That's why they did the original deal with Cleveland for Suggs. The earliest you'll see Martin this year is halfway through the season.

This is a good acquisition by the Jets and I think it's somewhat safe to say that they'll get at least one win this year. The only way I can see them getting two wins is if one of the teams on their schedule decides to disband prior to playing them.

My take is this: Barlow is added only for depth. I'm willing to say that Blaylock and Houston are still the front runners for the starting tailback position. I think, if Barlow doesn't work hard here, he might be out of football next year. The Jets are gonna struggle this year, no question about it.
