Kris Jenkins, Jason Taylor & others released from Jets

[hepcat]

I met Kris Jenkins once...came thru my line when I was a cashier at Harris Teeter. He was buying fried chicken. He is a large man.

I would love to see us bring Jenkins back. Sure he has been injured the past two years but whats the chances he gets injured for a whole season again? I know we wont get a full 16 games out of him but I bet he can still play at a high level when he is on the field. He would be a great situational player and an injured Jenkins would be a huge upgrade over a healthy Hayden. The only reason why he left the Panthers was because of Fox right? So why not bring him back for the Vet min?

I wouldn't mind giving Vernon Gholston a 1 year, vet min contract. A lot of people thought he fits better as a 4-3 end than a 3-4 OLB. If after training camp he doesn't seem to "get it", then just let him go. No harm, no foul.

I agree. I think he wasn't used the way he should of been in NY and could be a decent pass rushing DE. New coach and change of Scenery could bring out the best of the bust. I just can't see a guy with as much talent as him not being able to do something in the NFL. Did the Jets ever use him as a DE or just strictly a 3-4 OLB?

Its happened 4 times in ten seasons, including the last two. And he is much older now. I would say the odds are pretty good that he has a season ending injury this upcoming season.

Honestly, he would probably be better off taking a year off and working to get himself in better shape, then trying to make a comeback in 2012. Might be able to get a good year or two out of him then.

Hasnt he been doing that this year? I just think we could use him as a teacher for our young DTs. (that I assume we will be drafting)

I know that he won't be able to play all 16 games but I think we could use him as a situational player, I don't know what kind of shape he is in right now but I think he still has some tread left on the tires.

Dear god I just knew somebody would be serious when they said it, but I held out hope it would be someone with less than 100 posts that did it. The Huddle is as predictable as Jeff Davidson playcalling.

Funny how his brother is less talented but a team player and wins a SB. Jenkins while crazy talented is not a team player and is not a SB winner. Maybe he should follow in his lil bros footsteps.

Just knew someone would have tosuggest we bring back jenkins.

Stop

He would only make it about 3 steps before tearing his ACL again.

[DC Amp]

The team wants to go with young players and build for the future right? I don't see them bringing in an older vet to band aid the defense, especially one they traded.

Just because someone has under 100 posts doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about. Everyone has an opinion and some good points were made about bringing him in.

I am against it though. Kris is old and what makes people think he would want to come back and play for us? He didn't exactly leave on good terms. I would rather sign some one like Brandon Mebane from Seattle or Barry Cofield from the Giants + others that will be FAs this year. If we were serious about brining in Kris it should be a last resort kind of option we struggle with enough injuries as it is no reason to add more injury prone players.

OK, so here's the token under 100 posts pro Jenkins post...

Is jenkins our future? No. is he our next couple years? no. The reality is we currently have ZERO... ZERO!!!!!!!!! NT on our team. please do not attempt to say nick Hayden... please... I don't care how many posts you have. We have to draft a DT and NT in this draft. We ALSO need to sign a solid vet for this year because the typical NT takes a year to play in the NFL. I don't know if that should be Jenkins, but it needs to be somebody, and Jenkins should get a physical and a long look

^^I hope you weren't trying to make a thread just to say that. thats one reason why it takes 100 posts to make a thread.

Yes but like I said if we are going to go after a DT in FA why not spend a little extra money on someone who could come in and START rather than bringing in Kris who is old, been injured the past 2 seasons, and also left Carolina on bad terms as it is.
