It almost seems like we're gonna dangle him as trade bait. He was like the 4th WR (soon to be 5th once Smith returns) and played 3 totals plays yesterday. What gives? He's always been one of my favorite Jets but it's clear the coaching staff isn't fond of him.

Gailey has always used a big body WR in the slot. In Buffalo he used David Nelson, 6'5" 220 lbs. He likes bigger bodies that can block. Also Gailey like to use his WR's interchangeably. Some plays he'll move Nelson or Marshall into the slow which means the slot WR has to go outside. Owusu is a better fit on the outside then what Kerley can do. Owusu is faster and bigger. Kerley is reliable and I've always like him but he doesn't fit what Gailey wants to do at the WR position.

Would be nice to get a 4th if they do trade him. His original draft slot, a 5th rounder, might be more realistic. Personally, I'd keep him rather than give him away that cheaply. |

Carolina could desperately use some WR's, that's for sure.

He's always been one of my favorite Jets but it's clear the coaching staff isn't fond of him. owusu and enunwa. the jets apparently want bigger guys going over the middle. kerley is a nice guy to have on the bench though and he can field punts not to mention be a part time qb. |

Carolina could desperately use some WR's, that's for sure. Very true. And Kerley could have a long-term future with that team, since they're huge on the outside (when Benjamin returns next year) and also have Olsen. A guy like Kerley gives them a nice dimension this year and beyond. Kerley for a 6th Kerley for Ed Dickson and a 7th Kerley for Ed Dickson I'd probably take either of the three, knowing that Kerley might actually be the 6th(!) receiver on this team (Enunwa may be higher up than him). Kerley's a way better player than Dickson, but it seems clear he doesn't have a future here and Dickson would be the best blocking TE this team has had in years. |

Kerley has next to zero trade value. Having him as a depth piece is better value than the 6th or 7th round pick he'd fetch in return

What does his contract look like? Any guaranteed $$$ after this year? I think he has $1.8 million guaranteed after this season, but right now, his base for 2015 of $2 million is also guaranteed. From Spotrac.com:  |

Kerley will be cut after we can't trade him, then catch 120 balls in New England next year.

I just think Kerley really isn't what their looking for at WR and they kept him to be a PR(because he's better depth at WR then Powell) He's prob a goner after this season..... |
