MatthewPLP Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Whoa! Watch out NE, we just got back an aging OLB... Yes he played well last year, but can he replicate that? 1 year older..Surprised Idzik signed him back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Perfectly fine with that. Couldn't find anyone better and a decent enough value (or perhaps no one better was interested, doesn't matter) so bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Jets re-signed OLB Calvin Pace to a two-year, $5 million contract. Pace revived his career during a quiet 10-sack 2013 campaign, adding 53 tackles and two forced fumbles. He hasn't missed a start in New York since 2010. Pace remains a worthwhile contributor, but is going on age 34. The Jets need to begin targeting a true franchise pass rusher to book end Quinton Coples. After signing Eric Decker, perhaps they'll pursue one in the draft's first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Meh signing, most likely to hedge our bets if we can't find his replacement this year or next. I'd also assume it's not structured in a way where it's painful to cut him next year. I can live with Pace for another year or two if that means we keep upgrading our offense. Also, dude seriously needs to buy dinner for the rest of the d-line for freeing him up for all these sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Solid move. Nothing spectacular but he had a good year and it's a decent price for a possible starter. Wasn't a position at which there seemed to be a particular bevy of young talent available in FA, and I'm sure Pace won't keep them from potentially addressing the position in the draft. Also remember they have Barnes coming back from injury as well, who will likely be taking some snaps away from Pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Idzik is in damage control mode. Cromartie would be back at minimum if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good signing. He was very consistent last year and with our D-Line freeing up space for him he should be able to duplicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cromartie would be back at minimum if that were the case. Very much agree with this. Look at how many of the Jet FAs got signed by the Jets. The utter lack of interest in restructuring or signing him as a UFA shows seems to indicate that they're done with him.

The utter lack of interest in restructuring or signing him as a UFA shows seems to indicate that they're done with him. Yep. It's obvious the Jets are not panicking with CRo being a great example. They would have signed him. They actually still may. If this Cardinal thing does't work out and Cro calls back saying he's into a one year show me deal or a 3-4 mil per contract for 3 years Idzik may bite. We're just done with him at anywhere near big time CB money. I think the Jets believe he is on the decline and will not get into a bidding war with him. I'm sure they would work it out if he came real cheap. I don't see too much interest out there for Cro other than the Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Free agency isn't over. Yeah but if they were in damage control mode Cro would have been here already.That's my point. I actually hope they sign Cro back. I think he's just lovely and miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I like the Pace signing. He's solid. Agreed. It's a good signing for all parties. Pace was productive last year and it cost the Jets pretty much nothing to bring him back. Whereas Pace needs a dominant D-Line to be successful at this stage in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKwaz Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think the team is high on the younger OLB's on roster, Troy Davis, Jermaine Cunningham and Tim Fugger. Rex seems to want a great dline and great corners. He will scheme the rest into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
