Bleedin Green Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The fact that he's still sitting out on the FA market a month after being cut certainly starts to bring up some serious questions about this. It's the entire league passing on him at this point, not just the Jets, which seems quite peculiar given his past level of play. I was, and to an extent still am, in favor of bringing him in, but it seems like there must be more to this story. At this point, the only possibilities I can imagine is he's either asking for significantly more than any team thinks he's worth, or there's some other questionable stuff going on that somehow hasn't gone public (presumably off the field). I have to imagine he hasn't suddenly been forced out of the league, so unless he has a year-long suspension coming his way, sooner or later he'll end up somewhere and maybe more information will come along with it.

I think it's the former; he wants to be paid way more than teams are willing to. The real question is why the disconnect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interest level will only further drop after the draft, so he's not doing himself any favors if it's about nothing but money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Has to be a $$$ issue, Hankins did the same thing last year before signing with IND. I would like him but he's hurting himself because the draft is two weeks away. If he doesn't want to sign we can look for someone in the later rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't sign until a couple weeks before last years draft. So, he is definitely comfortable holding out for what he thinks he is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Report was that he wouldn’t fit as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s lots of tape and scouting on him. He’s played in the NFL for multiple teams. Why would the Jets even bring him in, which they did, if he wasn’t a fit?

Teams get to look at their full rosters, and quickly fill the remaining holes. He doesn't get signed that week, something strange is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 He would need to sign a three year, reasonable, incentive based contract to be worth it. Same thing with Dez Bryant. I think Chris has clipped Mac’s wings on these deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wish we'd kept Snacks, the colts was paying this guy 10 mill per. I bet he wants 8 per, and Jets go to 6 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree. I'd love to have him in green and white but I'm thinking it's about the benjamins. Macc probably has a price set and that's that. Same as with ASJ. Hankins better take something before the draft cause people will soon forget about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
