Fins Interested in Leon Washington
31 replies
Finatic8480New MemberOPThe New York Jets put a second-round tender on restricted free agent running back Leon Washington, the former Jackson High star still rehabbing from a broken leg. It's clear that Washington's services are in demand. He has fielded calls from the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots, who happen to have three second-round picks. No matter what happens, Washington might have the leverage to finally get a decent contract. ...

Zach Thomas: I played against New England twice a year every year my whole career. I learned to not like that team. I wasn't going to join them.
Using a second round pick would be a huge mistake, this draft is
to deep, not to mention defense is the number one priority
It's Sunday Morning, Where the Phins at?
JajNew MemberIt's the pick and nothing else that makes me wonder about Leon Washington. Otherwise I'm extremely interested. It may be a situation of waiting to see what he gets tendered with next year and telling him we have interest.
Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.
Rhody Phins Fanforum_veteranI can't imagine that Miami or the Patriots would give the Jets a second rounder for Washington. I guess they could just be trying to provide Washington with a little leverage in negotiations.
Roman529New MemberI just think our picks are too valuable to take any chances on guys who may be a question mark or coming off of an injury. I would never want to give a pick to the Jets and then they use that pick every year to kill us.
He has fielded calls according to whom? This is the time of year for agent misinformation...
Out of all the players out there with a second round tender on them I doubt we would take the one that is a situational tender.

it dont make sense, why not use the pick and draft a rb better than washington. if they are looking for a back.

ClipseNew MemberNot sure of the validity of this but Washington is a playmaker. He's the best player on the Jets offense behind Mangold. I know of plenty of Jets fans who would be pissed to see Washington go. I can't imagine they would be too happy with him going to the us...

Maybe because we have a used to be hated rival in chad ...and not to mention the fact that leon is a home run hitter and a fsu alum
NaboCaneNew MemberI'd rather pick up LaGarrette Blount in the 2nd or 3rd than give a 2nd for Washington.
JajNew MemberJustin Fargas as a two year third-string RB would be an excellent choice. He's averaged about 4 YPC behind that piece of **** line in Oakland for years.

I don't think I'd give up a 2nd for him, unless they feel that Cobbs isn't what they want. Cobbs seem to show pretty well to me, but the injury may have been worse than we thought or they just may not be happy with him...if so, that would be the only reason I see them going after Washington. However, he does fill the return positions that we have weaknesses at, whether or not he competes with snaps with Cobbs...
OnehondosubscriberI don't know, a lot of things could come into play with a move like that. If they feel that LW and the other running backs could do the job and they feel confident RB could be moved for a 1st then that would more than make up for the second we would use on Washington. With two No#1s we could pick up two premium players in this draft.
CashInFistforum_veteranNo way Leon Washington is worth a 2nd round pick after that injury he suffered. If we can't get a 1st round pick for Ronnie Brown then no way in hell Leon Washington is worth a 2nd.

I don't view them as being all that valuable, that said, the #43 for a rehabbing Leon Washington?
Pass..pass...pass...
This has to be a smoke screen, this would be insane if it went down.

I think what he is trying to say is that if we show interest and the Pats and a few other teams that when it comes time for the Jets to negotiate his contract it gives him more power to ask for more money which either forces the Jets to spend more than they want to spend or let a pretty good player go.
I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones.

MikeHonchosubscriberUgh, if he weren't a Jet. If they do get him, they'd better make sure they properly delouse the guy.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
surferosaNew MemberJust because were interested in LW doesnt mean we have to part with a 2nd rounder. The Jets dont want to pay him and would trade him for less - maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Problem is, I dont think the Dolphins would want to pay him either.
didnt the jets try to use him for the wildcat?
thats the only things that makes me think there is anything to this. him and ronnie in the wildcat at the same time
Frumundah FinnaticNew MemberWhat? Not for that pricetag.
