Edwards wasn't that bad this season, he seems to have improved his concentration somewhat. I think there's a chance Holmes wants elite WR money and I doubt the Jets will pay that.
Haven't heard that speculation in any reputable NE media circles. I don't think Braylon and BB would get along very well. We don't need that guy on a NE roster.
Honestly it seemed Holmes had more drops than Edwards this season, but I agree Holmes is the more dynamic WR. I will say though that people do seem to want to downgrade Edwards based on his time in Cleveland, but he's really a much better player than the perception when you watch him week in and week out.Reaper also brings up a great point in that Edwards is a very willing and effective blocker. As some one that has season tickets in the upper deck endzone, I have a unique perspective on just how much he helps on the run game. He's allowed LT and B. Smith to get some big runs to the outside because he takes out the first line of defense (including LBers) with a key block.
That's not really what we saw in NY.
That very well could end up being the best point made in this thread.
Local talk radio guys mentioned it. Nothing substantive.BB has got along with worse malcontents like Corey Dillon and Randy so i don't see that as a reason for it not happening.
No, please god, just no.
Oh god I hope NOT. Braylon makes spectacular catches and drops easy ones. Sanchez consistently serves up hard to catch passes, while Brady usually puts it right in the eggbasket. I wouldn't want to watch a season of Braylon failing up a storm.
Not saying it is my favorite thing...but both TO and Ocho stated on their show, how they would love to play for a guy like Rex. You have to pay for Ocho, while you can get TO for free, so I really see them getting TO as a one year filler and then working on the eventual replacement for Cotchery/Smith. I would love it if they signed both Braylon and Holmes, but if it comes at the cost of a guy like David Harris, I want no part of it.No, please god, just no.
Really? If you could provide a link, I'd like to read about it just to know more about it. (I'm not doubting that you've heard this.)
Sort of how I feel also.
Some of it came out yesterday with the locker room comments when he told reporters to ask Scotty as to why he didn't start. However, Santonio bailed the Jets out in a lot of games. Cleve, Detroit, and the last New England game come to mind. I think if he leaves Sanchez would take a significant step back. I'm not so sure they let him go easily.
"some of it"...... Ok, but, can you guys point to anything relating to "the rest of it"..
Me too - there are a lot of places I'd prefer for Holmes to go, before seeing him re-up with the Jets. I just don't see Sanchez and that offense ever having/making a top echelon receiver...
Your stat averages aren't a very compelling argument to me as your ignoring that he only played 12 games this year and was worked in slowly after his 4 week suspension. Pro-rate out his totals to 16 games and he would have beat the benchmarks you listed despite switching teams. Add in his 3 postseason games and his stat line is 61 for 873 yards & 8 TD's in 15 games.
1) The reason he did not play was a suspension...not a an injury...I don't think that's something that makes a team feel all warm and fuzzy.2) Even if you want to add those stats it really doesn't give his overall numbers too much of a boost.
It's not that Cotch fell out of favor as much as he just has a limited skill set. He's a good possession guy but he lacks true explosiveness. With Braylon and Santonio out there defenses have to account for two very dangerous weapons and it helps open up the running game (and Edwards is a terrific run blocker as well). Defenses don't really respect Cotchery as much. He's a good player and if one of Holmes or Edwards leaves he could step right back into the #2 role and put up 800-900 yds or so.
Hey jacobo... can I ask. What is your issue with franchising him?
Cotchery dropped A LOT of balls this year. He became - especially for him - weirdly unreliable and inconsistent. He got better as the year progressed but when Edwards is catching so many of his targets and Holmes is such a game changer when he makes a catch - Cotch just saw his targets go down.
One more strike and Holmes is out 1 year.
