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.

I was definitely looking forward to seeing him walk, not sure why the team would want him back. He is ineffective and is constantly running his mouth.

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.

Maybe the Jets will be passing way more because Carpenter sucks at run blocking as well. Hope they draft someone or get somebody else after cuts.

Not a bad keep on the cheap for vet depth, but we need one of these young guys (Aboushi, Winters, Dozier) to step up.

Colon is being resigned to compete, and hopefully set a fire under the a$$es of Winters and Aboushi. Winters was actually horrible when he was playing. He was better than Vlad Ducasse, but that isn't saying anything. I thought Aboushi played best, but I still like the idea of the Jets getting Colon involved in that competition.

The Guard play has been terrible since Faneca was cut and later Moore was cut. I think the tackles are just fine, if we could just get decent Guard play.

First move by Macc im questioning. Oh well. He knows more than I do.

veteran's minimum with (assumedly) no guaranteed money. not even guaranteed to make the roster. kind of like the small bonuses paid to pace and babin, although in this case, zero negative cap consequences if he doesn't make the team

My biggest issue with Willie are the penalties. Pre-snap and temper related penalties. If he can clean that stuff up, I'm content with him as a player.

yep the guy is a penality waiting to happen... hopefully Todd will kick his ass and get him straight.

I like old Willie being a born & raised Brooklyn guy; however, I can't see him making next years 53. Coach Bowles does not tolerate mistakes or penalties. He might end up in Buffalo with Rex who loves "bullies" !

Go Jets...Cyborg

I wish there was a way we could just pre-pay for all Willie Colon's penalty yardage.

Maybe we could get a volume discount if we took all the yards at once.

We could go to the league and just say, "Look, we know Willie's going to generate 200 penalty yards this season, how about if we just give you 180 yards right now and make it easier on your referees?"

It's a win-win proposition.
