bealeb319 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 This signing would worry me. The patriots seem to be going all out this year in free agency which I assume means they want to get into a few more super bowls before bb and Brady retire. Why would they pay Gilmore and all these other free agents and not bring Hightower back if they thought he was worth the money?Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Life Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've been against throwing money around this FA but I'd love to bring him in. Young great player and can cut Harris to save money while replacing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits on stuff every now and then and he definitely has his connections, but compared to his peers he's pretty unreliable, at least in my opinion.

UnknownJetFan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 They'll have him in for a visit on Monday.

C Mart Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) 3/12/17, 9:19 PM With Dont'a Hightower there's a very strong perception among other teams he's going back to Pats for $10M/yr. The ties to NE run deep... Perhaps the Jets or someone else give him significantly more than 10/yr but barring that the industry assumption is Hightower returns to NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 He'll join for less and then he'll probably end up paying them for the glory of playing with Brady. Maybe Brady will give Hightower his wife's Prius if he wins another SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This would make no sense to me. He's going to be asking for a lot and you just dont allocate that type money to an ILB after hopefully and finally getting that ridiculous Harris contract off the books. I like Hightower, he's a young producer and the type of player the Jets should target on paper but not at what he's going to cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, our roster is so devoid of top-tier talent, I'd be okay with it given that he's one of the best available football players in FA this year, and we need more of them. Every FA is going to cost the Jets a tad more... the "sh*tty team tax", look at how Chicago is overpaying FA. They just gave Markus Wheaton a deal like the one Brandon Marshall got, from what I understand. And the Glennon deal is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pass on this guy, a million times pass. He's a limited LB, with limited speed, suited to the Pats system. Does this team (and it's eternally Pats jealous fans) never learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy position to fill and it certainly shouldnt require overpaying for a FA with a big name because of the school and NFL team he played for.
