Logan Ryan could be heading back to the AFC East. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that the Jets have discussed making a run at the veteran cornerback. The Jets would need to “free up money” in order to pursue the 29-year-old.
We heard earlier this offseason that Ryan was hoping to earn at least $10MM in 2020. As Mehta notes, the Jets are currently sitting with around $10MM in cap space, although they’ll open up an additional $11MM in cash after June 1st thanks to the Trumaine Johnson designation. While the financials would obviously work (especially if Ryan is willing to lower his demands), “Gang Green’s relatively stringent budget would have to be loosened,” according to the reporter.
The versatile defensive back would be a logical fit for Gregg Williams‘ defense. Ryan had one of his most productive seasons in 2019, setting career-highs in tackles (113), passes defended (18), sacks (4.5), and forced fumbles (four). Even if the veteran does eventually transition to safety, Mehta is of the opinion that he’s “the kind of player that Williams covets.”
After winning a pair of Super Bowls during his four seasons in New England, Ryan signed a three-year, $30MM deal with the Titans back in 2017. He’s started each of his 45 regular season games with Tennessee, and there were rumblings earlier this month that he could end up landing back with the Titans.
Gang Green. Get him!!
If the Jets can afford him, the Vikings should be in the mix as well.
It’s also good to bring a Rutgers guy back to the state. If Bless Austin reaches his potential, they could have Scarlet Knight CBs on both sides.
CB seems to be the odd position out when it comes to draft plans for the Jets. This makes a ton of sense to do. That being said, it’s the Jets (this from a lifelong fan)
No, don’t like Logan. There’s way too many CB’S available in the draft. We need OT,WR then Edge and CB first. Round 1 OT Jedrick Will’s, Andrew Thomas or Tristan Wirfs. If they aren’t there the go WR Jerry Jeudy, Cee Dee Lamb or Henry Ruggs III. If we trade down in 1, there isn’t a higher grade of OT 90 or above. Trade Down only for WR Brandon Aiyuk or WR Jaylen Reagar.
Round 2 if we get WR we take OT Isaiah Wilson grade 85. The next closest OL worthy of 2nd round grades are C Cesar Ruiz 89, C Lloyd Cushenberry lll 85, OT Josh Jones 88. After that grade in 2 are WR Michael Pittman JR 86, Brandon Aiyuk 86, Jaylen Reagar 86. Those are the choices in round’s 1-2 unless you go CB. CB Kristen Fulton 86, Jeff Gladney 89 or Trevon Diggs 86. That’s where we are at, CB Noah Igbinoghene 85
is good.
Round 3
CB Cameron Dantzler 82, Michael Pittman JR 86 may be available, CB Jaylon Johnson 88 as well. So my mock would be:
OT Andrew Thomas 91 in 1.
WR Brandon Aiyuk 86 in 2.
Edge Julian Okwara 80 and WR Bryan Edwards 73 or John Hightower 68 in 3.
CB Amik Roberson 70 in 4.
G Kevin Dotson 69, OT Matt Peart 68, G Damien Lewis 76, OT Ben Bartch 72 should be available in round’s 5, but should be pushed up because lack of quality Olinemen.
Derrek Tuszka 58, OT Evin Ksiezarczyk 45 may be looked at along with Edge Tipa Galeai 59. I love Tuszka here, and OT Evin Ksiezarczyk 45 also. CB Lug Barcoo 50 maybe here, if CB Kindle Vildor 64 is here you jump on him. WR Quez Watkins 61 is also an option. DT Larrell Murchison 62 I would definitely take here. Please don’t sleep on WR James Proche 68
And by Monday all those rankings and thoughts will be hanged and come the draft all of that goes out the window after the first trade by another team which ruins the balance of the draft predicted by anyone prior to the actual draft.
This is hilarious. Raiders took Ferrell over a way higher “graded” Allen just last year. And the Seahawks always draft someone in the first that’s “graded” so low they get poor post draft “grades”. Grading prospects and draft classes until 4 years after the draft is asinine. My bet is one of these dudes who r “graded” high fall into the late second because of something dude that’s r paid 100k+ by nfl teams to scout dudes found that they don’t like. And it elevates other guys that may not b “graded” well. But thanks for the 6 paragraph scouting report on there madden rankings. Smh
Trust in Joe!!!
