124 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 from Dave Hutchinson: http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/02/jets_to_release_guard_brandon.html NOTES -In addition to cornerback, linebacker and quarterback, the Jets are considering taking a wide receiver with their first-round pick. -The Jets like Illinois CB Vontae Davis but he has character issues. -The Jets are scheduled to meet with the agents for WR Laveranues Coles and unrestricted free agent LB Eric Barton this weekend in Indianapolis. -Asked when he thinks his defense will be as good as the Ravens' feared unit, Ryan said, "I think next year. We only need to add one or two guys. The foundation is already there." -Asked if there's another Ray Lewis in the draft, he quipped, "I think there's somebody who has the first name."

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So in addition to CB, LB and QB the Jets are also thinking of taking a WR with the first pick. I really love how these guys go out on a limb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno the Jet Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Will Coles and Barton restructure? I assume that is why the Jets are meeting with their agents. It sure would be nice to add even more to the cap, but we have been down this road with Coles before. Barton OTOH might be willing to reduce his pay to stay.

Barton is a UFA, so he has nothing to renegotiate, according to the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Barton is an UFA, they are probably just getting a jump on ta;ls, telling him what he's worth to the team and what Rex thinks of him, while they have sole negotiating rights to him for the next week or so.

124 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I would like to resign Barton as an insurance policy just in case Bart Scott ends up resigning with Baltimore or signing elsewhere (like Miami where they have a huge question mark at Inside Linebacker as well).

But I dont see scott going to a very hot field like that and knowing hes in the same division as his favorite coach.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont see scott going to a very hot field like that and knowing hes in the same division as his favorite coach.. Money talks. When Bart Scott was asked about Terrell Suggs' comment about how he and Lewis would join Suggs in taking a hometown discount Scott said he had wished Suggs had asked him that before making that comment because he isn't going to do that. If he doesn't have that kind of loyalty to the organization, I don't know if he'd have that strong of a loyalty to the coach once the money is on the table and Miami might offer a little more, plus, no state tax in Miami (or Florida for that matter) so he'll see more money there then he will here. That is why you saw Calvin Pace get $42 million from the Jets last year because of the NY taxes. Miami probably offered $30 and the Jets had to outbid by a lot to land him.

ECURB Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So we want Barton back... and they want to move Coles... thats what i gather from that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I would trade up for him. love that guy Can I ask why?? I have asked this question to every person who has displayed interest in drafting him and no one has answered me. I watch a lot of college football, so I've seen my fair share of USC games. He is a playmaker, lays the lumber and i love his heart. But, one of our biggest problems this year was our linebackers in coverage. Now, if we didn't already have a great player in Harris I would say Rey Rey would be a viable option, but he doesn't compliment Harris well at all. He has stiff hips, isn't great in coverage and his range is limited. I don't want people to get the idea that I don't like him, becuase I think he's a fantastic prospect. But, I don't think drafting another stud ILB at the 17 spot is good value. ILB is usually not a glory position and one where you need two first rounders or a first and a second. It's why Harris was a stud in his first year, you don't need to be an unreal talent to succeed on the inside in this scene. When we have other glaring needs such as CB and WR, I don't see the value for ILB at 17, when you could get someone like Jasper Brinkley or Worrell Williams later in the draft. I just don't think that the difference between Rey Rey and Brinkley or Worrell is greater than the difference than Vontae Davis or DJ Moore and the second tier CBs or Maclin/DHB/Harvin etc. and the second teir WRs. Especially WR, because we have a plethora of second teir and later roudn talent, yet noone elite. I just feel that our most pressing need is a WR who can roll coverages and alter defensive schemes. That presence will be felt much more than another ILB, in my opinion. But, I keep an open mind and like hearing different opinions. If there's some validity to really taking Rey Rey than I'll have to go back and look some more...Granted this point could be moot if we sign Scott.

Ghost Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We need to address the receiver issue. I feel like Leonard and Bart Scott will sign with us but we need a good wideout to help our young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
