Jets trade for Ryan Clady

[TheSpecialJuan]

ets acquired LT Ryan Clady and a seventh-round pick from the Broncos for a fifth-round pick.

Clady had been on the trade block since the Broncos signed Russell Okung at the start of free agency. He'll take over at left tackle for the Jets after D'Brickashaw Ferguson's retirement. Clady agreed to restructure his $9.5 million salary as part of the deal. He hasn't played a game since 2014 due to ACL surgery, but gives the Jets a proven starter if he can stay healthy. The move also clears Denver's cap space for a potential Colin Kaepernick trade.

Sets the wheels in motion for Kaepernick to be a Bronco

Used to be a top 5 LT but injuries have really killed his career.

its gonna happen. Give Elway credit for finding a way to make it work.

That was easy. I remember when Clady and Otah were in the same draft and all the potential both of them had.

At first, when Otah was healthy, he made a huge difference.

I don't think he has actually played since 2013

I know everyone kills Hurney for that pick(mostly the trade part of it) but Otah was awesome his rookie year. If it weren't for injuries and his laziness we would have had the best tackle tandem in the NFL for half a decade. He was a huge part of our dominant run game in 2008.

Absolutely 100%. Rookie year he just looked bigger than anyone else on the field, was bulldozing, and that run game was wide open. It's kinda a sad story, what could have been.

Thinking is that hard? He was hurt in 2013 he had lisfrac surgery.... He was a pro bowler in 2014.

So I mixed up that he missed 2013 instead of 2014. Whatever. Congrats about being a douche about it though.

Agreed. Otah was a beast early on. Then he got lazy and fat. Not Hurney's fault. Hurney did enough to tarnish his time in Carolina but, Otah was not something that I think is fair to give him poo about.
