Turry 755 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Free agent Kellen Winslow will try out for the Jets at their minicamp next week.Winslow, 30 next month, reportedly drew some interest from the Raiders earlier in the offseason, and the veteran also said the Panthers and Browns were poking around on him. The former No. 6 overall pick was on the street for much of 2012. Winslow caught one pass for 12 yards in one game with the Patriots.

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted June 8, 2013 The Jets really hate themselves. Mark Sanchez? Braylon Edwards? Santonio Holmes? LaRon Landry? Tim Tebow? David Garrard? Willie Colon? Geno Smith? Kellen Winslow? It's like they covet the dumbest motherfuckers on Earth. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucman 891 Posted June 9, 2013 Winslow Jr was a pretty good TE for the Bucs for what its worth. I don't know how much he has left in the tank though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted June 9, 2013 Winslow Jr was a pretty good TE for the Bucs for what its worth. I don't know how much he has left in the tank though. He's still better than a lot of TEs on NFL rosters, but NFL teams don't like having veteran backups with an attitude like Winslow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East495 55 Posted June 11, 2013 A try out for the soldier..lol. Well I hope he’s humble and doesn’t act like a jack ass for us, if he shows he can’t tone it down this might be his last tryout for an NFL team. But he is a low risk signing, probably the vet minimum, and if healthy he is an upgrade over what we have. Cuz personally I'm not happy with our TE situation. Also Mike Sims-Walker and defensive lineman Leger Douzable have been invited to try out as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: The Jets will reportedly try to sign free agent TE Kellen Winslow following this week's minicamp.If Winslow's balky knees can hold up for a couple more days, he's going to get an offer. He's impressed during his tryout and is obviously a massive talent upgrade on current starting tight end Jeff Cumberland. The question is if Winslow can sustain health.

BLUE 1,026 Posted June 14, 2013 Per Rotoworld.com: Jets signed TE Kellen Winslow to a one-year contract.30 years old next month, Winslow by all accounts impressed at his tryout at Jets minicamp and couldn't have picked a better landing spot for playing-time opportunities. Current starter Jeff Cumberland is a lumbering, stiff upright tight end and No. 2 TE Hayden Smith is a converted rugby player. There's a real chance Winslow will wind up starting for the Jets, although we wouldn't expect much of a fantasy impact. Purely a possession receiver at this point in his career, Winslow appeared in one game in 2012, catching one pass for 12 yards. He is a shell of the seam-stretcher and vertical threat he once was.

East495 55 Posted June 15, 2013 Yep! Winslow is a Jet. Ironic though that he's willing to sign for the vet minimum after apparently being let go by Seattle last preseason because he wouldn’t take less than the contract that came with him in the trade from the Bucs. Hmm..I guess once you got none of those big checks coming your way, a bit less can look pretty damn good. But considering our TE situation, I do not mind this move one bit. Just hope he stays healthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted June 15, 2013 Solid move by the Jets. Low risk, High reward type of signing. His knees are an issue, but his whole attitude thing is blown way out of proportion. I think he can be a solid TE for the Jets. Probably better than anything they have right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
