I don't understand what they're doing here. If the guy is unhappy and likely to cause lockerroom issues and you've already tried to trade him and found no takers, just cut him already. It's the best thing for both parties.

I'd still give our 6th for their 7th next year and Pryor.  Considering they'll be picking at the beginning of every round and us at the end, he'd be a cheap one year tryout in that scenario.  Then we can either extend him or let him go and work for us in the comp formula.

I feel like the Jets are hoping someone will offer something for him in a trade, but that obviously isn't going to happen now that the draft has passed. It does seem like he will get released, and I agree I don't see anything to be gained by prolonging the inevitable.

 

Doubt the Panthers bring anyone in until after training camp starts. Seems like they really want to give Marlowe and Blechen a chance to prove themselves before we look at anyone else.

If he doesn't want to be a back up for the Jets why would he come here to be a back up?

You're right, we should have taken Adams at 8.  Oh wait...

The reasons are many.  Who's to say he'd be a backup?  Golden opportunity to at a minimum stake a claim for 2018 and beyond.  He'd be out of New York, back in the south, with the best front 7 in football in front of him, and on a Super Bowl contender.

I just dont see him as the type to come here, sit behind someone for a season, and then hope to start next season. And I do not think he fits in with our locker room. He is seen as an underacheiver, and is said to have a bad attitude.

Maybe because one of our starting safeties is damn near old enough to collect social security and might break a hip in training camp?

Exaggeration doesn't help the argument.

Matt Kalil was an underachiever too. This regime liked Pryor before the 2014 draft.

Maybe underacheiver was not the right word. Jets fans are basically saying good riddance. Liking someone prior to the draft does not mean that you still like them after they suck.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
