean. It's easy to say we need to lock him down now, and I think we need to try, but I'd be surprised if it would take less than $5M per year before hitting the market. We just gave Keelan Cole $5.5M and $5M guaranteed, and his production in his last year in Jacksonville isn't much different than Berrios.

Kendrick Bourne got 3-yr/$15M from the Patriots. That would be the type of contract I would try to give to Berrios. He might wait for the market to see if he can do better.

Did anyone think JFM was getting 4-yr/$55M?

To be clear, I don't think he gets Crowder money. Maccagnan overpaid for him. But I don't think we'll be able to lock up Berrios cheap. It's going to take something of an investment.

I'm trying to think of a current comparable, a top end PR/KR who can also play a solid role as a receiver or a rusher. Best I can come up with is Cordarrelle Patterson who's a different type of player but plays a similar kind of all purpose role. He's a multiple time All Pro and Pro Bowler with better numbers than Berrios, albeit he's been on better teams most of his career, and he's never made more than $5M a year.

I don’t think they’re comparable players but from a production standpoint, when we signed Crowder he had career 2600 yards and 12 TDs. Berrios has 940 and 5 to date.

I agree that he shouldn’t see Free Agency, but within reason.

If we bring back Berrios, we have 3/4 of a good WR corps. We can either sign a big ticket FA or draft a guy early for WR4.

Christian Kirk is another guy we can potentially look at as an upgrade over Berrios as a receiver.

If we can sign someone that can actually play like Christian Kirk, DJ Chark, or Mike Williams, then it takes care of receiver early.

I'm hoping Saleh and JD fix the defense in free agency though.  Go spend big on JC Jackson and some LBs.  WR should be a middle tier need in FA.

Yup this is where I’m at. We have cap space and plenty of picks, and we have a clear opening for a WR. Let’s not be complacent because we have a couple decent receivers. Year 2, this is where you go all in and get Zach a deadly weapon in the 1st or a vet where you know what you’re getting on offense. If we got Devante or go WR top 10 it could be like when Kyler got Hopkins, Allen got Diggs, or Burrow getting Chase.

As long as they make an investment and don’t ignore the position I’m happy.

Overpaying Berrios is preferable to not improving the WR corps in 2022.

Of course that's a false dilemma, but I welcome anyone to outline a realistic off-season that accomplishes that without bringing back Berrios. Which big FA are we landing? How many high picks are we gonna spend on pass-catchers?

The fact that we should do this with or without Berrios tells me we shouldn’t be spending $9 million a year on the guy. That’s like 1/5 of our “spending money” this offseason.

I think the most likely scenario is
- Spend high pick on WR
- Resign Berrios
- Spend Day 3 pick on WR
- Sign vet depth

That could mean
- Elijah Moore
- Corey Davis
- Treylon Burks
- Braxton Berrios
- Romeo Doubs
- Keelan Cole/Jeff Smith/Denzel Mims/random crappy vet WR/etc.

I think that's the most likely scenario at WR. Or insert another vet WR instead of Berrios. I like Christian Kirk and Allen Robinson.

He's a fourth string receiver and an All-Pro return specialist.  I don't know why you're using his receiving statistics against him.

Meeting Berrios somewhere in the middle and giving him $6M per year seems fair to me.  You can't put a price on continuity in a system built around a young quarterback.  We've seen this before.  You start lowballing role players and they leave...then things fall apart.  Just pay the dude and draft a receiver that you don't have to pay for three or four years.

They're a definite threat, but after last year's spending spree they're quite limited against the cap and have pending FA's and holes to fill. Having said that, every year we see teams move money around if they really want to go get someone.

They can have Berrios for 9 mil (even though he probably catches a million balls in that offense), if it means they let J.C. Jackson go and he's wearing green and white.

I'm using his receiving statistics against him because the # being associated with him is 9 million a year. In today's anti special teams NFL I would question signing Devin Hester in his freaking prime for 9 million a year.

So in this case, it would be a 3 year, $27M contract. 

Jakeem Grant got a 4 year, $24M extension a few seasons ago and he wasn't valuable in the passing game like Berrios has proven he can be. 

Elijah Moore and whoever we select in the draft will be on cost controlled rookie deals for the entirety of that kind of deal for Berrios.

(And I think it's fair to say that Joe Douglas didn't lowball Robby Anderson at this point.  He offered him what he was worth and that move worked out.)

In that situation, I think 9m per year is rich...but again I won't complain. I trust the front office to gauge his value and put together a deal that makes sense for both sides.

Would you say a 3yr/27mil contract is too rich for Berrios? Perhaps it hinges on the guarantees...

I had a late edit that shows the most fair player and contract comparison I can think of. 

I don't think you can put a price on continuity for Wilson, even if it looks like an overpay on paper.  Berrios' skillset elevates a QB's passing percentage and speeds up offensive rhythm. 

Even if we draft someone, I don't think it's ridiculous to think that Berrios catches 40-50 passes with 8-10 carries and all return work.

Crowder made about $9M a season and he was simply just a more injury prone Braxton Berrios. 

I will miss him on trick plays though.  He was awesome on double passes. 

Crowder was also our leading receiver in his first two seasons with us, and I believe still had better receiving stats this year than Berrios, despite missing a ton of games comparitively.

Berrios is worth bringing back. But $9 million is expected to be almost 1/5 of our available cap space. Are you telling me wr#4 in this offense and also a return guy is worth 1/5 of our open cap space to be used to improve this overall roster?

Thats where my issue is. I wouldn't give a flying freak if we gave him a 100 million dollar contract if it didn't have major cap implications, because you are right, it's not my money. We need players everywhere, and we need starters at like 9 positions this offseason. I can't justify 1/5 of our cap on a 4th receiver/returner and backup gadget guy behind Moore. Yeah the dude is fun and played great for us in limited opportunities this year, but he's not worth top 50 WR money. If memory serves that $9 million shakes out around the 48th best WR contract from something I read the other day. If that memory is right, that makes him a mid-upper tier #2 WR in pay. No way in hell will he produce like one.

We are going to build the roster through the draft, supposedly.  I expect Douglas to go after some high priced free agents, but I don't think Berrios signing for $9M per hurts the team.

You're talking about cap space today, you're not factoring in any cuts that we may yet make. I think there are probably a few, none too major but enough that they will add up. Cut Rankins, Griffin and Hardee and you've just found another $10M, and lost very little.

$9M is a lot but if you think he can be a legitimate starting slot receiver, it can work.

That is essentially what Crowder got.

However, if you pay him $9M, it is because you consider him a big part of our offense, at least a top 4 guy. If you look at him as an insurance receiver behind Davis, Moore and 2 draft picks, it is a bad deal.

I personally think the “rapport with Zach” thing is a touch overrated at this point in time. He caught 40 passes from Zach this year. Not too overwhelming for a guy who’s main asset is being able to reel in a high volume of catches. Much of that is a byproduct of Corey Davis being Hurt, Jamison Crowder being hurt, Mims being terrible, and Moore missing the end of the year. Our WR Corps needs to be better next year. Davis and Moore will be back, but bringing back Berrios doesn’t really do anything to improve our WRs. We still need another outside threat and/or to draft another high upside receiver early in the draft.

Berrios isn’t worth $9M, I would likely be out at that number. Even if he had produced at a 2021 level for his entire career here, I have trouble getting to $9M.  It just doesn’t make sense when looking at the market.

I prefer Zach to have some continuity while he's developing.  You make a solid argument, but i think re-signing Berrios is relatively "small potatoes" in the grand scheme of things.  It won't kill our cap, and gives our QB some familiarity going into next season.

I don't think it's just the volume of passes, it's the type of passes. You might go and watch the season video reel and make a liar of me, but my gut tells me that a lot of the passes he caught were checkdowns and it's pretty important that Zach has a 3/4 option he can trust to consistently be open. Not to mention as well that the stats might be a bit misleading as I feel like Berrios ran a lot of sweeps, which I'm pretty sure is recorded as a running play.

I wasn't a Berrios fan until as late as October.  He won me over because he improved over the course of the season more than any player on the team.  His last game was the best game of his career.  If you think Berrios isn't worth resigning because you've already seen his peak, then so be it.  I have no idea why you'd think that though, as we've been regularly derriere-raped by a guy with his skillset, physical ability, and early career profile for the last decade.  Edelman through his first three years: 48 catches, 479 yards, 1 TD.

Davante Adams doesn't want to play for the New York Jets.  No young, talented offensive player in their right mind does.  Stop letting homegrown talent walk just so we can entertain this collective fantasy that we're going to sign five blue chip free agents and Madden our way to competency.

If it's for 3 or 4 years then I'm fine with $9mil/year. That deal will be over before Moore or anyone we draft will actually become expensive and we have plenty of cap room for this excrement.

We would not just paying Berrios to be a receiver; he's great returner and with Crowder gone he'll likely compete for an expanded role as the slot WR. He's also done a significantly better job of staying healthy than the other WRs on the roster which if we're looking for a reliable check down option for Wilson then durability seems like it would be pretty damn important.

I think Berrios is a better receiver that he's given credit for.  He has sure hands and is tough.  Part of the reason he didn't produce more is that the QB position was so mediocre this year and he was behind Crowder for a good part of the year.  Yes, he is there to help the QB, but don't forget he is also hindered by the QB.  I think he is a good slot receiver given the chance.

This.

Overpaying him a bit to keep him isn't going to tie us up cap-wise. 

Look at the Bengals roster and their contract breakdowns.  They have homegrown, drafted offensive talent.  They spent big on a pass rusher and a defensive tackle this offseason.  Both Reader and Hendrickson are a big part of why they made the jump.  These are the only two free agents they really spent big on.  Mike Hilton is on a reasonable deal too. 

Retaining Berrios is fine because we don't have much money invested on offense.

Our WR Corps needs to be better next year. Davis and Moore will be back, but bringing back Berrios doesn’t really do anything to improve our WRs. We still need another outside threat and/or to draft another high upside receiver early in the draft.

Not bringing him back does create another hole that needs to be filled.

We're already giving Davis $13M. As Heis says it makes more sense to draft a top receiving prospect, and give Zach a set of Rookie / Davis / Moore / Berrios. It's financially much more responsible, means we don't have to fill a hole at PR/KR, and keeps some continuity of scheme. If you go FA / Davis / Moore / rookie you have two guys learning the scheme at the same time as Moore is trying to establish himself.

Well, that’s part of my point but I didn’t reiterate all of it in that last post.

To be clear: I would rather overpay Berrios than let him walk, and then not sign a competent FA or draft a promising rookie.

I’m fine with letting Berrios walk at $9M/yr, in a scenario where we sign a Godwin, Christian Kirk, Allen Robinson, ODB, etc. OR draft a Rookie with a 1st/2nd that can either immediately start outside or in the slot. Agree that we would have to replace KR with one of those guys, but I value starting WR over that position. Preferably we do both of the above. I’m fine with Berrios being the FA signing, but it needs to be in line with market value and reasonable in comparison to what the FAs above are getting. It also makes drafting an outside WR into the category of “must do” and not nice to have at that point.

Would also be fine with trading for Cooper/Ridley/Metcalf in place of those scenarios.

Otherwise we're either forced to reach, or stick Zach Wilson with a subpar group of guys again.

I'm all for paying Berrios what he's worth. According to sportrac 9 million/yr is severely overpaid, and flat out freaking stupid.


The numbers Sportrac suggested I'd be perfectly cool with

And so what if Davis is getting 13m a year, he's not a legit #1. And the top wideout is expected to get around 26-28 million a year. 13m a year is probably not completely unreasonable for a #2.

And hell is rather pay a #2 13 million than pay a freaking #5 wideout 9 million per year

Ok I’ll bite when have we let homegrown talent walk, ever

Typically we trade away anyone that’s decent, but that’s worked out for us pretty well lately

Only one I can think of is Demario Davis and that was just a dumb decision by the front office not based on money. Maybe Snacks but he was towards the end of his career. Only one I can think of on offense is Cotchery, but it’s not like he signed a big contract elsewhere.

If you think Berrios is the next Edelman, ok hes clearly worth that contract, but that’s a whole lotta projection in there. Maybe JD sees it that way too,
That’s basically what he would be saying by giving him that contract. Only Edelman was making $4M a year in his prime and putting up 1000 yards a season. If we think Berrios can do that, sure, pay him whatever.

Berrios is not a #5 receiver.  If they are considering re-signing him for a significant amount, they think he can be a significant receiver, not some guy who catches 1 pass a game.  Cole is gone, Crowder is gone.  It's just Moore, Davis, and then some debris.  Who is the slot guy?  Moore is going to be all over the place, not just the slot.  Yes they are going to draft someone, but you can't bank on that person being Chase from day 1.

Berrios is tough, reliably catches the ball, a good teammate, and works his derriere off. That's the guy you want to overpay and keep.

Comes down to this for me

I think this team needs another good outside WR. I value that more than slot/KR and continuity. If we can sign/draft that WR and get Berrios back, Im happy.

A) I doubt we sign Berrios at $9M and another big money WR contract to add to Corey Davis. It’s likely one or the other.

B) Resigning Berrios at $9M might also put some hesitancy out there to draft a WR with our 2nd 1st or a 2. How do you get that guy on the field right away with your 1-3 roles filled?

TLDR: I want to sign or draft an outside receiver. As long as that happens, I wouldn’t be upset with Berrios signing a contract even if it is considered an overpay

Do we think that Douglas values wideout in the draft?  He traded back several times before taking Mims.  He had a shot at several other better wideout prospects and passed.

We should have a shot at another really talented prospect at the top of round two:  Christian Watson, Jahan Dotson, George Pickens, John Metchie, David Bell...

A few of these guys will slide. 

I'm thinking he's going to go with a combination of OL/DL in the first and then go for pass catchers in the second (BPA WR and BPA TE).

Kupp got his extension when he only had one great season.

Hell Davis APY is less than Robbie Andersons extension with the freaking panthers.

The cap has changed and contracts are going way up. Davis does not have a legit #1 contract and he sure doesn't play like one

Also keep in mind we're ANY of the above contracts you posted guys as UDFA? Or were they guys under team control whose teams used leverage to get favorable deals?

We paid a premium for Davis because he was on the open market. Just like whoever gets Adams will pay a premium for him (unless he leaves money on the table to go to a contender/city of his choice)

There are 4 receivers who are paid over $20M a year. Take Nuk out and the highest is Julio Jones, who is not worth his $22M a year any more.

Adams might get close to Nuk's money but he ain't coming here for it, so I'm not sure who you're proposing to give $20M+ to instead of paying Berrios a million or two more than you deem his market value to be.

We've taken a WR in the 2nd two consecutive drafts. Based on that alone I would think yes, and that we could potentially grab someone in the 1st this year. Especially with a not-so-elite top of the draft, if he likes one of the WRs a lot I wouldn't be surprised at all if we take one at 10.

I realize that it's by all means a terrible QB class. But surely there has to be 1 or two QB's who standout above other mediocre prospects?

I don't expect to get a bounty or a premium. Rather if the jumble thing with wideout was true, then presumably trying to trade back would be the smart move.

Maybe trading out to a team who really wants a left tackle is another option.

There's months till the draft so plenty of time to see how the boards play out.

And I know everyone always wants to trade back and stock picks. I'm just saying that our biggest needs might not align with the best values on the board

I just can’t see it. H suggesting WR 9 at 35 would indicate essentially 1/4 of the first round is WRs and no way that is to be the case, especially if the first doesn’t even go until after 10. We’d basically be going WR every other pick pick from 11-34.

6 in the top 34 is much more realistic but even then would be fairly historic. When’s the last time 6 WRs went in round 1? Did it even happen in Watkins, OBJ Mike Evans year? I don’t think it did. I think it’s fairly likely we are overrating the WR group (to an extent) because we all want one so bad for Zach. I expect someone to slide and be there for us at 35.

Now it’s an entirely different matter if you want to argue would I rather select WR 1 at 10 and IOL 5 in round 2 or IOL 2 at 10 and WR 6-7 in round 2. But that’s a whole mother debate.

I'm not nearly as high on the rest of the receivers so that's why I'm an advocate for taking the one of our choice at 10 or trading back into the mid-1st before taking one.

Wilson, London, Burks, Williams, Olave, and Dotson will all likely go round 1. It's conceivable that one or two could slip into the 2nd.

I'm not nearly as high on the rest of the receivers so that's why I'm an advocate for taking the one of our choice at 10 or trading back into the mid-1st before taking one.

After watching Christian Watson play a little bit, I'd be fine with him at 35 or 38 if we decide to go OL/EDGE in the first round. 

Watson + McBride in the second would be a nice haul.

Admittedly, I didn't know who he was prior to last week. If he blows up the combine, he likely won't escape the 1st after the show he put on in Mobile.

That could push Jameson Williams into the second

Berrios has an offer from the #Jets that they feel is fair. He will/has shop himself and see what the market is like.




take this with a grain of salt

With all the WRs in the draft and free agency, no one may give a excrement about Berrios except us and Belichick.

I wish some of those rushing TDs were just pop passes so Wilson would get credit for them too

We did at least do a pop pass to Garrett Wilson the week after Berrios had a long td run

Sources are saying the 17 year old is taller than Berrios
