Jets should sign Karlos Williams

[SackExchange]

The problem with that is, if you wait until he gets into shape and proves he can stay clean, you won't be the only team that wants to sign him. There's a distinct possibility that some other team beats you to the punch. NOW is the time to sign him, strike while the iron is not, and then, if it doesn't workout, you can cut him at minimal cost.

As Lou said, its low risk, high reward.

Oh, I know. You have to take a chance. He is the exact reason for low-base contracts with incentives.

Rex tried to stick it to us last year when he signed IK, but that was never gonna comeback to haunt us because he's a marginal talent at best. THIS, on the other hand, could really comeback to haunt Rex if this kid learned his lesson and gets into shape. This is the kind of player you really lament losing if he gets his act together.

well said hammer.. i'm not a fan of bringing in dopes but at his age & price, the potential reward is far greater than the risk..

Right now Bilial Powell is the only legitimate NFL RB we have who is healthy, and Forte is not a young man, there's no guarantee he will stay healthy all year. We're messing around with guys like Romar Morris, Terry Williams and Lache Seastrunk, meantime we have a 6' 1"/230 Pound beast who runs in the 4.4's, averaged 5.6 yards per carry last year, and tied an NFL record for TD's in his first six games ... who wants to be here.

Granted there are serious concerns, thats why he's on the street, but the talent is immense and we have a need for another legit NFL Back. It could turn into a Godsend for us that this kid messed up in Buffalo, if we're smart enough and fast enough to take a chance.

jets also have khiry robinson, who i think may be a little underrated by some here.

and williams is not a 6'1/230 beast right now. he is a 6'1/260 slob who is vastly out of shape and in the league's drug program. he apparently gained weight in the off-season because he decided to snack along with his pregnant fiance and not take his job seriously.

Khiry Robinson is not being overlooked if/when he is healthy to compete, then maybe we have our third back but when he does come back will he be mental prepared to work or will that hold him back some more?

Jets are doing their due diligence, yes Karlos Williams gained weight (20 pounds) during his gf's pregnancy but it is said he is getting back into football shape now... This kid has upside and if he continues getting back into game shape then he could be a solid rotational player along with Powell & Forte...

Who said we won't carry 4 RBs? We may not carry a FB so there would be a spot for an additional RB...

I feel like the Buffalo Bills have done it again, 1st with Marshawn Lynch and now with this guy.

This kid has vision, power and speed. He catches out of the back field and would compliment our back field wonderfully.
