I think the Jets should go after him, hes one of the better RT in the league and is only 28 years old.

Texans clearing cap room to either a. Go after Peyton or b. trying to retain Mario Williams. You just don't release a high end offensive linemen when they only owed 5 mill this season. Jets need to make a run at this guy. Adding him would bring our line back up towards the top of the league.

Price tag dependent.

OMG......he's our man. So much money under the cap...fix the line for eight more years....obtain a playmaker in round 1 of the draft...nice

Winston would be an amazing signing, but there are a lot of teams who are going to overpay for him and have more cap room than us. I'm not sure if we can sacrifice most of our cap room to get him. We have too many holes.

I'm not so sure Winston would be the magic solution to our RT troubles.

Some interesting Football Outsiders info:

The Texans ran better off RT (4.6 YPC) than they did off LT (4.16), plus better on right side outside runs (4.15 YPC) than they did left side runs (3.63).

I'm sure more than just Eric Winston factors into that, but it's an interesting note that he manned the stronger side of a very good running game.

Comparatively, the Jets were significantly better running on RT than they were on LT (4.48 YPC vs 2.89) but were better on left side outside runs/tosses (3.74 vs 4.14). Brandon Moore being a stout run blocker could factor into that first stat as well, though.

Other stats:

Winston did give up 7.5 sacks in 2011, though. (Hunter 8.5)
*Sanchez sucky stat of the day: Texans only lost 33yds on Winston's 7.5 allowed sacks, Jets lost 57.5 yards on Hunter's 8.5 allowed sacks*

Winston was called for 7 penalties in 2011 (2 false start, 5 holding), Hunter: 9 total, 7 false start, 2 holding.


I think he would be a marginal improvement over Hunter, but would command money that requires significant improvement. A lot of teams have a lot of cash to throw around this offseason. I also think Sparano's tutelage can make enough of a difference to offset much of that gap.

I got this from another board.

Then again...

According to profootballfocus Winston has allowed 20 or fewer pressures in each of the last 3 years. Hunter allowed 32 this year according to them.
