The Jets might want to add to their backfield, without using a draft pick there.

According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, the Jets “have inquired” about displaced Rams running back Zac Stacy, though they haven’t made a formal offer at this point.

The Jets could use some depth, though they signed Stevan Ridley after getting rid of Chris Johnson. Chris Ivory’s a good-not-great starter, so they could stand another dependable body there.

And the Rams could certainly do without him. Even though Stacy rushed for 973 yards as a rookie in 2013, they’ve followed up by taking Tre Mason and Todd Gurley the following two drafts.

Stacy realized the writing was on the wall, tweeting “Yikes” and then deleting it when the Rams took Gurley 10th overall, and then asking for a deal.

Give them Buster Skrine.

Give them Buster Skrine.

Give them a 7th or both our 7th's this year.

 

[jets82]

No way we give up Skrine. Give them both 7th rounds picks or Coples straight up. Actually, maybe not Coples.

 

[Green Jets & Ham]

How bout giving them Dee Milliner for Stacy and their 7th RD Pick?

They needed a CB and they haven't been able to draft one they like in this draft.

jets get stacy for a 7th per schefter

Adam Schefter
Rams RB Zac Stacy traded to Hets for pick 224, per source.

 

[Football51]

He's signed through 2016. Our only RB under contract beyond this season.

I just don't get it. It's good value because he will be better than anyone we'd pick with the seventh round pick but what about Powell?

I think they need to give this kid a chance. He does it all. Ivory also is a beast and should not lose playing time imo

In the end, we traded our 5th for Marshall and Stacy

Pretty good 7th round pick

Macc finishes up potentially the best NY Jet draft in franchise history with another great value play

you need 4 RBs. ridley is coming off an ACL. and ivory, ridley and powell are all FAs after this year

competition is the name of the game

Everybody competes. If Powell proves his worth then he stays. This is already the best HC we have had since Parcells.

 

[Green Jets & Ham]

Wholly Smoke, how did we get this guy for just a 7th RD Pick?

That can't be right, can it?

There has to be future considerations attached to this trade, no?

 

[Football51]

Now that's getting bang for your buck.

The pick the Jets traded for Stacy was acquired in the Bradon Marshall trade. So they turned a 5th-round pick into Marshall and Stacy. #nyj

 

[TebowCan'tThrow]

I think he has had some concussion issues.

That would have been an awful trade.

Stacy's 2013 stats are very good. The kid can play. And for a 7th round pick. I just read a Rams fan's reaction online, and he said we stole him.

yeah, i thought the same thing. i meant to post that in here, but by accident i started a diff thread. can merge here

what a capper of a draft for macc.

 

[Green Jets & Ham]

That would have been an awful trade.

Obviously now!

I can't believe what we got him for ... stunning.

Milliner still has a shot and has talent.
