rajensen088 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Jets | Team made an offer to Chatman Mon, 20 Mar 2006 07:00:10 -0800 Geoff Hobson, of Bengals.com, reports the New York Jets also made a contract offer to WR Antonio Chatman, before he agreed to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals. Leberfeld from MSG hit it on the nail when he wrote: "The Jets, on the other hand, will have to look toward tomorrow and build through the draft, because with a 35-year-old coach (Eric Mangini), and a 37-year-old GM (Mike Tannenbaum), both learning on the job, free agents, for the most part, are saying, thanks, but no thanks to Gang Green". "So far, they have only been able to sign a backup linebacker/special teamer (Matt Chatham) and a 35-year-old defensive end (Kimo von Oelhoffen)".

Yet you loved Edwards who was never even a DC.."Earn while you learn Herm" was lucky to go to a winning Team and then when that fell apart goes to another Winning Team! And Hermie could even get his kid's Godfather to sign with the Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most free agents will follow the money and I don't think that the Jets are throwing a heck of a lot of money around. Perhaps if the money was equal, some may prefer to go to a more established program, others may go where they can play the most. I find it hard to believe that most free agents care about the age of the head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in the NFL, where contracts are always terminated. The team with the most guaranteed $$$$ on the table gets the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
