Trade Jenkins?

I’m not sure what the Jets gave up for him. I think it was a 3rd rounder but do you honestly think the Raiders would trade Asomugha straight up for Jenkins? If a crazed Al Davis wouldn’t do that. To move up to the first pick overall to draft Suh would require this year’s first plus next year’s first round pick just to get them to listen. When Jenkins is healthy(which has been very little the past 2 seasons)he is probably the best NT in the game. But what worries not only our GM but other GM’s is his weight. He has always had a problem maintaining his weight and that is why he is so injury prone. So no way you would get anything higher than a 4th rounder for Jenkins.

All over the fan blogs there is a positive ton of discussion about trades. i think people are way too influenced by baseball, and possibly by Madden as well. However, in fact trades are not so easy to pull off, and I think in a lot of cases they’re people’s pipe dreams – managing to pull off some sort of steal, unload expendable players and pick up a sensation. Not so realistic.
As for Kris, he’s coming off practically an entire season of inactivity. Who knows what condition he’ll be in at training camp time. That means a lot of people will see him as an uncertain quantity, which means the likelihood of somebody giving up a top-notch player for him is not so high. The front offices are not as stupid as we fans make them out to be.

I don’t really agree with the thinking that because the Jets’ defense played well without Jenkins, it’s a good idea to trade him. He’s one of the top two players on the unit. With him in there, the defense will be even tougher.

i agree with john b our defense would be even better with kris

best nose tackle in the NFL.

unless, a great deal comes….

nmandi is not coming to ny. crazy Al will never let that happen.
end of that discussion.
and did you see what had been happening in the rush to us all year long?
not a horrible D. but to say KJ is expendable is an irresponsible statement.
he is older, and we got him for a steal, and no one will give us what you guys are talking about for him. it has already been mentioned that the New GMs/Czar’s that teams are bringing in are designed to prevent exactly some of the outrageous trades you’re all talking about/have happened in the past several years. I would also recommend and prefer that we have a deep draft this year, with our assigned picks. i am glas we got shonn and mark last year, but we need a 7-9 player draft badly. i would say if anything trade out of the 1st round into the second and 3rd to get some of the amazing talent that is being predicted to fall into those repective brackets. couple that with some responsible use of what should be an interesting free agency, and we’ll have the same amazing team, with an incredible tune-up. the idea of trading to the high first round again, or trading conerstones like KJ, is just ludicrous. there’s nothing about this team that i saw last year that indicates we should make any stride towards wholesale changes. as bad as everyone wants the “pipe dream deal” we need to be intelligible.

Go JETS!!!

I’d take Jenkins at either Tackle or End over most any day.

I’m not sure the teeth you’d be taking out of the defensive line is anywhere near worth whatever player or compensation you’d get. Although it’s always great to come out ahead before a player gets too old.

How about golston? Davis would love him. I think that Jenkins, Golston and Strickland could be enough to land Asomugha. By the way his salary would not be too high, with Golston’s gone we can afford him not to mention that Ellis could possibly be cut and/or renegotiated. There is another possibility coming up and that is if Adalius Thomas comes to the Jets. We could build from there and it would definetly allow us to push Ellis out. The team was great but we need to think about the future also and the the D line is our greatest need right now. We need a line that can push into the pocket to make the blitzes more effective, Ellis, Pouha and company cant do it.

Keeps them both fresh and keeps the pressure on the opposing running game even more. Trading him would be stupid IMO. You’re not getting a top 5 draft pick nor the CB from OAK. Keep the dude and have sick line depth.
