We are not signing these guys

Maybe Bart Scott, but AEC is right, we don't have he cash

Says who?

No official #'s for 09' are out in terms of the JETS total and the new CAP... not to mention if there is someone that can be had... money will be moved around to get them...

Its all a matter of will it help the team...

If Peyton Manning was available to the JETS for 25 Million, you dont think they would make it happen?

Anything is possible... deals will be re-done to make moves happen.

Really? Unless that cap goes upto 150, you guys are hurting.

You know Suggs is absolutely not going anywhere no matter what it takes. Lewis is getting up there and looking for his last big payday. I don't think he'll be worth the money he'll demand to any other team. Bart Scott I think would be a good choice. Barton is heading out the door and that puts a big hole right next to Harris in the middle of our 3-4. Scott will come the cheapest of the 3 without a doubt, knows the system and would certainly fill a need.

Well said and agreed on all counts.

With those three, I'm sure there wouldn't be too big of a production drop moving the fastest one to OLB. Either way, it's all a pipe dream.

It would obviously never happen, but I'm not sure it even should. Which of those guys can effectively rush the passer from the OLB or are big enough to regularly take on OTs? Sure Harris had some success as a rusher from ILB his rookie year, but playing the OLB spot every down is a different story. I'd rather just get Scott, pair him with Harris in the middle, Pace at OLB and get some sort of rotation between Thomas and Gholston at the other OLB that can effectively work for us.

That's kinda the way I picture it. But also, Barton had a great year, and he's too valuable to not keep. I think keeping him around as a depth player and letting him rotate at ILB behind Harris and Scott is a good idea.

It'll be interesting to see what capacity Bryan Thomas has with us, I'd like to see how Ryan and Pettine feel about his strengths. This draft is so deep at the OLB/DE position that I wouldn't be surprised to see another OLB brought in through the draft to challenge Gholston for ROLB.

I agree completely, and if Gholston begins to come around on top of that, we would have a very powerful LB corps who could stuff the run and rush the passer.

Though as war said, it is all a pipe dream for now.
