Scott Dierking Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Per Rotoworld via Daily News. Not to worry, I hear players love to play for Rex LaRon Landry told the New York Daily News that he will not take a hometown discount this offseason to re-sign with the Jets. The Jets took a flier on Landry when few wanted him in 2012 free agency. He's 28 years old and won't be repaying Jets management for giving him the shot. "What do you mean (by) a discount?" Landry said. "Take less over what? From where? ... I’m going to sit down with my agent and family and make the best business decision." Landry has 89 tackles, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions this year. Pro Football Focus has also graded him positively in coverage.

Il Mostro Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I understand that it is a business, and he needs to make the best decision for him and family, but there are better ways to say it.

Scott Dierking Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Players sometimes give discounts to teams that gave them a chance, if they like the system, if they like the program, if they like the coaches. Is it a given? Of course not. One would expect that the affinity that players have for Rex with his dynamic personality, that players would come here for less.

Scott Dierking Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah would you take a discount from your job? Nothing to see hear 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.

Scott Dierking Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Most coaches don't entertain this type of silly banter-doesn't stop Ryan though: http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2012/11/rex_ryan_said_players_still_wa.html Ryan has prided himself on being a players' coach and one that would attract players to the Jets. He did not think the poll took away from his appeal as a coach that players would want to play for. "No. I think if you look at it and poll the same players who they want to play for, I’ll probably end up where I always am: right at the top with Mike Tomlin," Ryan said. "It's either me or Mike Tomlin, one or two." "As long as they want to come here and play and I’m overrated, that’s fine, but I want them to want to come here and play."

Is it a given? Of course not. One would expect that the affinity that players have for Rex with his dynamic personality, that players would come here for less. Clearly this has nothing to do with Rex, and everything to do with Sanchez! Why would any defender take a discount to play on the same team as this 3-and-out/turnover machine? I mean, seriously, you should get paid more to play on the Jets defense, as long as Sanchez is the QB the defense needs to carry the team, and they're probably on the field a lot more too. ..... See, I can do this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Rex needs to stop calling fumbles. I'm curious if all I do is spin, why is everything I say about the QB backed by both standard and advanced metrics? Your attacks on the coach are based on press conferences and players looking to maximize their earning potential. You're a cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your attacks on the coach are based on press conferences and players looking to maximize their earning potential. You're a cartoon. My retorts on the coach are based on results and management principals. What metrics are you aware of for coaching? And, lets see if you can have dialogue without name calling.
