BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Not only are the jets not on the verge of signing T-Holt, but apparantly they have no interest in him whatsoever. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=412 The Jets have "zero" interest in Torry Holt, according to the New York Daily News. Holt and the Jets made some sense because his old receivers coach, Henry Ellard, is now in New York, but apparently they won't even pursue "Big Game" if he's cut. The Jets are expected to use a first-day pick on a wideout. Source: New York Daily News Related: Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I know this is a cimini article, but I remember cannizaro reporting bart scott was flying back to baltimore to try to get more money from the ravens after visiting the jets turns out he was at the mall lets give it at least until he has been released before we throw dirt on him or pick out uniform numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Jets have no interest in Holt March 10, 2009 No T.O. No T.H. The Jets passed on Terrell Owens and they're passing on Torry Holt as well. With rampant speculation about a possible Holt-to-the-Jets move, I did some additional digging and learned the Jets have zero interest in the Rams' soon-to-be-jettisoned wide receiver. None. Zip. Nada. Oh, well, so much for that possibility. Holt-to-the-Jets seemed to make some sense, and I totally endorsed it yesterday in a blog post. After all, the Jets need another veteran receiver (just my opinion) and their new receivers' coach, Henry Ellard, used to be Holt's longtime position coach in St. Louis. The ideal marriage? Well, there apparently is an issue with Holt's durability, going forward. He has been an incredibly durable player in his career - only two missed games in 10 years - but there's some concern about his knees. I don't know. I think he could help the Jets, but what do I know? This will be the second Hall of Fame-caliber receiver the Jets have ignored, and I'm guessing they're not interested in Marvin Harrison, either. They stayed away from T.O. for obvious reasons, which means they're looking at a receiving corps of Jerricho Cotchery and a lot of question marks. The braintrust apparently feels it can fill the need by taking a receiver in the first or second round of the draft. Without Laveranues Coles, the current receiving corps looks like this (career numbers): Jerricho Cotchery 260 3260 12.5 13 TDs The Rest???????? 92 922 10.0 5 TDs * - Chansi Stuckey, Brad Smith, David Clowney, Wallace Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I did some additional digging and learned the Jets have .... a solid grasp on tempering rules, and won't tell a beat reporter they are interested in a player under contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 We had ZERO interest in Favre too last year. Remember ? Very true! But the thing that I don't like is all of the media basically chastising us for not going after TO and our non-interest in Holt. I understand we lack a true #1, but how will we ever figure out what the receivers on our roster can do if we constantly stick them behind aging, on the wrong end of 30 receivers like Coles and Holt. I understand the Rams sucked last year, but there is some serious concern with Holt and his knees. Personally, I have no problem going into the season with the receivers we have, plus a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I have a feeling we might not add an old FA receiver because Rex has the same mentality about the quarterbacks. If we don't put them in a big spot, we won't know if they can perform in a big spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
