We could have gotten him for pennies when he was actually worth a shit if fathead Rex hadn't shot his mouth off after that preseason game.
Uh, hell no. What would we do with another severely overpriced over-the-hill receiver? Also, we have much higher priorities than another receiver. Current positions of need greater than WR (in no particular order): 4 o-linemen, a TE, RB, QB, punter, ILB, OLB, 2 CBs, FS).
Why pay more for something that you can get the same production from through the draft for a lower price and a higher upside?
That would be so Jet-like to sign a great player whose best days are behind him. We are the one of the most popular stops on the Hall of Famer farewell tour.
My thoughts exactly. I don't want him. But we will probably add him to the list of Ronnie Lott, Boomer, Plax, LT, Jason Taylor, Ed Reed, Ty Law, etc. Feel free to add some more as I'm sure I missed some.
You missed a big one in Darrelle Revis. Looking back, that's what his signing really was. We all thought it was something else (me included), and he was paid like it was something else, but really it should have been an LT-type signing. Short money, end of career. It's not the worst thing in the world for these veterans to want to come here, as long as you get the ones who have a year or two to give. Most of those players were good here, with the exception of Ed Reed who was clearly cooked (and I have no clue what Plaxico Burress is doing on that list). Key is to only sign them for short money, and be ruthless in getting rid of them when they are cooked.
Some of them were solid. Jason Taylor and LT were nice pieces. Ty Law had a great year on a horrible team. What's the confusion with Plax? Because he isn't a Hall of Famer I'm assuming, right? In that case your right.
