Jets Get Their Safety

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:23:57 EDT

One day after missing out on S Reggie Nelson, the New York Jets agreed on a 1-year $4M contract with free agent S LaRon Landry. Landry is a strong safety who's good against the run but struggles in coverage. After three pretty strong years to start his NFL career, Landry missed 15 games in the last two seasons due to various injuries. In 2010 he injured his Achilles tendon against the Eagles and later was placed on the injured reserve. On December 15, 2011, Washington's head coach Mike Shanahan stated that he believed Landry "would’ve been defensive player of the year" for the 2010 season had he not been injured. Landry was placed on the injured reserve in 2011 again due to the same injury.

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:54:49 EDT

The Gang Green's free agency campaign suffered its first setback today, as S Reggie Nelson, whom the Jets had offered a contract, decided to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals. Now the Jets will have to shift their focus to S LaRon Landry, who visited the Gang Green over the weekend as well. Landry, however, might be a gamble as he suffered a season ending Achilles injury last two seasons. Landry is good against the run but struggled in coverage. The Patriots are also reportedly interested in him.

Jets Free Agency: Day 4

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:53:30 EDT

The Jets finally made some moves today, signing two unrestricted free agents - QB Drew Stanton (Detroit) and WR Chaz Schilens (Oakland). Stanton will serve as Mark Sanchez's backup with pretty much no chance of ever winning the starting job, while Schilens, who's had injury problems, could be a sleeper. Both players were signed to 1-year contracts.
