RSJ Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3435522 Jets to talk with agent for Coles Thursday Story Tools: Print Email XML Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com Posted: 11 minutes ago The Laveranues Coles-for-Santana Moss trade has been jump-started... again. FOXSports.com has learned that the Jets have continued to keep a dialogue open with Coles and the team is scheduled to talk to Coles' agent Thursday morning regarding terms that could make the trade work. If the Jets and Coles side can come to terms on a new contract that both sides view as mutually beneficial the Jets will make the deal. Redskins sources also said they were keeping hope alive that a deal would get done in the end. "Yesterday there was a five-percent chance of this getting done," said one source close to the situation. "Now I really think it's 50-50. We'll see how talks go (Thursday)." Both Coles and now Moss are desperate to get this deal done. Otherwise, the Redskins will retain a player who clearly does not want to be on their team. The Jets will have a player who, like Coles, has become disappointed with his status on a club. It's expected that like Coles, Moss would also covet a new deal. Moss and Coles have actually talked about their swapping of locales. Coles has not only apprised the Redskins of his feelings, he was even at the Pro Bowl as a guest of Jets star DE John Abraham and has a great working relationship with QB Chad Pennington. Several people inside the league said yesterday they caught wind that talks had started again as Coles may be softening on his stance. The Jets are encouraged enough to give it one last try.

Maxman Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 If Coles is reasonable I am okay with this. I think the old contract had some BIG cap #'s in the last 2 seasons. So it would have to be redone anyhow. His damn foot is the only question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles better wake up. he is getting a second shot at being on a good team. He better accede and sign off on this mutha at a REASONABLE rate. If not, COLES-SLAW can go to hell..

bitonti Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 i still don't see how this would constitute an upgrade at the WR position moss is more explosive and scores way more TD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinlawyer Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 i still don't see how this would constitute an upgrade at the WR position moss is more explosive and scores way more TD... 1) Coles is one tough ganglang mutha who takes a tackle and keeps serving up those tough catches 2) you will NEVER see coles scampering to the sideline after a catch (unless we need to stop the clock) 3) besides his toe, when have you heard of injury issues with coles. With Tan its "I hurt my corn-row", "I hurt my hammy", "I think someone stepped on my feet on that crossing pattern" Bottom line is, Coles is a tough mothafukker and Tan is soft like a dollar store hoe. But speaking in rap terms, Coles is DMX (HARDCORE) and Santana is Will Smith (SOFTIE). LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Too much money for questionable health and do we really need him? I'd love to see what Dinger can do with Moss and Santana has huge incentive to have his biggest year yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
