SteveNap Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 as per Cimini: Jets target Ivy, look to trade for Sheppard February 27, 2009 D. Rex is at it again. Now that former Ravens ILB Bart Scott is in the fold, new Jets coach Rex Ryan has turned his attention to the secondary. They have targeted free-agent CB Corey Ivy, formerly of the Ravens, and are confident they can get a deal done. But here's the big one - they're working on a trade for Eagles CB Lito Sheppard, according to league sources. In fact, Sheppard is due to visit tomorrow with the Jets. The former first-round pick has one year remaining on his contract, with a base salary of $3 million, but he has been looking to be traded ever since the Eagles signed CB Asante Samuel last offseason. Sheppard would step in as a starter, opposite Pro Bowl CB Darrelle Revis. Ivy will be a nickel back, his role with the Ravens. Terms of Ivy's deal weren't immediately available. It's unclear what the Jets would be willing to part with for Sheppard. Meanwhile, here's a breakdown of Scott's contract. The 6-year deal includes about $22 million in guarantees, with $27 million coming in the first three seasons. It's believed the Ravens offered a 6-year package for $45 million. His agent, Harold Lewis, claims that Scott never wavered in signing with the Jets, and that he never went back to the Ravens to squeeze more money out of them. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/jets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Turns 28 in a little over a month. He'd be a great pickup if he can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How old is Sheppard? He is only 27. Good player, has a history of injury bug. But he was healthy all last year. I'd like to see it if the Jets don't have to give up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 does this mean he wants to be a jet? No. It means that now that he is one, and they're giving him 48 million dollars, he's going to say all the right things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Younger than I thought. If he is under contract with the Eagles, how can he visit the Jets tomorrow? Probably because the Eagles granted him and his agent permission to seek a trade suitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
