Maxman Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 One of the worst starters. I love it. Can we just give him a plane ticket to Cleveland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kukirojas Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Jets extend Sheppard's contract February 28, 2009 A little side note about the Lito Sheppard trade: The Jets did re-work his contract, according to a league source. Originally, he had three years, $11 million remaining on his deal. I don't have all the particulars of the new contract, but I know the Jets extended it by a year and inserted "new" money into 2010. For now, his base salary for 2009 will remain at $3 million. In addition to Ravens S Jim Leonhard, who will be arriving tonight for a visit, the Jets also are expecting former Bills TE Robert Royal to visit this evening. This was first reported by Lisa Zimmerman on her blog, jettingaroundwithlisaz.blogspot.com, and later confirmed. Royal is an interesting player. He's got some receiving ability, as he caught 33 passes for 351 yards (both career highs) and a touchdown last season. The Bills cut him because of cap considerations (he was due to count $8 million) and he battled injuries last season. The Jets are looking for an every-down tight end to replace Chris Baker and complement pass-catching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdropOFvenom Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 He's always had the reputation as a great blocker, not sure about the penalties, although I'm sure someone can look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Royal tore us in the 1st game last season. At least I think he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 One of the worst starters in the NFL at any position. Royal has hands like patio blocks, fumbles too many of the passes he does catch, and gets flagged too often to justify his rep as a blocking tight end. Couldn't have said it any better myself. Robert Royal is horrendous, and I can't believe people pay him money to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
