varjet Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hightower is a good yin to Darron Lee's yang. He is 265 pounds. Moves pretty well for that. The Pats may believe his position and weight are such not to warrant a long term contract. I think they got burned with Mayo's. They will look to draft a replacement (do they have any picks left?).

varjet Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The Patriots have actually invested high picks on ILBs who can cover-Collins, Mayo, Hightower. They invest in those positions and OL. They draft CBs and WRs low (if at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime21 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 We have to offer waaaay more than the Pats to get him to sign. I'm sure he's loving the Jets being involved to squeeze just a little more from the Pats. But not not much more...they don't seem to ever let the players have the upper hand in negotiations.

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... I agree they should pass on hightower. But would be nice to drive up price for NE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetPotato Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 While its highly likely the Hightower stuff is agent talk, don't forget that usually when an agent or player tries to get more out of Belichick, they're told to take a hike. If the Jets have a real offer, it might actually fall in their lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us Much, what are YOU doing to "not accept" our franchise this year? Apart from hot air on a forum, of course? I enjoy watching and rooting for my team, every game, every year, good or bad. If you don't enjoy it, perhaps the issue is why you keep watching a team you so clearly loathe? The Jets aren't a drug and we're not addicts here. I am sure the Giants would be happy to have you as a fan, and they're widely considered one of the best run franchises in the NFL. So what's stopping you?

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. Doesn't change my love for the team. Just makes me more apt to quaff more booze and pop a Zoloft or two. I'm sorry you're old and tired, but please do not presume you have some special form of unique fan-martyrdom the rest of us don't. I'll say it as clearly as I can, your being tired doesn't make your original post any less foolish. If you do not understand where this Jets team is right now vs. where the Pats are right now, that's an intellectual failing on your part. We all want a winner. Most of us can differentiate why the Jets and the Pats, today, are in different places with different abilities/desires to spend X on Y player. Quote Last I checked, this is a message board where we vent and/or share our opinions about the team. It is, which is what allows me to be critical of your opinions. The freedom to comment goes both ways, you can whine, I can be critical of your whine purely for the content of that whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly talks about jets and hightower with respect to jets context (and that Campbell took a while to agree with Jaguars and Broncos were pursuing). The only interesting nugget is that the Broncos pursuing Campbell could result in some interest in Sheldon given position need and scheme fit.

In essence that is exactly what I was saying but you just made it more about draft and I was just saying overall... Because they trade picks for players too. Like Cooks, Welker... Etc. Doesn't always work ala Chad Johnson and Hainsworth... but My point is they simply move pieces better then anyone. So in the end their drafts look better then they really were because their players are also on a short leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
