PatsFanTX Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Look out. That signing is a lock for the Jets to be in Detroit next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YJF Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 This is bargain hunting. Strictly a move for depth. Gardner can play inside and out. This could spell the end of Sam Cowart's Jet career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Good job YJF--well put...Can't add anything more. I'd like to give my write up on him, but it seems all mine and Bits work for 1 team is missing :twisted: Don't worry Bit, I don't think anyone outside of Drew Carey will miss our writeups for that franschise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Not a bad signing at all. Gardner has starting experience and he's there to provide depth. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Jets & Ham Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I was waiting for somebody to address the depth issue. This was a very good signing by the Jets. AGREED Gardner is 28 Years old and he can ball ... was once a pretty good linebacker in Philly, before he signed with the dreadful Browns via free agency ... don't be surprised if he challenges Hobson and Brown for that starting SLB Job At the very least this is Quality "Young" depth ... and he'll play some linebacker even if he doesn't start ... at the very least he'll be a rotational guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Jets add LB depth: The club gave former Browns linebacker Barry Gardner a five-year deal for around $5 million. There are incentives in the deal that could make it significantly more if he gets a chance to start. Is this guy and OLB or ILB? Funny, I've heard of him before, thought he played in the Illadelph, but from the looks of it, doesn't really seem to be a starter. Possibly could start over Hobson maybe?

Green Jets & Ham Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 This was a typical Patriots move Gardner is not flashy, but he's a tough SOB who plays physical and plays hard He can play ILB or SLB I think you'll see him mount a serious challenge for the SLB Job ... three-way competition between Hobson, Brown, and Gardner ... and even if he loses that battle he'll get on the field as a linebacker in an occasional rotation {always has}, and when he does he'll play well tough and he'll play well Typical Patriots move here ... not flashy, but a tough linebacker on the cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 the guy had 14 tackles in a game last year-and an INT that he returned to the 1-says to me this;he can play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Barton-Vilma-Gardner-Hobson Nice 4 LB rotation. 3-4 switch? Abe-Robertson-Ellis Comeon, we can dream can't we? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe-Robertson-Ellis Comeon, we can dream can't we? :wink: 124, when we go to the 3-4 I think it will look like this ..... DE Lance Legree DT DeWayne Robertson DE Shaun Ellis =============== OLB John Abraham ILB Jon Vilma ILB Barry Gardner {or Sam Cowart if he's still here?} OLB Eric Barton Abe would shift to OLB in the 3-4 cause to place him at DE would neutralize his speed and he would get mauled ... he would be better used an an edge-rusher from OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Gardner led the Eagles in special teams tackles the past two seasons. He played in all 16 games last season, recording 38 tackles with one sack and a fumble recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Jet Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 but after reading some of these statements, it could be that we have a real player about to emerge on the cheap! GH7J is right. This is a PATRIOTS type move. HERMANATOR: welcome. It was a surprise to see you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that Jet fans are not content unless they make a big splash signing of a player who they claim will be a Pro Bowl player (which is every single one). You don't have to start in the NFL to make important contributions on game day. Gardner gives the Jets great flexibility and added depth. Great signing.

YJF Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Sam Cowart could be dealt here or cut later on. That's why Gardner was signed. He's a special teams guy who can start outside and inside. Gives The Jets some depth at two different positions. With Mark Brown and Darrell McClover as capable young backups behind Barton and Hobson. The Jets needed another guy inside. That's why, They signed Gardner. I'll be interested to see how The Jets play this. The best under the radar linebacker right now on the market is Rams OLB Tommy Polley. Problem with Polley is that he's a smallish linebacker who really stinks against the run. He has to be in a Cover 2 type system. The departure of Lovie Smith hurt him. He's not suited for a Jets type defense. So that's why they went with Gardner. If The Jets are willing to trade Cowart. They might get something for him especially with all these teams going to 3-4's. Problem is how The Jets absorb a cap hit if they trade Cowart. That leads me to believe that he could be cut in June.

Any chance we could deal Cowart to the Ravens? Isn't Hartwell gone? Could this be a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YJF Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 It's possible JetsFan. If I was going to a 3-4. Sam Cowart would be a nice pickup at MLB. I think, there will be teams looking at him. Maybe even The Patriots. The Jets may just cut ties with Cowart. I don't know the cap ramifications if they trade him. They could get something for him but teams might just wait for The Jets to cut him rather than give up a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
