That was my first thought. Either kerley or perhaps cumberland gets some more pt?time for Kerley to show what he can do.
Cumberland is on the IR.That was my first thought. Either kerley or perhaps cumberland gets some more pt?time for Kerley to show what he can do.
I don't. We need a veteran who can also add a little toughness to that offense. Too many quiet guys. Also Mason can't do worse than getting thrown to almost a dozen times and only catch it once. Good move by Texans.My initial guess is that this is a better Texans' football move than anything that will consistently matter from a fantasy football standpoint. and I have some question about the football move.
You could be right. But it could also be a case where their other WRs are just not getting it done. I heard on the radio today that Jacoby Jones was thrown to 11 times last week. Caught one ball. Hasn't done anything all year either. The Texans probably needed another hand even with AJ healthy.This looks like bad news for the AJ owners. This is almost exactly what IND did with the Manning recovery. They say that the player is going to be good to go then they just happen to bring in the "Veteran" as depth, then next thing you know the "Veteran" is named the starter. They may be looking at AJ being out longer than any of us want to hear.
Why is this bad for AJ owners? He's still expected to be out 2 more weeks. Houston has 2 HUGE games coming up, they need to win one of them.This looks like bad news for the AJ owners. This is almost exactly what IND did with the Manning recovery. They say that the player is going to be good to go then they just happen to bring in the "Veteran" as depth, then next thing you know the "Veteran" is named the starter.

I've never seen the Texans run a 4 or 5 WR set? They always have a RB in, and a TE (Daniels).You are right that they need to win them, so that will be good for Houston. The reason it could be bad for AJ owners is that he may be out longer than they are telling us, however when when AJ comes back, it should be ALL AJ, ALL DAY!! Mason will be in during situational play (4-5 WR sets).
I think QB is a little different than WR in these situations.This looks like bad news for the AJ owners. This is almost exactly what IND did with the Manning recovery.

Cumberland is out for the year. Matthew Mulligan is now the backup TE. Kerley will now be the slot WR/WR3 for the Jets but they will probably run a bunch of two TE sets and look to run even more.That was my first thought. Either kerley or perhaps cumberland gets some more pt?time for Kerley to show what he can do.
They don't. When they go empty set it is with multiple TE and/or a RB. They never put 5 WR on the field. They rarely even have 5 active WR on gameday.As to those who are suggesting this is in response to Andre's status, that is unfounded. That would be the likely reaction from an out-of-touch POV, but anyone who is aware of the Texans' WR situation and saw the game against Oakland last weekend knows that this is in response to the ineffectiveness of Jacoby Jones as opposed to any perceived setback from Andre (who hasn't even gotten on the practice field to be set back).I've never seen the Texans run a 4 or 5 WR set?

Plus the last team is claiming he never learned their playbook and wanted to go home on Mondays and Tuesdays.Good trade from the "we need a savvy veteran who can learn the playbook" point of view.Bad trade from the "we need someone who isn't washed up" point of view.
Is he asking for a look?Was Mason the best HOU could do?I guess this should really put the Randy Moss coming back rumors to bed once and for all if the would not even give him a look....

Agreed. The WR position is broken and the front office and head coach are hanging onto their jobs by a thread, so they're throwing #### against the wall to see if it sticks (see the Iglesias signing as well). A conditional 7th round pick for a savvy (possibly washed-up) veteran is low risk high reward.I agree that I wouldn't try to interpret this move as saying much about Andre's injury. It was pretty clear from how the Raiders game went that they need some help at WR when he isn't in there... and there's enough reason to question Jacoby Jones even when Andre is in there that this makes sense for only a 7th round pick. Even if he doesn't work out, it probably isn't much of a loss anyway for that late of a pick. Again, I attribute a fair amount of this to a front office that knows they have to make the playoffs trying to increase their chances as much as they can.
It also gives Houston a person with extensive knowledge of their opponent this week. Does that gives them an edge - no idea. It's a move other teams have made - NE comes to mind.Until we hear otherwise, this to me seems like Houston needs depth at WR. We can all agree that Houston is lacking in the WR dept for as long as AJ is out. Houston had to do something to help their WR corp. Mason always brought a good work ethic and great hands to the field. Maybe he left a bad situation in NY. I do not know and it makes no sense to guess. I do know that Mason's history is good.
I agree.I think HOU just figured a 7th RD pick was worth moving for a guy who could easily be your #2 WR.Agreed.

Ouch.ESPN's Adam Schefter on #Jets trade: "I'm told the main reason they traded Derrick Mason is bc Jeremy Kerley was playing better than him."
