peekskill68 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've come around on this. At least with Revis we know the guy can handle New York and play at a high level. All the other CB's (including Cro) are more hit-or-miss. I think I would do the deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just read Eagles are in pursuit of Tramon Williams too. I think the Eagles have been linked to about 80% of the players being talked about right now. Pretty absurd and unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Exactly! Instead, we're just watching all the beasts get signed. I mean, this guy cant get a single FA to sign with the Jets...with all this money? I though Todd Bowles was universally loved? Just another Head Coach and GM in over their heads for my beloved Jets. Too early to panic. FA hasn't started yet. But we do seem to be interested in a lot of guys and haven't signed them. Revis, Cro and Lupati are still out there - if we land those three and some quality, young, additions - it'll be a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Jets aint getting Revis unfortunately. Lets get Cary Williams, Cro and Culliver. I'd be pretty happy with two of those three. Interesting there hasn't been a lot of Cro talk. Big FA spending doesn't tend to result in a whole lot of improvement. Plenty of spots the Jets can beef up the roster. On the flip side, if a guy is legit I do see the point in spending. It's those $60m+ deals for guys like Maxwell that get me uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 You pay Maxwell 100 mil. and people bitch. You don't pay him, the same people bitch again. Macc can't win this one. I'm just glad it's a small % he has to fight against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to go down in flames doing what you want to do than going down with someone else provident the players. That same comment was made about Kelly about 4 games into his tenure with the Eagles before his offense started to click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I am legitimately confused. Don't we have to spend a sh*t ton of money to meet the league threshold? We have to be competing for some of these guys simply because of addition right? Or not. I don't know. The NFL salary cap confuses me because it's stupid. They can always extend mo and front load his contract if need be, plenty of ways to burn cash this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry guys, I've been kidding around. I'm not panicked. Because I know that it really doesn't matter who we sign because we are going to suck no matter what because its the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you couldn't still spend a lot, just curious if there's any credence to it. I've never heard that. I don't see how the league could prevent a team from managing their cap however they see fit and I've never heard of a team being told not to do so. As long as they're under the cap they should be fine....be interesting to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I honestly am really starting to think Chip is in over his head. Go nuts and if it works he's a genius.

Pac Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Coworker just tricked me (for 30 seconds) into believing that the Jets were rumored to be working on a Drew Brees trade.
