Bart Scott gives Ravens a chance to match

that is asinine. the Jets wanted him there. what is he supposed to do, just take whatever offer they make just because he's there?

 

You think this is holding up the front office pushing other possible signings aside?

 

I think it is, this is a mess.. The jets to end this are gonna have to doing something absurd. This exactly what you never want to happen.. Unreal, only the jets....

 

Of course it is and I am sure he has been given an ultimatum..hell, I don't like it but we will probably sign Lewis if he goes back to the Ravens. They don't have the money for both.

 

^Right. And at the same time, I've read earlier news blurbs that he was SIGNED. I wish the sports media would be able to hold off until something is definitive (in general). I realize it's all a part of the business and they're all trying to trump one another, but it's annoying to have things change every hour or so. NFLfanouse.com said @ 9:42 a.m. he was signed, baltimoreravens.com said @ 10:12 a.m. 'Bart Scott signs with Jets', the sportsnetwork said @ 12:12 p.m. the Jets were on the verge of signing him, The New Post sports blog says it's a done deal...

EDIT: GAH! This already jumped two pages since I said '^Right.' Nevermind.

 

Ravens top Jets offer

The Baltimore Sun passes along speculation that the Ravens are now offering Bart Scott a five-year, $42 million contract.
That's $2 million more than the Jets' offer. Scott also reportedly wants to be assured that he will be the "center piece" of the new defense, which means he would be taking over Ray Lewis' spot. Scott is still negotiating with both clubs.

 

at this point it might be good to look at other LB just in case how about Michael Boley from Atlanta

Scott just created a bidding war.....smart guy....i personally hate him for it....but he wants to get top dollar...can't say i blame him.

EDIT: and for the people who are surprised by this....take a look at my sig....

 

Mike Boley is almost too small to play in the 4-3 - how do you think he'll do in the 3-4?

C'mon guys - stop throwing out random names.

 

Boley is a 4-3 LB...doesn't fit the scheme.

 

F-him,
Find someone else, he isn't worth the BS.

 

All this money and nobody to spend it on....haha.

 

what the hell happened to this economy???????? Damn bidding wars and damn JETS. GET EM REX

 

espn news now talking

 

stop hating on Bart Scott, it's the agents that pull this crap not the players

 

how is 10 pds lighter and 1 inch taller not big enough?

 

i have a bad feeling about this whole scenario

 

What's the funny part of this?

 

No - this time it's Scott. His agent wanted him to play for the Jets. Scott feels he owes something to the Ravens.

 

Because people have already given up on their old employer. And both sides have resentment.
