Jets trade Stanton to Colts.

Cimini chimes in

Stanton's agent, Deryk Gilmore, couldn't resist the chance to tweak the Jets. After the trade, he tweeted, "Excited for the #Colts to get @drewstanton a leader, winner, and QB not a gimmick to sell tickets."

A few minutes later, he deleted the tweet. His new tweet said, "#Jets are a class organization for doing the right thing. I believe in my players and know what they can do."

Not too sure the 1st comment was even made

So essentially the Jets recouped the late round swap they made in the Tebow trade. Although assuming it's the Colts own 6th, they actually came out ahead of their original pick. Not the worst thing in the world considering the situation they put themselves in with this whole series of events.

Its the eagles 6th

this was one of the few good things that has happened so far this off season. We traded someone that was never going to see the field for a 6th round pick. Landry was also a good signing if he can stay healthy. Pouha was good for depth and there wasn't anyone else out there that was better.

Agreed. The fact that people can even start to mention that this is somehow a dick move by the Jets is absurd. We could have kept him for as long as we wanted to. We have kept 4 QB's on the roster before in 09. We could have let him and Mcelroy duke it out for the third and cut him in the summer. We could have relegated him to 3rd string for the entire season. Instead they asked him where he wanted to go and got it done for him. They could have sent him anywhere they wanted to.

How dare anyone criticize the Jets for signing a guy, taking a shot at what they see as an upgrade, then getting a 6th for the guy after they signed him for basically nothing. I think it's VERY smart by the FO to make this happen and they should be happy about it.

whether you like the Tebow presence or not, what they did is very smart where Stanton is concerned.

Eat it!!!

Pouha means a lot more to this team than just depth. He's a key starter on the Jets strongest unit, not to mention one of the best 3-4 NTs in the league.

Stanton had a legit beef and all that, but what does it say about a player if their worth on the open market is the difference between a 6th and 7th round pick?

Outside of just letting him walk away with half a million bucks, is there any way for the Jets to get less than that for him?

500k for a 6th round pick...sounds about right

It wasn't even a 6th round pick, though that would be small compensation.

It was 6th round pick, (players #161-192) that we had to give up a 7th round pick, (players # 193-224), to obtain.

We are dealing with degrees of microscopic value here. :biggrin:
