I would definitely take Ocho over a lot of other options if we cannot resign both Braylon and Holmes. He obviously needs to come for the right price as well. I don't think Chad will ever be what he was in his prime but I think getting out of Cincy will be a huge resurgence for him. I also think this is where Rex becomes so invaluable. You worry a little less about these types of guys with Rex at the helm, not that he's this miracle worker but you just trust that he can handle these guys and get the most out of them. Again, at the right price. I also don't think you could rule out the option of Braylon, Holmes AND Chad. I know it's a long shot but it's something to consider. I don't think he would be looked at as JUST a replacement but maybe as an addition. Darrelle Revis doesn't want to cover Chad Ochocinco anymore. "I want Chad to come here and play for us, to be a Jet," Revis told New York Metro leading up to the Super Bowl. "I've been in his ear a lot about it this week. ... I think he could do well here. I've been telling him to come here." The Jets could be in the market for wide receivers, with Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Brad Smith heading toward free agency in an uncertain NFL labor climate. Ochocinco is currently with the Bengals but reportedly looking for a way out of Cincinnati. He reportedly thought about returning to his former surname Johnson but changed his mind back. Revis and Johnson often correspond on Twitter, and the Jets cornerback wore an OCNN T-shirt -- for Ochocinco News Network -- during Super Bowl Week in Texas. Ochocinco, who last month expressed a desire to play for Rex Ryan, did not comment on it while in Texas. “I cannot speak about that right now,” Ochocinco told New York Metro. He and Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis seemingly are at odds. The team replaced offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski this offseason. "I'm under contract as a Bengal, and I always will be until (owner) Mike Brown or anyone else says, 'Your services are no longer needed here.' Period," Ochocinco told NFL.com last month. Ochocinco is under contract with the Bengals through next season, so he would have to be cut or traded to join the Jets. He also has said he wants to join the Patriots. At last year's Pro Bowl, reports said Revis had similar conversations with Raiders cornerback Nnmadi Asomugha, who is now a free agent. Revis this offseason also said he would like free agent cornerback Antonio Cromartie to stay with the Jets.
I don't think he's gonna be to happy about a GMs starting salary.... First GM to ever hold out of TC?

Lol shut up Darrelle. With the second best corner actually on the market, you lobby for us to keep Cro and sign Ocho Stinko?
here's the thing though, and not that I necessarily want Chad here but I think he's at the point in his career where he's made enough money and now wants to start winning. Obviously he's not gonna come here for free but I think he would take less to go to a good team that has a chance to win rather than taking the most money to play for a bad team.
All that told me was that he cares more about money than winning. Now he's campaigning for the Jets to sign all these guys ... maybe he just doesn't understand what his massive salary does.
He's 33 making about $5 million now, I want no part of it. Even if he takes a pay cut I still wouldn't want him.
