In their quest for Curtis Martin insurance, the Jets have decided to trade for Lee Suggs.
When healthy, Suggs (6-0, 213) was productive for the Browns. He rushed for 186 yards on 26 carries and 2 scores during a win over Cincinnati on Dec. 28, 2003. But he battled numerous injuries during his tenure with the team.
As the article states, Suggs has been great when he’s healthy, but he just hasn’t been able to stay on the field. If Curtis Martin is out of the picture, Suggs is probably the most talented back on the Jets’ roster and he will have the opportunity to fight for playing time.
Fantasy-wise, this move obviously hurts C-Mart’s stock, and is yet another indicator that the team isn’t all that confident that he’ll be able to play this season.
In return, the Jets recieved third-year cornerback Derrick Strait.
