stoicsentry Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The only thing I don't like about this deal is that it doesn't solve any long term problems. If Smith or Leonhard takes up the other spot, then we're going to probably need to replace 2 safeties in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The Jets didn’t waste much time after being spurned by Reggie Nelson, today they have signed LaRon Landry. Adam Schefter is reporting that the deal is for one year with a 4 million dollar price tag. LaRon Landry reached agreement with the Jets on a one-year, $4 million deal. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 19, 2012 Some Jets beat reporters chimed in on the signing as well: Landry is an upgrade for the Jets, all things being equal, but he definitely has the air of "damaged goods." — Bart Hubbuch (@NYPost_Hubbuch) March 19, 2012 Jets officially announce LaRon Landry signing. It's for one year, $4 million according to @AdamSchefter. Blog post coming shortly. — J.P. Pelzman (@JPPelzman) March 19, 2012 Laron Landry signing is a good one for the Jets. However, they still need a free safety-type adept in coverage. #nfl — Manish Mehta(@TheJetsStream) March 19, 2012 For more information on the LaRon Landry signing please visit our View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I really liked the Newman suggestion...at this point in his career safety might be a good option for him. I like that suggestion as well. Feel like it would be an easy call to Rob to see what he thinks. +1 Didn't even have to look to see who posted it You wish you looked like me without a shirt on.

Joewillie2k12 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Landry is a SS-better then smith -But we still need a FS to cover those big freak TE's and no one could do it better then Antonio Cromartie- mark my words he's a perfect fit---he has the ball skills of Ed Reed--except he dosent hit like Reed--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands 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.... How do you figure? Winston got $5.5 million per year for 4 years. That's a huge difference from a 1 year $4 million deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This is awesome. Great job Tanny. Now go out and sign more players that we don't need. There must be a free agent C or LT that we don't have any need for. Maybe a pass catching TE that can't block? This is awesome. We need safeties that can cover TE's but people are telling me how insanely happy I should be over the fact that this team just spent $4mil on a guy who can't cover anyone, but on the rare occassions that he's on the field, he can stuff the run.

HessStation Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That remains to be seen! Not sure what that means. Are you upset because they can't predict the future? Because basically as of today its sorta popular belief via scouts, analysts and teams that Landry is the premier safety FA still available pending health and that this years crop of safety prospects is garbage. Of course a few will buck the system and become a valuable starter for some team as a possible mid-round pick. And Barron has a chance to be special. Everything else is just pie in the sky.

SenorGato Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This is all true. Still find it baffling that anyone would pick Nelson over him because of the misguided perception that Nelson is some kind of blanket back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! You can't possibly be serious with this, can you? In what world was a safety, ANY safety not a need for the Jets? Yes, the Jets still need a coverage safety after the Landry signing, I won't argue that, but that certainly doesn't mean the Jets didn't need a guy like him as well. The Jets had absolutely NOTHING at safety, and no single safety was going to magically solve that problem. This definitely addresses part, but certainly not all, of their need at the position. Let's not forget, the Jets had one safety before this, and it was the NFL's single worst safety. If you think that talentless douchebag who can't even stay on his feet somehow eliminated the Jets need for safety outside of one coverage player, I really don't know what to tell you, because that's simply ridiculous.

The Crusher Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This is a very good signing and this guy can flat out play. Let's hope his last cycle of Hgh gives him what he needs to stay on the field. Love this signing if the guy stays healthy. he may not be good in coverage but he will kill anyone coming across the middle to catch the ball.

I apologize. You are correct. The jets are so god dammotherfu$%int horrible at safety that this is an absolute upgrade. That is correct. However, $4 millon for this guy whoh can't cover or stay on the field? Horrible. They shouldn't have gone over $2.5 mil for this guy. Buuuutttt....I guess $4 mil isn't all that bad if they keep going the way they are and don't plan on signing any other quality players. F&#K!

bitonti Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We need safeties that can cover TE's people are obsessed with finding safeties that can cover TE like Gronk. Guess what, those players basically don't exist. Gronk, in his 2011 form was pretty much uncoverable. I mean ya could put Revis on him. And the Jets did that at times. But let's not pretend that "safeties who can cover Gronk" is some category full of names. Let's also not pretend Reggie Nelson could do it. it's a catch 22 the cover players are brought up through college as cornerbacks. if they can't cover as well they get moved to safety. Ya could start 4 cornerbacks (and teams are starting to do that) but it's a league-wide problem, without an easy solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
