Jets Add Suggs

Even with Kerry Carter, we have an incredibly deep RB situation. Not just deep, QUALITY depth.

Suggs would be a wasted roster spot. It's bad enough Todd Collins will be on the roster. We could use another CB or LB. Those positions can NEVER have enough backups.

Behind Betts, we don't have a single back capable of carrying the full load while giving us the rush yards we need to be successful. That said, no need to take on another injured RB.

I believe Cartwright could be good, but you do have a point at this time.

However, how many teams other than Denver and MAYBE Chicago have 3 RBs capable of being starters without losing anything from their #1 RB?

Suggs wouldn't give us a third quality RB even if we WERE shopping.
