Jets | Team signs Chatham Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:19:28 -0800 Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports the New York Jets have signed free agent LB Matt Chatham (Patriots) to a three-year contract. No financial terms were disclosed, but the contract was described by agent Paul Sheehy as a "hybrid" in which Chatham, who had four career starts in six seasons with New England, can cash in if he wins a starting LB job in head coach Eric Mangini's defense.
funny thing is he can out-throw noodle arm, and he plays lb! maybe the incentives are based on how many snaps he takes.......:lol:
Hey, he may not be Lavar Arrington, but there is so much good in signing a player like this: -He has played for Mangini/a winning franchise -He is a versatile player who can play special teams/provide depth/push for a starting job -Most people probably don't care about this signing, so any production he gets will come as a bonus to us. -He probably won't cost that much. -He has experience in the 3-4. Solid first signing by Tannenbaum...
Nothing against your post, but people were singing the same praise for the Legree signing last year too
Sure I can. Mike Vrabel. Vrabel's a great linebacker. What does that have to do with a special teams player like Chatham who left NE because Belichick told him he just plain isn't talented enough to play linebacker on a regular basis? He won't be missed in Foxboro.
Isn't he 29 years old? It's a good signing, but even if he plays well next year he will already be in his thirties... I still like the signing...I just whish he was younger.
Right, but he will be 29 before the year starts...I am not worried about his age because I doubt he will be starting after this year.
