Gen X Jet Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 While I can appreciate the Jets position here, they shouldn't have drafted the guy if they were concerned about the legal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 While I can appreciate the Jets position here, they shouldn't have drafted the guy if they were concerned about the legal issues. Right? This is something they might have taken care of before they drafted the guy. Jeesh! This stuff gets worse and worse this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 WHOA! If We're not signing him to a standard deal because the Jets are worried about his legal concerns, then that must mean...The Jets are worried about his legal concerns. Funny. They said they weren't concerned with his pending criminal case when they drafted him. Somebody's either really dumb, or lying their asses off. Considering several scouts had him listed as "undraftable" because of his issues, legal, moral, scholastic and otherwise, Tanny better have done his homework. Here's hoping he's using the court case to get himself a bad-guy discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus One Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I guess Tanny finally got around to Googling the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Jets did a ton of research pre-draft about his pending legal problems, and decided it was a good calculated risk. Like the Pats giving up a 5th rounder for Haynesworth. All these tweets mean is that they are probably going back and forth with him / his agent about clauses in the contract that protect the Jets. Not a big deal at all, it just takes longer because its not as straight forward and probably has additional lawyers eyes on it on both sides. OMG our Front office is a JOKE!!!! WAHHHH WahAHWWAAHhhhh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen X Jet Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I bet the minute this guy got drafted by the NFL, the southern hick prosecutor and judge got hard ons for a big career-making conviction. That's why there's been no plea to date for an otherwise mundane bar fight case, IMO. I just hope he doesn't get deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 We should have taken him with our last pick, honestly he was going to be there. This is like taking a kicker in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAHHHH WahAHWWAAHhhhh!!!! Signing draft picks seems like it's more of a foregone conclusion now with the rookie wage scale. They're getting signed so much faster.

GREENSMACKS Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 well looking on the bright side. the jets would be the first team in nfl history to draft a player who got deported before he ever played a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
