Kareem Mckenzie -another prodigial son

RussianGreen · 03-25-2012, 07:26 PM

He still is FA, perhaps he also would not mind going home.
On a cheap of course.

P.S. Special note to JI spelling police - you are welcome, losers.

Nice thought, but he's an older version of Hunter at this stage of his career. He's a mediocre run blocker and a terrible pass blocker now. I'd rather go through the draft or give Vlad a go than go that route.

maddbaron · 03-25-2012, 07:30 PM

I'd like him back for depth and maybe an emergency starter plus he could bring a lot of positives to the locker room.

This.

McKenzie was as bad or even possibly worse than Hunter last season. The Jets should have signed Eric Winston when he got cut and then drafted DeCastro to make the OL top notch again.

He had bad moments. One I remember being completely crushed by Seattle DE. But he still better then Hunter and at veteran minimum can be a good backup.

I rather have anyone or even anything than Wayne Hunter.

Don't know him but since most of our Oline depth hasn't played even though they've been around since 2009-10 a veteran on the depth chart, plus a mentor to all these Oline "projects" sounds like a damn good idea to me!

even at his age he is leaps better then Wayne Hunter.

I think we can draft someone better in the third or fourth round. McKenzie was a liability on the Giant's OL last season.

no thanks to signing him

Dreamers · 03-25-2012, 11:08 PM

I'd be OK with it. Obviously he'd be just an insurance policy to get us threw the year.

Not in the 4th round - at least not right now

copernicus · 03-26-2012, 07:43 AM

If I remember correctly Kareem McKenzie had some pretty harsh words when he left the Jets. Talked basically how they are a pathetic organization. Money always seems to win in these type of situations but if integrity means anything to the JETS (lol) they might not sign him on that alone.....

sg3 · 03-26-2012, 08:22 AM

or maybe they might not sign him because he's not that good anymore as anyone who watched Giant games last year could see

This!! He will never be a jet again..

I would offer McNeil a Make Good Contract though..

rextilleon · 03-26-2012, 12:57 PM

typical jet fan--lets get ourselves another 98 year old former Jet. Just amazing.

THE_SOOTHSAYER · 03-26-2012, 10:27 PM

McKenzie is a shadow of his former self but still has some fuel left in the tank. If he could be signed for a veteran minimum FA contract I have no problem brining him in for depth. Woody was not much better than McKenzie when we brought him in a few years ago and we got some decent play for our money.

detjetsfan · 03-26-2012, 10:29 PM

Glenn or Adams in rd 1 please.

No more underwhelming defensive players in rd 1.

If we don't pick a bust like D-Rob or Gholston we get JAG's like Thomas, Wilson and Mo-Wilkes.

ARodFLKeysJetsFan · 03-26-2012, 10:45 PM

:upyours: Kareem McKenzie can rot in the CFL.......F-ck him.
