Jets inform Trumaine Johnson he'll be released

The Jets are in the market for a free agent addition at cornerback and part of the reason for that is how poorly things worked out with the last big-ticket player they brought in at the position.

Another in a long list of players some said we made a catastrophic error in letting go.

At least he got his money... it's not his fault the Jets offered him that contract. He did make some plays for them.

I don't recall anyone saying that was a mistake. The second the Jets signed him we all knew it was too much.

I said it was a mistake to keep him over Janoris back when we chose to franchise him - and that was true - although it also would have been a mistake to sign Janoris long term.

Tru had injury issues with the Rams and they continued with the Jets. He made some good even great plays with the Rams. I thought Jenkins was more durable. Sometimes I think Tru hit too hard that he injured himself. Here you can see some of his playmaking abilities.

Some players burn out. They play for that second contract and then mail it in. Tru played well for the Rams and was more disciplined than Jenkins. In the end evaluating character really matters when drafting. Snead and Fisher made it a habit of completely overlooking character for physical talent. I've never been a big proponents of that philosophy.

It happens with most every player we don’t resign and has for a very long time. Some players the groaning is louder but yes it was there.
 
Tru was good for a big corner but a lot of us forget that he used to have to play like 7 yards off coverage to not get beat.

I think it is more WTF Snisher did by not making a decision on either JJ or Tru . Yes The Rams end up getting comp picks,but they also should have been in the playoffs a bunch of times. Snisher will never be off the hook for that .
McSnead resigned Tru to a SECOND FRANCHISE TAG!!! Freaking Crazy

All said McSnead got lucky with Peters & Talib. The depth right now with Williams,Hill,& Long is nice. Still a Huge cost for RAMsey. Still not signed so unsure of the direction The Rams go for cap space.
I yelled at Tru against the Chargers at UCI. Just sat down with a coke of all things. Would have had the whole fight on video. Got part of it,but Tru was a puck.
Mcvay at there new LA site Mcvay gave him a big hug,because he wanted him to be the leader.I give Mcvay credit for handling players well. Last season he had overload & was not as good as a HC. He says it & made corrections, but then again it’s water under the bridge.
RAMsey is the guy,but what price ?? Is he a franchise tag guy 2 times ?? That would be a huge cost. Tru was not cheap or all that. The Jets found that out.
Bell or Gurley ???

Had good hands & came up with a
Leading seasons in INts on his contract year.
 
Tru was better than JJ. Hands down. JJ plays best in a Marcus Peters role. Was never good in man to man against taller receivers.
