ugh, PFT lowest rated pass blocking OG and bottom 3 rated run blocking OG is back! SMH

Looks like Winters, Dozier, and Absoushi are fighting for 2 spots...

meh....at least it's a vet min deal and he's not guaranteed to make the team. prefer they move on and go with youth.

One year, veterans' minimum, according to Kimberly Martin's twitter.

Interesting, a chance to compete for the RG position I guess. Cheap deal - more competition. Certainly hope one of our young guys takes the spot. Or a rookie draft pick.

Not thrilled with this move.
We need to start getting younger on the O-line, not older.

he's got the right attitude you want on the o-line. Nasty. his play has diminished but hard to argue with vet minimum and the depth

I think the team will be happy to eat the min salary if he gets beat out. Good insurance.


generally speaking, contracts are only guaranteed if a veteran player makes the roster day 1. so if he's beaten out in camp (hopefully the case) and doesn't make the team, he wouldn't even get the money (and no cap hit for jets).

given he's gotten a veteran min contract, i can't see any of it being guaranteed

Dennis Waszak Jr. ✔ @DWAZ73
Current #Jets guards: Oday Aboushi, James Carpenter, Willie Colon, Dakota Dozier, Wesley Johnson, Brian Winters

Good move by Jets to bring back Colon. Evidently, team not sold on Aboushi/Winters battling for 1 guard spot. Carpenter will be other guard.

So far Jets bring in 2 OGs, 2 maybe 3 CBs, they are bring in safeties left and right, trade for Fitzpatrick, and add Marshall...ie Mac doesnt trust a single player Idzik drafted to add to the roster...

I agree with Nick and MV.......good depth signing IF he makes the squad. Puts a fire under his butt and maybe slows down the penaliy machine a bit....

Actual not too bad as a psss blocker. The 12th best for guards by PFF (1 sack allowed) but one of the worst run blockers and committing penalties.

Still not bad for league min. I'm not coming into the season too high on the Oline. They are average with one great player. They might be a little better than last year with Carpenter but not at the level they need to be. We will need to draft a tackle badly. Maybe DJ Humphries will make it to the second round.

Its for the vet minimum so that's a plus (I didn't see that initially).
The guy has a lot of personality which is good for team morale.
Team could use a morale boost after last season.

Maybe he'll fit in with Gailey's blocking schemes better than Morninweg's?

I just saw that also. You're right.

Colon earned a pass-block grade from Pro Football Focus (6.9) that ranked 12th in the NFL in 2014.

But Colon's run-block grade (minus-16.3) was one of the worst in the league, per PFF. And he was flagged 12 times for penalties—tied for fourth worst in the league, per NFLpenalties.com—including seven pre-snap infractions.
