Brandon Pettigrew - TE - Lions
According to the New York Daily News, the Jets will sign TE Brandon Pettigrew shortly.
It's an upgrade on Zach Sudfeld and Jeff Cumberland, but it's far from a difference-making acquisition. Pettigrew is a plodding, catch-and-fall guy in the passing game that has averaged 9.95 yards per reception in his five-year career. He's also been a liability when blocking in the run game. Pettigrew will barely be on the TE2 radar with Geno Smith and the Jets.

I thought I read that he's about to sign with the NYJ.

Fasano x2? Andy was a lock to Arizona at one time as well.

It's like the time I almost bought Journey's Escape CD in the five dollar bin at Best Buy.

Maybe, but Dave Birkett posted it at 5:03pm Central.

For everyone on the Pettigrew watch, sounds like the Lions, Raiders, Chiefs and Jets are the teams in the mix.

He's like Fasano except he can't catch consistently or block . . .

At least that CD is worth the money. Pettigrew not so much...

He had 41 receptions, 416 yards & 2 TD's last year, Bowe had about 600 yards with 105 receptions, so he's not that shabby.

Lions aren't keeping him because he is an unreliable pass catcher, offers nothing after the catch, and is an unreliable blocker. I would not be happy with signing his JAG ass.

If he signs.. Well McGrath better be prepared to see Mister Powers Boothe in his signature role (not counting Dawns Early Light)

I thought Pettigrew exploded last year. Come to find out he just turned into a rat.

He can't stay healthy.

Outside of that he's WAY better than Fasano. WAY better.

How so? He has less dependable hands and offers nothing after the catch.
