    Great. Now get Butler in here, or draft Jones.

    Decent stopgap move by the Jets at LB. Barnes will play for a year or two instead of one of the ancient guys.

    No way this is part of the rebuild though. Barnes is 30 in October of 2014.

    This is like an Osi-lite move. Bring in a cheap vet who knows how to get to the QB and make him part of your overload in that department for next year.

    I love the new system, you know exactly what your clicking on. As with our roster, people whine with any change. Pace, Scott and Thomas were old.slow and needed replaced, now we are gutting the team. Can't win I guess.

    Barnes is a good signing. We've added a RB, guard, NT, and OLB in free agency. Right now we badly need some saftey help, but things are not as bad as some make them out to be. We are building a roster that can compete today without hampering our future too badly.

    Absolutely. In a Rex system I see this guy being just as productive as Kruger will be for the Browns and for a fraction of the cap space. I like this signing.

    This is a good move. Barnes is a quality linebacker who is only a season removed from being a real presence as a pass rusher.

    Or both. Just because we added a body or two should in no way affect our draft board. If we can get a vet saftey or two we are setting ourselves up nicely to draft purely off our board and not worry about filling out the 2013 roster.

    It's a great signing considering he's going to do what Scott/Pace were being paid a lot more to do... and he can actually DO it (I shouldn't count my chickens, I know). Cost-effective moves that can turn out to be real bargains. Idzik is 2 for 2 so far.

    Pumped with this signing. Go for Butler to give us more flexibility in the draft.
