Sir Speez Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 While up to this point i have a lot of confidence in our FO, i am surprised that we didnt even make any real attempts when it comes to these FA's. I really wanted Porter more than the other 2 as i thought he would have given us a real intimidatiing force that all great defenses need, plus he would have kept the fire burning on the field. Yes we probably will get more pieces by spending the same money on Bowens and Coleman, but the thougt of Porter in Kelly Green flying around the corner with his sights locked in on Tom Brady maked my knees weak...now i have a pit in my stomach knowing that Dbrick and possibly Colombo have four games at least against the likes of Porter and A Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Speez Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Did you see how much $$$ Porter and Clements got? LOL no its not MadMike or anyone else posing lol...and yes i did see how much they got, but we didnt even try is what probably bothers me more...further looking into the Porter signing Mia didnt even give him a chance to visit anyone they just blew him away with their offer...reread my original post if nec i am not of the Doom and Gloom Ilk that MadMike belongs too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'brickMangoldJets Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 No Porter no A Thomas No Clementson... No problem. We still have the draft. We still got June 1st cuts. No reason to spend it all now. Porters on his last leg if you followed his game last year. Clemenson out of AFC. Thomas is a problem but sense when is this guy Lawerence Taylor. See how this GM went under the radar? That right there should calm people down. Finally we got a compitent front office. Now while people are spending like sailors maybe a guy like Rodney Harrison gets cut June 1st and a team like the Jets who only spent money on what they needed just might have ca space to team him up with Rhodes? Just relax and be happy that we will be in good position on June 1st if something should come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I too was a little disappointed that we didn't even make a offer. I think Jet fans would be happy if the front office at least had a dog in the fight. I know it would be insane to sign those guys for that much money, but if you don't even try you won't know.

JohnnyCans Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Going into this offseason we were not 1 player away from the Super Bowl.

JonEJet Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Salary Cap. Everyone has the same salary cap....others are trying to win at all costs....see the Broncos, Pats, Seahawks These teams for whatever reason find the money....we need more stars on both sides of the ball. WE just aren't that talented of a team......how do we stack up with some of the elite team?

As a fan, don't give me this **** about worry about the salary cap.....now obviously the Skins have not been successful, but they've figured out how to sign anyone and everyont they want You tell me we can't? the increased cap is making FA absolutely crazy this year. this off-season is throwing league salaries completely out of wack. how can nate clements be the highest paid defensive player in the league? he isn't even the best at his position. these teams are making a terrible mistake by "bidding" on the open market for these players. the jets core philosophy of building through the draft and retaining their own players will pay dividends in the long-run. in hindsight the jets got great value with cotchery and b thomas by signing them to early extensions. wes welker - 5 years $18.1M jerricho cotchery - 5 years $19M joey porter - 5 years $32.5M (20M gauranteed) bryan thomas - 5 years $25M (9M gauranteed) just as an fyi - in the 3-4 thomas and porter had pretty similar seasons in 2006.

Those teams are spending money sure, but at what cost? They will run out fo cap room and not be able to sign anyone else. Our team is not 1-2 players away from being a 14 win superbowl champ, we have a lot of holes to fill so the best thing to do is let teams go get ripped off for the first week or so, then come in and scoop up all the GOOD, not great players. 5-6 GOOD players will help a team more than 1 or 2 GREAT players.

Good post. I agree. To a point. Cap room won't be a problem. This year. Down the road it might. I think those on a spending spree are couning on the continued rise of the cap. 5-6 GOOD players will help THIS team more than 1 or 2 GREAT players. Other teams that are closer and have squads full of GOOD players (Pats, Broncos) will be helped more by 1 or 2 great ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 In FA or otherwise, we broke the bank on: Neil O'Donnell Curtis Martin Kevin Mawae Mo Lewis Marvin Jones (Jones & Lewis were 2 of the 6 highest-paid LB'ers at one point) Vinny Testaverde Aaron Glenn Marcus Coleman Ray Mickens (particularly then, $3M/yr was breaking the bank for a nickel corner) Sam Cowart Curtis Martin (again) Shaun Ellis Chad Pennington DeWayne Robertson Superbowls reached: zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonJet Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 So what....don't you want a winner? C'mon, we pay the $$$$$ for the tickets.....Woody can spend some Clements go 80 mil. That is completely absurd. And Porter apparently got $20 mil guaranteed, which is definitely too much. I'm more concerned with improving the DL which desperately needs improvement. Our linebackers should be a much lesser concern than the DL or at CB. We do need a corner and getting Clements would have been great, but there is no way he is worth that much.
