SayNoToDMC Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Unless it has a clause in it that he needs to keep his **** sucker closed, it better be a deal to send him someplace else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistalava Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Sign him then trade him. I, for one, am tired of his sorry act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets1Fan Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Sign him then trade him. I, for one, am tired of his sorry act. I never thought the day would come when I would say this, but I really want to get rid of Levraneus Coles and go ahead and get good draft pick(s) WR-HARDY AT #36 OR FROM #6 TRADE DOWN!!!!

4HCrew Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I cannot wait to see these numbers...does it come with guarantees that he will not bitch and moan during camp this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Honestly I've never really been a fan of coles. Up until recently I was kind of in the middle, now I could care less if he packs his bags and heads out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Jet1121 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Laveranues Coles negotiating with Jets The Jets and the representatives for unhappy wide receiver Laveranues Coles are close to hammering out a compromise in a contract stalemate that would result in the veteran reporting to the team's voluntary offseason workouts later this week or early next week, according to someone familiar with the ongoing negotiations. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he's not authorized to speak publicly for the team. It's unclear what type of agreement the Jets and Coles are nearing, but the person characterized it as a "win-win for both sides." Coles' agent, Roosevelt Barnes, was unavailable for comment. The Jets don't comment on contract talks per team policy. Coles, who is seeking a long-term deal, was a no-show yesterday for the first day of the Jets' offseason program. -- Newark Star-Ledger Now hopeful he can stop whining once he gets a new deal!

Bravejamriot Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 hopefully all they do is gaurantee him the 11 million he had coming in the next two years, and extended the rest. If they do that then they can cut him in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Jet1121 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 sorry but its time to move on from LC...he will always be unhappy. I agree but we need to patch this team on for a playoff run in 08 so make the deal happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Why the hell are they giving him a new contract? He's not a no 1 WR and he doesn't deserve to get paid like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Actually, I think we'd be better off letting him go and pursuing a real #1 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebers Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The problem with just cutting ties with LC is that he's so well respected in that locker room and getting rid of him you run the risk of losing the team. I think Mangini realizes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Coles and Chad for KC's 1st round pick. It probably won't happen but that looks even better than it did even then (and it was already highway robbery back then too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I don't think LC has ever been a problem in terms of on-field motivation, never been lazy in that sense. We should reverse this on him, if he's talking such a big game then can we put performance based incentives in the contract? IE, if you perform like a #1 receiver, we'll pay you like it? Call his bluff, if he really thinks he's worth that let him show it. If he can actually go out and grab 15+ TDs and 1500+ yards, I don't see any harm in paying him the big bucks.

stoicsentry Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I understand that LC has had a mouth as of late.. he's gotten older (still younger than Moss or TO) and has had some injuries... but I'm a tad bit confused when people say he's not a #1 receiver. Suppose you threw all existent WRs into a pool, and all NFL teams had to re-draft receivers in the same way they re-draft rookies. To me, a #1 would be somebody who gets pick in that top 32. Am I wrong? And there's no way he wouldn't get picked in that top 32, that first round.. no way in hell. Sorry for the double post, I think I meant to post this on the other Coles thread. Not sure how that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I must agree. I'm getting tired of his act. Let's not forget that he left once before for more $$. Let's see how long he is happy with this new deal.

Those are, to the best of my knowledge, expressly prohibited in NFL contracts. You can not tie compensation to performance.

Am I wrong? And there's no way he wouldn't get picked in that top 32, that first round.. no way in hell. Sorry for the double post, I think I meant to post this on the other Coles thread. Not sure how that happened. That just means there aren't 32 #1 WRs in the NFL then. You don't just designate a guy #1 because he's the #1 WR on that team. It's more of a talent demarcation. For instance, in baseball, a pitcher is considered an "Ace." It doesn't mean if your #1 guy on a ****ty team is ****ty he's suddenly an Ace. It also doesn't make an Ace on a deeper rotation a non-Ace. That's the thing about Coles. He is not #1 WR potential in talent. The NFL might not have even 20 of those types. 20 go-to guys. There are some TEs that fill that role on some teams too, just because there's a WR there doesn't make that change either. Coles is a #2 type, maybe a bottom tier #1, which is hard to consider a #1 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Coles and Cotchery are a pretty darn good tandem of WR's. It's just a pity that they're basically the same WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that happened. Never happen. You can tie smaller bonuses to making the pro bowl or leading the league in a category, but it wouldn't be much anyway. Not to mention, you can't have a receiver say "I refuse to run clear routes" because his compensation is tied to his own stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
