assume Smith is gone so to me it's about the big 3 FAs. As long as we get 2 of them I'm ok, I'd prefer the 2 WRs but as long as we got 2 of the big 3 back back. I appreciate everything Brad did, I'd like him back but he's going to want more money than we can spend so I wish him good luck in the future as long as he doesn't go to NE, Mia or NYG. __________________ I agree 100%
start writing my suicide note. or at least some of you would publish yours here. anyways we'll keep at least 1 of edwards or holmes.
I'm resigned to losing at least one of them. Just too much money potentially tied up between the three of them. I'm hoping we keep at least 2 of them.
Have you not seen the latest news about Cromartie? He's going to demand a shit ton of money. A #2 corner is not worth that much, especially with so much cash invested into Darrelle Revis. If it's possible, this team needs to keep Edwards and Holmes for Mark Sanchez's sake.
He's waiting for Asomugha to "set the market", which is smart on his part, but the Jets won't be able to afford him. Hopefully this allows Tannenbaum to make better deals with Holmes and Edwards though. It's time to move on from Cromartie. Our secondary will need to be revamped a little - backup safeties and corners are needed. Kyle Wilson will step up into a starting role. I wonder if the Jets will let Brodney Pool walk and go after Dawan Landry? When the lockout finally ends, free agency is going to be nuts.
It's not going to happen... but wouldn't it be hilarious if Aso accepts less money to be on a contender? I think no team will give him what he's (presumably) asking for...
Not getting any of the big three back would bother me. Brad smith I've already said goodbye to and moved on from him being a jet
I don't think this scenario is beyond the realm of possibility. If there are teams out there that want to pay these guys $10 million + per season... so be it. I don't see it happening that way, especially not with Braylon. But it's not inconceivable. Honestly, if I'm Tanny, and I just found out that Santonio, Braylon and Cro all signed elsewhere, my first phone call is to Damien Woody's agent. If Mark Sanchez is going to have a completely new set of receivers, I want to maintain as much continuity as possible with the rest of the offense. I'm cautiously optimistic about the Vlad Experiment if and only if it's the one big change to the unit.
Tampa is the team that should scrare other teams.They have almost 60 million to spend. Imagine if they get Cro, Aso and Braylon.
Yeah, signing Woody would make me feel better about losing 4 starters or so. We were going to keep Woody ever since the off season was cancelled. Oh well, lose Holmes, Cro, Poole, Smith (2) lets sign our RT. We could go from a 15-1 Super Bowl Contender to 40-1 and be a fringe playoff team. We just cant compete financially with other teams, not after signing Revis, Mangold and Dbrick and Harris next. We can get our cap down, but we would be in Cap hell for years if we paid Holmes and Cro Revis type money. I don't blame the players, and I know the Jets will try to pay sign the top guys, but our luck this has to be the year we have all these FA's and teams, who are under the cap 30-40 million dollars, have to fill their cap to 90% and quickly. The dark sider has closed the windows, pull down the shades and shut the lights off. Cotchery can not be our 2nd receiver and Dwight Lowery our starting CB. Please, not that again
