SenorGato 13,959 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 He was and is expected to make all his visits before he makes a choice. The NFL can't just give away all the storylines so quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nj meadowlands 26,501 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Rich Cimini @RichCimini Reply Retweet Favorite · Open #Jets are trying to sign S LaRon Landry: source. He arrived yesterday for visit. Also visited NE. Could be best available safety.

JetsFan220 1,011 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 so who is going to cover tight ends? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCarl40 53,248 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 One year, 4 million according to Shefty. Meh. Seems overpaid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HessStation 28,622 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nice!!! Good signing as long as they didn't overpay for him. Even if they did, ah well. They needed him imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HessStation 28,622 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 One year, 4 million according to Shefty. Meh. Seems overpaid. No way. I was going to say 3-4M, anything over 4 would have been overpaying. I solid deal, can't complain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFanInDenver 799 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 One year, 4 million according to Shefty. Meh. Seems overpaid. By the standards of what we are paying for Cro this seems like a dollar store bargain! P.S: The desperation shows! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBe_Tweetin 21 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 1 year 4 million according to Adam Schefter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan220 1,011 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter LaRon Landry reached agreement with the Jets on a one-year, $4 million deal. Sounds like the same amount as the Eric Winston/Chiefs contract...Why did we not sign him to play RT and block Mario Williams.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dbatesman 48,644 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 so who is going to cover tight ends? Pretty much. Atogwe had better still be in play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nj meadowlands 26,501 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Naturally, many of you sissy Mary's will cry about this. But I am pretty pleased with this signing. Low risk move, and it solves half of our "roster full of sh*tty safeties" problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonEJet 61,506 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Seems like alot of money for a safety Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisYearsModel 1,017 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 $4 Mil for a safety with an untreated achilles injury? Wowzers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Low risk move, and it solves half of our "roster full of sh*tty safeties" problem. For what we are paying him I think its a good move, but we still need a safety who is good in coverage. Landry is huge, looks like a LB, and can come up and stop the run, where a guy like Otogwe and Nelson are better in coverage, something our Safeties lacked the last few seasons.

Bleedin Green 79,948 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 No way. I was going to say 3-4M, anything over 4 would have been overpaying. I solid deal, can't complain. Agreed. Would have been nice to get him for a little less, but the guy was never going to sign for the vet minimum. Given that it's a one year deal there's really next to no risk for the Jets here. I have to imagine they felt comfortable with his health situation, and considering the Jets current safety situation it is, health permitting, a massive upgrade. It will also be interesting to see the structure, as depending on how much is up front/guaranteed vs incentive based it might be better than it sounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BroadwayJoe12 17,300 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter LaRon Landry reached agreement with the Jets on a one-year, $4 million deal. Sounds like the same amount as the Eric Winston/Chiefs contract...Why did we not sign him to play RT and block Mario Williams.... The same reason many of the guys here are complaining about Landry: injuries. FWIW, I still wouldn't be surprised to see us target safety in the first or second round, as Landry will be gone for bigger money next year if he performs well and stays healthy and we still need a FS.

rillo 52,310 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Still don't see how this guy is gonna play safety the way he bulked up. Welcome aboard tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HessStation 28,622 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 By the standards of what we are paying for Cro this seems like a dollar store bargain! P.S: The desperation shows! 4M for 1 year sounds about right. The Polamalu's and Reed's are around 6.5-8. The ancient Brian Dawkins around 6M. Honestly they needed to sign him. If they slightly overpaid by $300,000 does it really matter. Pending the achilles he still has potential to become a star in this D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
