Shaun Ellis

We need to keep Ellis. You will not succeed in this league without a great DE, and he proved what kind of worth he has in the Patriots playoff game. He is a game changer when he shows up. Just wish he'd be a little more consistent is all.

 

yeah its called getting old.

 

Well there's that too.

 

Playing across from Dan Connolly helps also.

 

Look for Revis, Mangold, and Harris to all go out as Jets.

 

Oh I hope so. Of that list, I firmly expect Mangold to definately be a lifer. Revis I could see leaving late in his career as some other team overpays for him in his early 30's. Harris I'm not even sure if he will be here in 6 months much less a decade from now.

But if I had to pick 1 guy on the roster I was confident would be a lifer for us, it would be Sanchez.

 

Always have been a huge Ellis fan. He is one of those guys that would be a little painful to see in a different uniform.

Personally I think how Ellis comes back (if he does) depends on how the other signings before him go. If we get everyone back, I think we say goodbye to Ellis unfortunately unless he is willing to take a hefty pay cut compared to what he could make from another team.

If we have a problem keeping a few of high priority free agents, Jets brass sign him (sadly for more money than the previous scenario) as a type of mini crisis management to ease fan base with the return of arguably the teams most popular player.

 

Yea I agree on the Sanchez part. Our team and Rex's career path depends a lot on Mark. Could not be happier though, we took a chance on drafting a franchise qb and I think thats what we got.

 

I want him, he is one of my all time favorite Jets and he's 1.5 away from tying the Jet record and obviously 2 would break it.

As others have mentioned he deserves a ring, and I can't wait to see him hoist that trophy in Indy!

 

We have got to bring back number 92 Purple Haze.

 

I think you have to count stats from before '82 as well.. Gastineau had 107.5 total, Klecko had 77.5. So Ellis is 5 away from second on the list. I'm sure he could make it if he were given another year, and definitely if he's given another 2.

 

i want the Jets to get Ray Edwards from minny.shaun will have to sign for a very team friendly contract to come back in my eyes.to hell with signing long tenured players b/c they "deserve" a ring. shit I DESERVE A RING.
here is the list of free agent DE & DL

^ Ray Edwards is too small for a 3/4 defense i think.
