Typical Tannembaum. Lands a strong FA and can't convince him to come back for cheap. Gosh this is the worst.

February 25th, 2013: Landry signs 4 yr/$28 million dollar contract with NYJ

July 16th, 2013: Landry's hamstrings turn to Shredded Wheat

Minutes after injury: Jets cut Landry, he walks away with less than half of what he signed. #NFLmuhfckas

Why would he, he's been here one year.

i honestly can't see anything wrong with what he said. If it were the team that drafted him for over 7 years or something, then maybe.

Exactly. This is not a "home town" discount situation. Just Scott hating...

From what I had heard from the Jets, players want to come play for Ryan, without having even been here. The fact that someone will not stay for a little less is somewhat telling.

Draw your own conclusions.

I have. A player who's injury prone is looking for possibly his last big pay day. Only a hater would spin this into some type of indictment on Rex Ryan.

As have I. Playing for Ryan is not as attractive as he has told us it is.

Teams will sign with the Jets when they offer the most-not because of Rex Ryan.

Per Rotoworld via Daily News. Not to worry, I hear players love to play for Rex

LaRon Landry told the New York Daily News that he will not take a hometown discount this offseason to re-sign with the Jets.

The Jets took a flier on Landry when few wanted him in 2012 free agency. He's 28 years old and won't be repaying Jets management for giving him the shot. "What do you mean (by) a discount?" Landry said. "Take less over what? From where? ... I’m going to sit down with my agent and family and make the best business decision." Landry has 89 tackles, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions this year. Pro Football Focus has also graded him positively in coverage.

Seems smart to me.

[RutgersJetFan]

Falcons hats. No hometown discounts. Wtf is this team coming to...

He never said anything, neither did the Jets. Ex-player have spoken out about playing for him, none of them have ever said they'd take less money to play for Rex Ryan. Just that they love playing for him.

But spin your agenda any way you'd like. Facts dont really matter.

Most coaches don't entertain this type of silly banter-doesn't stop Ryan though:

http://www.nj.com/je...s_still_wa.html

Ryan has prided himself on being a players' coach and one that would attract players to the Jets. He did not think the poll took away from his appeal as a coach that players would want to play for.
"No. I think if you look at it and poll the same players who they want to play for, I’ll probably end up where I always am: right at the top with Mike Tomlin," Ryan said. "It's either me or Mike Tomlin, one or two."
"As long as they want to come here and play and I’m overrated, that’s fine, but I want them to want to come here and play."

Players sometimes give discounts to teams that gave them a chance, if they like the system, if they like the program, if they like the coaches.

Is it a given? Of course not.

One would expect that the affinity that players have for Rex with his dynamic personality, that players would come here for less.

Clearly this has nothing to do with Rex, and everything to do with Sanchez!

Why would any defender take a discount to play on the same team as this 3-and-out/turnover machine?

I mean, seriously, you should get paid more to play on the Jets defense, as long as Sanchez is the QB the defense needs to carry the team, and they're probably on the field a lot more too.

.....

See, I can do this too!

Actually, it is all you do.

It may be a reason, though.

And that is a reflection of decisons the head coach is making.

Yeah, Rex needs to stop calling fumbles.

I'm curious if all I do is spin, why is everything I say about the QB backed by both standard and advanced metrics? Your attacks on the coach are based on press conferences and players looking to maximize their earning potential. You're a cartoon.

My retorts on the coach are based on results and management principals.

What metrics are you aware of for coaching?

And, lets see if you can have dialogue without name calling.

I'm not arguing that Rex is anything special. That's the difference. Neither are most people on this board.

The only argument is that Rex's press conferences, and in this specific thread, a player saying that he's not interested in taking a home town discount is indicative of exactly nothing.

Swing and a miss, in other words.

We have been told by Rex himself that players like to come play for him. It appears not.

Not a big indictment, as are the lack of institutional control he has over this team, but another bluster from Rex that amounts to nothing.

You have had as many swing and misses in this forum, as a 2 year old tee ball player. Hey, it happens in agenda ridden drivel. Same as me.

Who signs for less in the NFL? If that's supposed to be the determining factor as to whether players want to play for a coach, then there isn't a player's coach in the league.

There are probably a few coaches out there scaring FAs -or their own players- away though. I doubt Rex is one of them. While Jet fans whine about the unconditional public support Rex gives a guy like Mark Sanchez, I imagine players around the league view that support as a check in Ryan's pro column.
