Jets claim Lucky Whitehead off waivers after Cowboys parted ways with WR

The Jets have been seeking to improve their kick return situation this offseason. Whitehead had returned kickoffs and punts for the Cowboys in each of his two seasons with the team.

I think that's a good team for him. While I think the Cowboys will find a better option than he was for the Cowboys, I still think he's a good player who deserves and will earn a spot on another team.

Yep.

The Jets? Guy can't catch a break. Then again, the only play he knew how to run was the Jet Sweep.

This is probably better for him. They don't have even a #1 or #2 WR there. Given he's a vet, he might be their #2 and put up some decent numbers for them if he works out. Way more production than he could have had as our #5.

Who?



Happy he found another job but even happier his old roster spot is now upgraded.

Here's wishing Lucky the best of luck.

Maybe he will take some advice and stay off of social media. Dude can't wait to post every stupid detail of what's going on with him. Guaranteed that factored into his release.

Typical Jets move

True! And since its looking like the jets are in a rebuilding phase,he's got an excellent opportunity to cut a wide swath with that organization and become a valued player to the league

Work out for Abram Elam who latched on to some bad teams after being cut here and had some decent seasons. Unfortunately for him, he he was never able to parlay that into a big payday

 

[JoeKing]

Did the Jet's not do their due diligence before claiming this guy? He is what he is on and off the field and that ain't changing just because he changed teams. He's a ticking time bomb but hey, better he be on that roster when he explodes.

Hopefully this is where his misnomer handle really comes into play,,,huh?

 

[Ranched]

I liked Rodney. He always ran hard and was a go getter. I'm not happy with the Cowboys releasing him, especially what they released him for. NOTHING

 

[Denim Chicken]

Him and Clay are probably going to be talking all kinds of ish...
