newsbroker Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 He's out there. What is he, like 6'5 340 or something like that? I'd feel more comfortable if they could pick him up and give them more options inside. He can still do a job inside (like a Ted Washington can).

China Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Are you kidding, he's ancient (34 and will be 35 at the beginning of the season). We've had enough has beens at the end of their careers. There's a reason nobody has picked him up. I say pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMagicJuan Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 ahhh Ted Washington was 36 this past SUPERBOWL....so i mean...what does the age have to matter anymore, i see age as another number, theres always pro's and con's to age, but as you can see, ted was having fun and proving he was the perfect pick up for the pats...with gibbs, i dont see why nobody can succeed under him....!!

Skins26 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I remember the Jets signed him to a 1 year deal shortly before last season, and he had a few good plays against us in that first game. He's a big body, he may be old but for a small contract its worth bringing a guy that big in. If you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Vet Min.....incentives....I would sign him. Look, even as a backup....he could rotate in. Right now we need DL with experience and the ability if in shape to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 it depends on the intent. I mean if he is signed to be a role player, and help with the rotation, then it is worth it, however he is NOT the guy to sign because the coaching staff things we need a stud to improve our line in the starting rotation.

DTs who haven't played in a while are notorious for not staying in shape. The last thing we need is some overweight, out-of-shape, old guy eating up some of our cap space.

First of all, McGlockton wouldnt get much money. Yes, he would have to be in shape, which was a concern with the Jets as I recall but not because of him as much as it was they signed him so late in the offseason. They need that big body, someone that running backs run into when they are running dive plays. McGlockton can serve as that big body in the middle of the line on run downs.

Canadian Hog Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 In all fairness to McGlockton, with the exception of '92 (6 games), '98 (6 games) and '00 (1 game) he's proven to be a pretty injury-free guy. He's played in all 16 games in 9 of 12 seasons. He's missed only one game in the last 5 seasons as well. So in terms of durability I don't think we'd have to be too concerned about him, even though he's entering his 13th year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowtrain Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 McGlockton is expected to formally announce his retirement. In any event, he was essentially a nonfactor last season. He did make a couple of plays over the course of the season, but they were few and far between. In general, I'm a fan of the overweight, oversized blob that can clog up lanes, create havoc and occupy double-teams just by falling on his fat ass at the line of scrimmage. But in Chester's case, he's past the point in his career where he's willing to put in the minimum conditioning necessary to be an adequate disruptive fatbody. The fact that he was actually coaxed out of retirement last season when he was considering opening his own fried chicken restaurant (yes it's true) was certainly a red flag. Signing him for a year was a no-risk proposition that didn't really help or hurt either way. But he's now one year older and one year closer toward unveiling his own brand of tasty, savory, crispy poultry. Seeing him in a Skins uniform isn't likely and seeing him in a Skins uniform actually making any sort of meaningful contribution is even less probable.

Why should we pay him if he can't produce? Because we need depth, he's big, and if he's cheap, why not. The Jets had one of the best defensive lines in the league last year, I'm guessing he didn't get much playing time. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 McGlockton is no Ted Washington. Washington at 35 is still an active presence against the run inside and has contributed to winning a Super Bowl. McGlockton is a guy who has hung around largely because of the lack of talent in the NFL with 30 plus teams hunting for decent players of any stripe.
