I say sign scott, then take that 3 yr/24M offer to Lewis and make it 17.1M guaranteed and get us BOTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Supposedly the offer he didn't sign from Baltimore was for $7M/yr. Don't know how much of their offer was guaranteed & how much was back-loaded, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 In the frenetic moments after midnight, there were conflicting reports as to the destination of Ravens linebacker Bart Scott. Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com reported that Scott would join teammate Jason Brown with a visit to the Rams. Albert Breer of SportingNews.com reported on the PFT safe haven page at SportingNews.com that Scott would visit the Jets.

We're only signing one of them, there is no need for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Scott played outside since Thomas left depending on the defensive alignment Like we don't already have enough money tied up into OLB. We have glaring holes in other spots. Get Scott then start working on the other situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Scott played outside since Thomas left depending on the defensive alignment scott's pretty versatile. i trust ryan here. if this is the guy we sign, it means this is the guy ryan wants on his defense. ryan knows defense.......there will be nothing to complain about, imo. of course this is a jets fan sie...so there will be someone complaining i'm sure....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Scott is not an OLB. He's lined up inside and outside. I'd be happywith him playing either position. He's even said in his interviews.. "I am versitile and can play both positions. If a team slides me inside (implying he played OUTSIDE in the past), that running up the middle stuff stops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 sometimes guys just suck, and finances do not matter as much. who are we giving the olb job to then? and even if we got a guy like peppers, for instance, to play olb for us......for 550k we couldn't find a back-up olb as good as thomas anyway....so the cut just makes absolutely no sense.

"I am versitile and can play both positions. If a team slides me inside (implying he played OUTSIDE in the past), that running up the middle stuff stops" Thomas has played well in spurts (second half of 2006, first half of 2008). He is a good athlete. I'll take the chance that coaches who understand defense can get decent production out of him. Remember Ryan mentioned Thomas as "one of the foundation" of the defense. Little signs like that are significant. Giving the kind of money that Lewis will want at this point in his career would be insane for the Jets. As much as Ryan probably loves Lewis, I am sure he knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 they will probably lock him in the room, make a sick offer, and say you are not leaving until you sign. they will probably overpay for this guy because he has an attitude. sounds like Michael telling Kate about Johnny Fontaine's contract negotions between Luca Brasi and the band leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
