Jets Barrett and Barton Join McCareins on Trade Block

I really don't expect us to get much for McCareins.

 

we can get a set of seat warmers.

 

this would be nice, get Revis and a solid LB in rd 2. all those players are expendable- maybe not barton but with barrett hurt and McCareins being a nothing, this can turn into a good move for the Jets.

 

Uh, Sportingnews for the loss. McCareins has virtually no value at the moment because nobody is going to give up a draft pick for a 3rd receiver when they could try to make that pick into a 22 year old receiver in the draft.

No idea where the blurb came from but it has no credibility. I'm sure the Jets would like to trade McCareins and maybe Barrett and Barton but there's no way they find any significant market on draft day unless they package all of them for a 2nd day pick. Even then what would it get the Jets? Reduced depth and an increased chance of the injury boogeyman coming to visit?

 

This is really questionable decision making from the FO. Why the heck would we get rid of Barton and Barrett. They both contribute when they are healthy and if we do trade them we will get s--- on a stick for them. We are much better off keeping them.

 

barrett is the odd man out when we draft a corner anyway...b/c we wont keep 6 cbs

 

Have faith - this is just speculation. The FO hasn't made any decision.

 

You're underestimating the contribution that s--- on a stick can make to the team. A lot of teams historically had something in the locker room to motivate the players. Our motivation can be the s--- on a stick. Don't produce and you will be traded for s--- on a stick. That and the smell will make for a lot of motivation. The only way this could fail is if the sticks start piling up. Then we may have to abandon the project. Just not in the first year, though, because the conversion to the s--- on a stick system takes a few years before we see its true effectiveness.

Anyway, the news to me here isn't so much that Barrett was thrown on the block but that Barton apparently wasn't there already. Hasn't he been getting shopped around for a while now?

 

Only in the summer, definately not the winter.

 

They must really have their eye on somebody.....good luck on getting anything for McCareins

 

How do U know what U posted for sure, sure? Do U work in the NYJs FO?

 

All of these reporters are pretty much doing what everyone here is doing...speculating on what they think will happen.

People here have suggested trading all three of the players named above as well. The sign of a successful FO is the ability to mask what their true intentions are.

Also, remember this mentions something from the Sporting News, and Rich Cimini is normally the correspondent who contributes the Jets' related blurbs to TSN. He has been saying J-Mac will be getting traded all off-season. He seems to mention it at least once a week it seems.

 

Thanks Hydro, that was helpful. While I do belive that McCareins has value I question how much thatwould make for a good trade for the jets. I really would like to get a guard if one is available to help with the running game. Chad is most effective when employing play-action so assisting the running game would be very beneficial.

 

Barrett fell to the very bottom of the CB depth chart last season as reports stated. He is terrible.

They obviously don't see Barton in their plans.

There's no reason to carry two guys with a base salary in excess of $3 million on your team if they won't be starting.

 

Not sure why Barton, who had 100 tackles and 4.5 sacks last year "carries no value".

 

Sounds like yet more pre draft smoke. I wonder if the redskins would like to give us the remaunder of their picks for them , :lol:

 

I think the Jets should trade Clemens. Before everyone goes apeshit about trading away "the future", we have no idea what kind of future he has. He could be a complete bust for all we know. But based on his potential, and still-untested abilities...his value will never be higher than it is now. (Can we even trade him, based on any NFL rules/sanctions re: 2nd year players, etc.).
Really, we're banking on Chad alone in 2007. And if we needed to bench Chad or replace him in '07, is Clemens really going to provide any answer/solution just yet? Again, no one knows. It's 50-50 here how well he'd perform if he was to be baptised by fire. More than likely, we'd still have to sign a FA backup on the fly(Hello Jeff George!), make a trade if the deadline hadn't passed(Hello Vinny!), or talk Drew Bledsoe out of retirement even if it is only to backup Clemens as the #1.
We need a lot more than a QB-of-the-future right now to take us to the next level right away (within the next 2-3 seasons), remaining optimistic that Chad can/will remain healthy, successful, and lead the offense that much longer. Last year i had my doubts like the world about Pennington. This year, I'm a believer!
In 2009 or 10, when Clemens is FINALLY ready to take over...what's the point really? We'd look to an even younger, fresher rookie to fill seats in the new stadium, not a marinated qb with possible atrophy. (I kid in extremes.)
Of course, this is in the all-liklihood that Chad remains the Jets leader 2 or 3 more years. Right? That's what we're thinking in the backs of all of our minds?
We could trade Clemens today and grab what we need more of form the draft...right now. Somone on the DL or OL, a CB, or the TE we apparently and deperately need that the Jets hosted an Olsen visit and mock drafts seem to be immune to Chris Baker. (I happen to like Chris Baker as our end, and I think another year in the jungle will do wonders for #2 Sean Ryan's hands).

Or... trade Clemens for an existing player on another team that fills our needs, outside the draft.
I think we were a running game/running defense away from dominating more of the regular season last year, probably the difference in the Colts, Pats and Bears games at home alone. A higher seed and a different route might've resulted in more than just a 1st round KO in what I considered an open playing field. The Colts are the defending champs, sure...and even with the best player in the game leading them, they're still beatable as far as i'm concerned. Chad's no Peyton, but he's no Hex Grossman either. He's good enough to get us there, hold the ship together, and put the game in the hands of players that can/should win us the ball games (Coles, Cothcery, Jones, Rhodes, Coleman, Vilma, Ellis, etc. etc. etc.)
But it won't be Clemens taking us there, any way you look at it, that's for absolutely positively damn sure. And if we were so close yet so far away, what is nurturing Clemens doing for our chances of getting over the hump in the immediate future? DO NOT INSERT "We're building a dynasty" COMMENT. We're building for ONE CHAMPIONSHIP. One championship is all that we need/can have next year. If we've waited almost 40 years, we can surely wait however long again. 10 years? 15? Maybe 20?
And I say mortgaging Kellen Clemens for that taste of victory in 2007 is worth it.

Just a thought to infuriate people for lunch! I'm bored and it's been a while that I've posted anything "significant" or "meaningful" here.

 

Doc, You really must be bored.
