dbatesman Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Releasing Harris is 100% the right move, and somehow they find a way to **** that up too. Maccagnan is like a bizarro world King Midas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi son is on Jets CS..The 3? McCown, Decker & Forte? Michael Lombardi @mlombardiNFL He would be the 10th over 30 veteran play released off the Jets this year, only three remain. When your Mike Linebacker is slow, your defense is slow---and Harris was slowing way down. they needed more speed on the Jets defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 What an ungrateful show of disrespect for an all-time great Jet. Why not release him when other teams are in the midst of their free agent hunting, giving him a chance of landing on a contender? Christ. This f'king cheesy organization can never do anything right. No class. There are times when I am embarrassed to be a fan of this horsesh!t team and not because they suck on the field, but because they treat their own players badly, treat the fans poorly and are unprofessional in their actions.

Tony MaC Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Holy sh*t! I guess they figure Davis gives them what they need at MIKE a better price. The only explanation for why they would do this NOW of all times. Harris was a great Jet for a decade, the last truly successful 2nd rounder the team has had. I'll miss him, I honestly thought he'd see the end of that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't bother me in the least. Good for you. My position remains unchanged. The Jets treat everyone badly... their loyal fans, ticketholders, their own players who have been loyal (Mangold, Harris now). But there's always room for a useless incompetent coach (K. Rogers), who contributes NOTHING to the development of the players, and who happens to be a personal friend of Bowles, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler82 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Makes sense. Hard not to like Harris, but we have no business keeping an over paid, over 30 LB on the roster this year. Davis -who's been touted as a locker room leader - slides into Harris's spot... A position that also seems to better suit him talent wise. Good luck to David, and hopefully the Jets can work out a reasonable extension with Davis for 2018 and beyond before he hits free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodeawhodat Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Had to figure that they were either going to tell Davis to not bother to get on the flight to NY or they would release Harris and Davis would replace him.

Yeah, I get the feeling they were completely prepared to roll with him going into the season a week before the draft. Then one thing lead to another and "Oh, wait, maybe we DONT need him?"
