Jets bring back Coles for third time
Update: The Jets have signed wide receiver Laveranues Coles to a one-year contract, making it Coles’ third tour with the team after two previous stints in New York from 2000 to 2002 and from 2005 to 2008.
Fantasy Impact: Bringing back Coles is a good move for the Jets. The two sides parted ways on good terms last offseason and Coles is familiar with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s playbook. The big adjustment is that this will be Coles’ first time wearing green in the Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez era. It shouldn’t be too difficult for all parties to get on the same page however, as a young quarterback like Sanchez will welcome throwing to a good veteran route-runner like Coles who doesn’t shy away from the tough catches over the middle or being a physical blocker in the running game. Ryan, of course has built his brand on bringing in players with the win-at-all-costs reckless abandonment that Coles has been known for playing with on Sundays. I still am not sure about when to draft Coles, if at all, but Sanchez’s stock just rose slightly in my book.
