    Nice, he was awful.

    If we cut the right players and Favre retires, the Jets should have decent money to spend in FA.

    Not surprising. That money can be much better spent.

    Bout time.

    If I remember correctly, he was our fall back option after Winfield spurned us.
    Boy did that turn out badly or what.

    You guys that want to release Coleman are hilarious.

    He's pretty good against the run. He's not supposed to get that many sacks...that's not his job in this system.

    Releasing him would kill the little to no depth we have at defensive end.
