NYJ Free Agency 2022

Can't afford him

See you fellas next year, enjoy the blowout

[MBGreen]

Can't wait until the F words fly after Franchise tags are announced

[Heismanberg]

Don’t think any of these would be targets but

Engram
Ertz
Gronk


All scheduled to be FA’s

If we get an in-line TE that can block like Schultz, Engram would be interesting as a TE2 because he can line up just about anywhere.

Nothing we can do about that.  I expect most of the big names to get tagged.  That's why this draft is so important.  We need to find our own homegrown stars.

I've been told by a reliable diehard Giants fan that Engram catches like Justin McCareins

I reckon the Giants are going to go scorched earth as well, so I doubt they make any real effort to get Engram back.

I like Njoku a lot but he's about 90% receiver.

Agreed.  But this is why i taper my FA excitement until i see who's left after "tag season"

Signing Schultz/Njoku/Gesicki and drafting a TE in the 2nd/3rd/4th would have me pretty pumped. We’ve treated the position like it doesn’t exist for the past 10 years

This is my thinking too. If we don't land Schultz, signing a second-tier FA AND drafting McBride would be amazing.
McBride would be phenomenal for Zach.

Take volume away from him and put him in better spots, he's a weapon.  As a fourth or fifth option in a passing offense, he'd be nice to have. 

I bet he ends up somewhere like LA or GB and does well.

The other knock on him is he's only played 1 full season since being drafted. 

I guess if he comes on a cheap, prove-it deal....it'd be worth a flier. But my expectations would be super low.  I think there's better options out there.


EDIT: thought about it some more...and it's a hard pass for me.  Zach really needs a reliable pass catching TE to help take him to the next level in his development.  I don't think Engram fits that bill.

So you'd rather have Kroft or Griffin as TE2?

how did you come to that conclusion from my post?


You know from our prev convos and my post history that i believe TE needs to be upgraded big time.  I just don't think Engram is a good fit for us.

[bojanglesman]

I don't think Jackson will get away from NE and he won't have any desire to come here.  I bet they franchise him.  Duff would have massively overpaid for him, but Douglas won't.

He's worth the overpay.  a top 3 cover corner in the league.

Because I said I would sign Engram as a TE2 IF we signed someone like Schultz as TE1. 

I think it's a risk/reward if he comes in as a gadget player (TE2, H-Back, Slot).
