And Joel.

Did he get hurt a lot on the jets?

He played the first 9 games and went on IR the last 7, I believe

With an injury to the same knee that put him on IR in 2013 and 2015. I'd say his best chance to remain in the NFL would be a move to RT, but he just might be done and out of the league. Keep going on IR and teams will stop taking your agent's phone calls. He made around $40M since signing that big contract in 2013 and managed to play 2 games in 2013, 16 games in 2014 in which he was very mediocre, no games in 2015 and 9 games in 2016 for the Jets. So, he's played 28 games out of 64 the last 4 years.

Done and done son.

Actually, what I recall seeing online was that a torn rotator cuff is what sidelined him in NY. So I guess the good news is that his latest injury wasn't to the same leg as the other three. But a LT who can't use his left foot to match the first step of the NFLs best pass rushers is pretty much useless. And he wouldn't be much better at RT; it's not like the top pass rushers are REQUIRED to line up on the left, and frequently come from anywhere and everywhere out of a 3-4.

If Clady wants to try salvaging his career as a pure power run blocker, his best bet would probably be moving inside; even that may be a stretch with a bum shoulder.

He can still be a backup. I also think it would behoove him to learn how to play some guard. There is a place in the league for savy guys who can do spot-duty.

His feet and his hands were his biggest assets. I'm not sure what he brings if he doesn't have sweet feet anymore

I think my questions is if he is better than what the Broncos have now at RT. If so, then maybe. But yeah he is clearly damaged goods. At a minimal salary? Maybe.

That might be a tough pill for him to swallow, would he be willing to go from being one of the two or three best left tacos in all of football to being a right tackle? He has made a lot of money in his career, he might just want to hang it up.

Well, I just saw the typo. I'm not changing it though.

The best taco is al pastor or camarones empanizados with lime and habanero.

I love authentic Mexican food. Once someone on my crew give me a simple chili wrapped ina tortilla and it was un****imgbelievable.

Most authentic Mexican food tastes worse than Taco Bell.

To be fair tho Taco Bell isn't just for 3:00 am anymore, they're culinary geniuses.

I'm just dicking around.

Hey Jaded, I'm bummed out man.
