We got TJ for essentially a 3rd rounder 3 seasons ago. He would be 3 years older and I highly doubt a team would give up a 3rd rounder for him. If they offer it, I would be very happy if the Jets took the deal
Keels fails to understand his job. He is hired to negiotiate and provide his client with sound and prudent advice. So we are left with 2 possibilities both of which make Keels look like an incompetent rube : 1) He advised Leon to accept the Jets final offer and Leon refused - this seems to be the scenario Keels is selling that he told Leon to take the deal and Leon didn't trust Keels so he balked. This scenario makes Keels look like an incompetent agent who isn't trusted even by his own clients. 2) he advised Leon to reject the Jets final offer. In this scenario Keels looks like a moron because the Jets made an excellent and fair offer and because as we have seen RBs aver very injury prone and so there was a distinct possibility that Leon's value would depreciate. If Keels failed to graps this fundamental aspect to his negotiating position he is a moron and should not be trusted.
The irony behind Keys saying it's a race thing is that this entire board, black, white, green, or whatever everyone is (I am black) is that we are were all pissed with the organization (Tannenbaum and Woody are white, unless something has changed) for not paying Leon (last I checked he was black) and we are more enraged that Leon is now hurt and still has the same contract. If it was racism, nobody would give a rats ass if Leon got paid. As a matter of fact, people would be happy it it was a race thing that Leon got hurt and didnt get his $$...............if that makes any sense.
Keels is what is wrong with a large segment of black (and even white) America -- instead of looking at their OWN faults, they cry and blame 'racism.' I had hoped that would be flushed down the toilet now that Obama is in the WH but I guess not. Leon won't be applying for food stamps anytime soon (he still should have banked a few hundred thousand the last few years) but the payday setting himself up for life -- which is what Keels should have been focusing on -- is unfortunately gone.
