BigOrangeJetFan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 With our win last night, do we now owe the Chargers our 2nd round pick this year? Believe that was the 8th TD caught vs Cromartie this year. Is he worth a 2nd rounder? Is he a free agent after this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 yes sir, it sure did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs someplace else, the Jets will receive a compensatory pick also (depending how FA plays out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 yes sir, it sure did and if we win a superbowl it will be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 and if we win a superbowl it will be well worth it. It'll be worth it if they knock the Pats off next week. If they don't, it won't be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yes, he is worth it. Let the Chargers get giddy about an extra #2 pick while Cro helps the Jets go to the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 not worth it when you consider we dropped a 1st rounder on wilson and now a 2nd on cro. all to play one corner spot which isn't being played very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Jets should sign Cro NOW while they can get him at a discount. Cro has mouths to feed, lots of mouths to feed. Even if the there is no football next season because of a lockout / strike Cro is still on the hook for child support in 5 states. If Tanny offered him a below market deal with a decent SB up front I think Cro would take it (at least Mrs Cro would take it) rather than face child support without income.

I'm pretty sure he could get a downward modification based upon his inability to earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm pretty sure he could get a downward modification based upon his inability to earn. couple issues there. One, he has to find a sympathetic judge. Two, it takes time to get through the legal system and in the meantime he has to continue making payments. if you remember when the Jets traded for Cro they advanced him some $$ b/c he was having cash-flow issues. Also, if you watch Hard Knocks you'll see Cro has either a live-in girlfriend or wife I can't remember which. How are you going to explain to your wife/gf and mother of some of your kids that you are turning down cash money today in hopes of a larger deal in the future....but in the meantime you won't be able to pay your bills? Trust me, Cro would take a below market deal with a SB given today's labor unrest. Jets may be averse to paying out a big SB for the same reason, but this is a great chance to sign him.

In NYC you do it with an Order to Show Cause - should appear in court in under 2 weeks - and no sympathy needed. Child support is based upon a simple percentage of earnings. With zero earnings, they will probably keep him on the hook for a minimal sum, but he will get a HUGE downward modification. The only way that they would not allow a downward modification in NY would be if they believed he was intentionally trying not to make money, such as with a holdout. I've done it hundreds of times. He might take a deal based upon the labor unrest, but that goes for plenty of guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTime Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Anyone have video of REX tearing Cro a new one, I missed it and would love to see it...We should all line up to slap him up like in the flick Airplane.

IN the meantime Cro is on the hook for payments in like 6 different states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN the meantime Cro is on the hook for payments in like 6 different states. The six states is what would probably drive him nuts. That six seperate attorneys and six seperate fees. He'd probably have to actually appear at most of them. Judges don't like non-appearances by unemployed guys though he could probably try to cry poverty on the airfare. Still it's chump change for these guys - probably $3-5K each action. He probably couldn't get the reduction until he stopped getting paid, but he also wouldn't need it until then and they'd have time to get the papers ready. It is still basically going to boil down to what his agent sells him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
