New and Improved Free Agency Discussion and News Mega-Thread

Nothing about the jets d is "weak.". Lol you guys are nuts to insinuate that focusing on Nnamdi isnt wise. They still have pace, harris, pouha, scott, wilkerson. Not to mention EVERYONE want to play for Rex.

I believe that trying to keep some of the talent they have and not breaking the bank on an Aso is a smart move for the Jets (as much as I hate to admit they are right)

Jason La Canfora believes Gaither will sign with Oakland.

[thenewfeature06]

Man that would be pretty legit...he needs to work on his run blocking but he clearly can start from day 1.

Why do people who apparently have NO idea what is going on with the Jets insist on going on about our team?

Kenrick Ellis A) Is NOT a DE, B) Will NOT start for us. He will be the back up nose tackle.

I'm guessing our starting D-Line will be Wilkerson, Pouha, and then Devito or Pitoitua. Devito and Pouha are both beasts against the run, and Scott and Harris are two of the best run stuffing ILB's in the league. People will not be running against us.

Our only issue is pass rush, but I'm not too concerned, as last year Pace missed the first 4 games, and just didn't look healthy all year. He's not going to make us have a good pass rush, but with the amount of people we'd be able to bring, it shouldn't be a huge deal.

Santonio Holmes re-signs with NY for 5 years, $24 million, I believe. Not sure on the numbers just yet.

Also, Browns are interested in Usama Young

That was a must sign for the Jets. Especially if Edwards leave which most think he will. They still might need to sign another WR.

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi reports that the Jets will "focus" on signing free agent Nnamdi Asomugha "for the next 12 to 14 hours

I guess by tonight we will see what happens.

No way that's true. It's got to be 5 years, $24 million guaranteed...


And yes, that was a must make move for the Jets.

[K Train]

holmes deal supposed to be worth up to 50 million

</3

Michael Lombardi had the dumbest reason for the Nnamdi signing. Something about he played for Rob Ryan so naturally he wants to play for Rex? What?

Lombardi and La Canfora are both atrocious. Can't believe they let schefter go.

[DiG]

take it for what its worth:

TKextremeskins TK
#skins close to finalizing jenkins

could mean cullen or jarvis rookie deal.

[FuzzyGopher]

AdamSchefter Adam Schefter
Santonio Holmes early numbers: 5 years, $50 million, including $24 million guaranteed, thought to be highest guarantee given to a WR.

lol. Yeah woops.

I think it's Cullen, though. They were in talks with him last night.

I would have liked him on Dallas...but re-signing Bowen is much bigger for us. I would rather Bowen start than Jenkins anyway. Bowen's got some real nice potential, and his bull rush is one of the best in the league.

[Hines]

Jets better hope Holmes says no to the weed.

[M.O.T.H.]

Steelers, Bears, Bills, Hawks all in contact with Willie Colon.

Eric Weddle said he will be making his decision later today.

They didn't let him go. Schefter left. ESPN paid him a lot more money than the NFL Network could afford.

Players aren't the only people who go where the money is at. We all do.

[M.O.T.H.]

Yeah, ESPN bought Schefter.

that will buy a lot of weed

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

I still don't understand why there is only talk of VY being a backup. Really hope the eagles clean out the cardinals when they trade Kolb to them. He would look great throwing to Fitz and of course in the open NFC west. Competing against Bradford, Clipboard Jesus, and Alex "my hands are so tiny" Smith.

[DeepThreat]

Sounds like Jenkins to WAS is done. Rice is probably going to SEA or MIN (Houshmanzadeh, anyone?), Nnamdi to NYJ, DAL or HOU, and the Browns are leading for Ray Edwards. He will wait to see offers from PHI and ATL though.

Nnamdi to Dal? you mean Bal?

[DeepThreat]

No. Dallas is going after him hard. Rob Ryan wants him back.

[M.O.T.H.]

Dallas doesnt seem like a player for Nnamdi, despite what the media says.

Dallas seems more concerned with signing Weddle and Elam. And re-signing their own players, ala Kosier and Bowen.

They also need to find a replacement RG for Leonard Davis.
