If only he wasn't a loud mouth locker room instigator.... then other teams might actually value him up to his talent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does my initial post about our GM/front office devolve into me disavowing my love for the team and going over to the Vagiants?

I've been attending games and otherwise watching on TV since the mid-1960s. After a while, SOJFs like me tire of the "Hess knows what he's doing", "Gutman is an ace", "Steinberg will right the ship with his expertise", "Trust in Tanny", "Trust in Coslet", "Trust in Rex", "We got lucky to find a team as skillful as Bowles and Mcc" chants.

Not many other teams got to championship games like the Jets have. There is a reason why Brady, Big Ben & Manning have owned the AFC for the last 16 years. It's not surprising based on no QB & Free Agency buys that we experience a few good years & can have no true consistancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your solution to mediocrity is to pay big money to some vets so we can go 8-8 next year and guarantee us zero chance at a Franchise qb?? Brilliant Actually, it's your mentality that forces the front office to constantly make moves to be "competitive" during a rebuild thereby guaranteeing a failed rebuild. You don't rebuild by trying to win now. That's the opposite of a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 SIgning him is not out of reality though. He's only 26, so age isn't a problem. He would definitely help fill the leadership role and be a sound replacement for David Harris. But I think he's going back to NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE has a way of trading high profile players like Hightower sooner or later maybe he sees the writing on the wall if he can garner a long term deal here in NY he knows he's here to stay.

joewilly12 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, the Texans decided to move on from Brock Osweiler following a halftime altercation with coach Bill O'Brien in Week 17. Osweiler's tiff with O'Brien had been mentioned in passing, but apparently it was the deciding factor in Houston's decision to find a new quarterback. Tom Savage started against the Titans in Week 17 but was ruled out in the second quarter after suffering a concussion. Osweiler lashed out at O'Brien after he was told that he'd be finishing the game, ripping O'Brien for using him only because he had to. As the conflict escalated, Osweiler accused O'Brien of holding him hostage after O'Brien blocked him from walking away. Eventually the two had to be separated. It's common for stories to leak out like this after a messy divorce, but clearly Osweiler was never right for Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The MMQB's Albert Breer reports "at least one team" involved in talks with free agent Dont'a Hightower is convinced he'll return to the Patriots. Hightower's market has been slow to develop, with only loose reports linking him to the Titans and Browns. Hightower's injury history is also a concern. It sounds like he could end up back in Foxboro on a team-friendly contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepPep Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I like Hightower. And like most, would be very surprised if he left the Pats. Having said that, it wouldn't be the end of the world if the Jets didn't get him and I would not want to sign him at some ridiculous price tag. Wouldn't mind Minter if that is still an option...

That's getting pretty annoying too. It used to be "I mean", now it's "So". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
