Leon Washington is one of the best weapons in the league. Why are they dragging him through what looks to be a contract dispute? Pay him now or risk losing him or paying more after he becomes a free agent. Personally I think he's worth more than Thomas Jones. Pay him.
Yeah, if this deal doesn't get done and we wind up losing him I am gonna be really upset at the Jets FO. This guy has done nothing to not deserve a contract extension.
they offered him 5 million which is plenty fair, worse comes to worse u franchise him in february and pay him 6.5 million next yr and work out an extension then
Leon has never started and he's reportedly been offered $5mil a year. I don't think it's the Jets this time. I think it's his agent. This issue has been discussed over and over again. Do a little research.
We will get em, no worries. Tanny knows how important he his to the team and to the fans. At this point you can't make a valid argument that he his better then Reggie Bush. I think he is hands down!!
Wow..he has 164 yards rushing and 48 more receiving in '09 and people want to pay him as much as Peterson gets..only Jets fans.
is that a lot?? peterson is on his rookie contract. yeah, they get a lotta guaranteed money but in terms of their salary per year, 6 million is not that much for a really good running back, is it?
Yeah, I would really be surprised if Leon doesn't turn out to be a Gang Green Lifer. It is not like the sides are miles apart. My gut feeling is that Leon is not too upset at this point and is confident something will get done. The only thing that worries me is he is putting himself at somewhat of a risj by not signing. Your next play could always end your career so I question his judgement on the offer that is currently on the table which is really quite fair. But, I am confident he will be a Jet. This is a close-up of Leon in the stall before the game.
Of course he is worth more than Thomas Jones. Jones is playing up to what he is earning right now 900k. Thats about what he looks like he is worth. Calling him one of the best weapons in the league at this point. I cant agree yet. Potential ? yes. He has no TD's through three weeks and he touches the ball a lot.
