dolphann4life Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 One final question for you. Fine, I admit he's not this top-tier amazing, best-in-league type of guy... But in FA is he BAP at his position? If that's the case you'll have to pay him the money, goes back to the point that in FA, everyone gets overpaid. Like you said, we got "our" guy. I think he's got lots of upside to him considering he's in a system where he's been coached under that specific coach. He's worked with both Ryan and Pettine. Your correct. He is def one of the BAP at his position in this FA class. The signing makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Here's from Cimini's blog Source: Scott Agrees to Five-Year Deal February 27, 2009 All they need now is a thumb's up from Bart Scott. The Jets and the former Ravens linebacker have agreed in principle on a free-agent contract, a league source tells the Daily News. Scott, one of the most coveted free agents in the NFL, will sign a five-year deal for about $40 million. The Jets outbid the Ravens by $500,000 per year, based on the offer that was presented to him late last night by Baltimore. Scott, who arrived in Florham Park, N.J., this morning, currently is visiting with team officials at One Jets Drive. He will be reunited with his former Ravens defensive coordinator, Rex Ryan. Scott's agent, Harold Lewis, is waiting for the go-ahead from his client to start the paperwork. At this point, that's a formality. Scott, 28, will be inserted in the middle of Ryan's 3-4 defense, starting alongside David Harris at inside linebacker. Essentially, the Jets chose Scott over his more heralded, but older teammate, Ray Lewis, who would've been their fallback choice.

Green DNA Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Here's from Cimini's blog Thank goodness, the board would have collapsed if this fell through. There is still time for him to get cold feet, but once he tours the Jets facility and sits down face to face with Rex, I'd be shocked if he backs out.
