Can we all agree that having Rex as a coach has had zero effect on attracting free agents?

Lulz watevs Payton wuz nvr coming here neways.
(Chandler)'s a nice piece as long as he's the 7th most important player on your roster....I think they're going to be disappointed when they see he's just a pumped-up Drew Gooden.

At least I'm not a snide little prick

If I was on the market, and I had competing bids from my current company and a company someplace else that I was not familiar with, I would give my current company a discount. I am established in the community, my kids are established in the schools, and I know the people I will be working with. That is of value to me.
As loathsome as I find agreeing with dierking to be, I agree. Plenty of players have taken less to stay put
Yeah, I'm totally gay
So ****ing this dude. Unreal.

So, one player proves something?
And, since I've had so many misses, it shouldn't be hard for you to name something I've been wrong about with regards to Sanchez... Just one... Shouldn't be tough, right?
I'm pretty sure you said Sanchez would be long forgotten in 15 years, but people will be enjoying the ass fumble for generations on blooper reels
Yeah, I'm totally gay
So ****ing this dude. Unreal.

The question from Faba was posed to me, personally. And, there ARE players that give it consideration.Jay Cutler just announced that he would give a discount to stay with the Bears.
Again, Rex tells us the Jets are a destination, purely because of him.
I have never seen Rex say that. When did that happen? Throw up a link I would love to see that story. Thanks.

Totally disagree.
Having Rex was the sole reason for landing Bart Scott. So it has definitely had an effect, a negative one but it is still an effect.

True, but do they all announce it months before the free agent signing period? Some do, but it's certainly not a reason to fault the Jets. If they signed this injury prone malcontent to a long term deal I'd be hearing Dierking rant about how stupid it was. If he wanted to "give the hometown discount" he might still be playing in Washington.

Please do not put protestations in my mouth that you know nothing about.
I am actually loathe to the idea of the Jets putting MORE money in their secondary. They have an imbalance there, and it is a bad way to build a team.
My commentary strictly centered around a player not even saying he would give the Jets "first shot". He has seen the writing on the wall with this regime.

Um. How about I put this protestation in your mouth? The one I bolded. It's a crock of sh*t and you know it. Read it and choke on it. What does the fact that a guy (who signed a cheap one year deal to prove he was healthy) not wanting to play for less money have to do with "the writing on the wall?" Not much. I guess that Brady saw the writing on the wall when he held the Pats up for $80M with $50M guaranteed or Brees with $100M with $40M guaranteed - oh no, that's right... they gave the hometown discount.

You are allowed to love a regime that is guiding your franchise in the wrong direction. No crime in that. Have fun with that next year. Only delaying the inevitable here.

New Beginnings with Rex Ryan

None of Leonard, Scott and any other Raven castoffs that followed him over. I would easily say.
Remember when Trevor Pryce was cut, the Ravens told him to wait and they'd resign him but he signed with Jets to play for Rex? I do.
Remember when the Jets biggest rival a$$hole next to Tom Brady, Jason Taylor signed with the Jets because of Rex Ryan? I do.
Remember when future HOF RB, LT, was a free agent and had many teams courting him but he chose the Jets because of Rex Ryan? I do. Remember when the Jets asked him to take a pay cut his 2nd season here and he did? I do.
Remember when Laron Landry was a cheap FA and looking to prove himself healthy and had a bunch of other teams courting him but he chose the Jets? I do.

What does loving the regime or hating them have to do with this? A football player, a known mercenary, is looking to get paid. How on earth is that supposed to reflect on the organization in either a positive or negative light? It has nothing to do with anything, but you post it as part of your agenda. There are plenty of reasons to hate these guys, but this is not one of them.

That is quite an illustrious list of NFL talent that was at it's peak when the Jets bought those players.
Remember the Super Bowls they helped bring this organization? That was awesome.
The Jets a an organization that is in current decline. It is going to get worse before it gets better. The real question is, do we want people who will be fighting in job protect mode, and mortgaging the future to save themselves, or someone who is competent and has a plan on how to come out of this? Let's make it better before this regime makes it worse

They came to play for money. Too much in most cases.
