Miami quarterback Sage Rosenfels visited the Texans on Saturday and agreed to a four-year, $7 million contract. That deal included a $2 million signing bonus, according to an NFL source http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/14079945.htm
I'm excited. Living here in Miami, I have a soft spot for the Fins. They are my home-town team after all. Let it be Brees.... BREES TO CHAMBERS! TD!
:lol: :rofl: hopefully if the Dolphins get Culpepper he'll screw up like last year huh? :up: (except I don't hope that will happen...because my grandpa is a Dolphins fan and when I was little and stupid I was one too....until I came to my senses and became a Bronco fan.)
I hope whoever it is does well. It's better for the Jets to be in a division with 4 good teams than 3 weak ones and us (on the premise that we're working towards the Jets being good one day), especially in the view of hardening our team for the playoffs.
Per PFT, BREES DOESN'T WANT TO JOIN SAINTS The scuttlebutt in league circles is that quarterback Drew Brees doesn't want to join the Saints, but that he's talking to them in the hopes of driving up the offer made by his preferred destination, the Miami Dolphins. Word is that the Saints envision Brees as a short-term starter who would handle the job while Matt Leinart or Vince Young or Jay Cutler get ready to play. As a result, the Saints are offering the kind of deal that Kurt Warner signed two seasons ago in New York as Eli Manning got ready to play -- a two-year contract that is essentially a one-year deal. The problem is that the Fins don't want to pay the same kind of money in 2006 that the Saints are willing to invest. Instead, Miami is giving Brees the opportunity to earn big money over the long term. So the Saints are banking on Brees' shoulder being fully healed in time for the 2006 season, and the Dolphins are being more cautious. In the end, Brees' best play might be to take less money in the short term with an organization that is far better equipped to succeed over the long haul
That's an interesting theory, since it's usually a big advantage to be a division winner and get a first-round bye (Pittsburgh this year notwithstanding).
Why on earth would you the Jets want to be in a division of 4 good teams instead of being good and having 3 other bad division teams? Is some sort of strange Scottish logic I'm missing?
I almost hope Brees is signed by Miami so I can make fun of that caterpillar crawling up his face more.
Holy Moley. (Just pointing it out, but on the first page of a google image search for "drew brees", you get responses from outsports and femmefan.)
they're both injury type QB's now ... neither of them are sure promise or even close to it for being great... i'm not too worried, even though i think the phins win the afc east next year
Probably. 3 good divisional opponents = 6 tough games a year. Now on the premise that we all want the Jets to be the best team, the harder the regular season schedule the more prepared we are for the playoffs. Just my opinion, but I'd rather win a strong division than do what the Colts did this year and cruise through, but not have the toughness to perform in the post season. But 3 weak teams + the jets is good for me too.
Well I would rather go 6-0 in my division (regardless of the calibur of opponent) and make the playoffs than to go 3-3, miss the playoffs and lament our close losses in which "we played tough" I'll take my chances in the playoffs. Oh, by the way, if you go 6-0 in your division I promise you will get a HOME playoff game.
