Ryan claimed circumstances got in the way. Gholston went from 4-3 defensive end at Ohio State to 3-4 outside linebacker with the Jets under previous head coach Eric Mangini to 3-4 defensive end last year under Ryan.

The Jets also added Trevor Pryce during the season, an acquisition Ryan said hurt Gholston's snap count.

Were not in great need of a defensive end. But, if you can get a guy who had such great potential I'd be intrested in atleast a one year contract. Maybe he is a better player in the 4-3 like he was in ohio state. I think he's deserving of a look maybe the practice squad?

Put potential in one hand and poo in the other and see which one fills up first.

[Brokenbad]

Absolutely!

As a janitor, right?

[micnificent28]

Maybe it was the jets, or maybe being in the 3-4. I believe he is atleast worth exploring the possiblity.

This is the kind of stuff I don't get about you guys! Why must we always want another mans trash?

[jtnc]

Isn't he a bust?

[SorthNarolina]

We made lewis and brayton into respectable players instead of dissapointments. It was with different coaching staffs and they also were not busts on the level of gholston though.

With little to no financial risk why not?

He was always better suited to be a 4-3 DE. I would be shocked if Atlanta didn't make a run at him. Similar build to Abraham, and he isn't getting any younger.

Hurney loves the bargain bin..I'm sure we will look at all of the castaways when we are able to..

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

Can he play QB?

[HeatCheck]

No Sack Gholston

[Ohio]

He's a 4-3 defensive end, period. They tried to make him something he's not.

[Grammer]

bahahaha

you guys seriously want a guy who has 0 sacks in his career? he is literally the biggest DE bust ever

Exactly. There is a lot of difference. He did not become a terrible football player in 2 years.

Make jokes all you want (others on this thread), but the system has everything to do with him. We could use an End--if we re-sign CJ, we still need a fourth DE (assuming you do not like Brayton there, and I have a feeling RIvera will want more pass rush).

He would cost next to nothing. All 53 players on your team are not superstars. Gholston would come here with NO expectations and back at his natural position. It would be smart.
