Word up here is that the Jets don't intend to bring him back next season. As we all know, we could use a weapon on offense. He has some minor injury concerns but when he's out there he's a pretty good player. All of this with Mark Sanchez at QB.
Discuss.

I think he is pretty good

I'd bring him in. Not his fault hes playing with sanchez and shottenimer/sporano offenses.

Absolutely.

Surprising if they do end up letting him go. I thought he was one of sanchez's favorite targets. I'm all for bringing him in.

It's like Michael Egnew being inactive. Never fails.Ophinerated, Boik14, MikeHoncho and 1 other person like this. -

I laughed pretty hard when a guy I know started tweeting about how Inactive Egnew sounds like a children's cautionary tale about a fat kid.

I think ultimately you got to look into the position in the context of Joe Philbin/Mike Sherman's offense. A guy who can't block in-line is going to be split wide.
Dustin Keller is a bad in-line blocker, but he's a better receiver from that position than he is split wide, which I think might be problematic. I don't know if he can play an H-Back position as well as Charles Clay either.
Jared Cook I think is a pretty nice alternative. He's basically a giant slot receiver, he's running nearly 80% of his routes from the slot.
I think it's also possible that Antonio Gates and Jermichael Finley are on the open market or up for trade.gunn34 likes this. -

Egnew I think they want to be like Jermichael Finley, someone who can play more frequently like a wide receiver than a tight end. Dustin Keller I think might be a guy who is best playing in-line, even if he can't block. He's generally better as a receiver in-line, but I think there's a question if his receiving is going to be less efficient and his value lessened if you try to mitigate it as a wide guy.Eop05 likes this. -
But I see two guys with very similar skill sets. And one guy has used those skill sets to become at least serviceable in the NFL with Mark Sanchez at QB.
We'll see. Maybe they are looking for a better in-line blocker though. I'd take Jared Cook over Keller for sure. But I think Keller might be easier to acquire. -
He's playing 60% of his receiving snaps in the slot, and he's got 15 catches for 153 yard, and 1.19 yards per route run.
In-line, he's got 13 catches for 163 yards, and he's got 1.96 yards per route run.
In context, 1.96 overall would be tied for 2nd highest among tight ends, 1.19 tied for 31st.Boik14, Stringer Bell and Eop05 like this. -
This year the Dolphins have very much made a decision to make Anthony Fasano a safety valve. -

The Jets have a terrible offense and they don't want to bring back Keller. Why would the Dolphins have any interest in an often injured TE who the Jets don't want any longer? No, I have absolutely no interest in seeing the Dolphins sign Kellar.

Jared Cook or a Antonio Gates reclamation project would be inspired moves.
I fear Jermichael Finley. -

Yes, they have to worry about him all over the field. Just bc they've used him mostly on shorter stuff lately, doesn't mean he can't run deep routes as well. Like I said, they have Nicks and Cruz, it wouldn't make a ton of sense to throw Bennett deep most of the time.
