The first part of this series got some very, very negative responses. A lot of people felt as though my approval of the holdout was pushing it. A lot of people felt that the facts that I provided weren't exactly facts...but they were, and I still stand behind everything I said. Darrelle was promised he would make more money than Nnamdi Asomugha (the highest paid cornerback). He said it himself in ...

Even after a dynamic offseason in which "Gang Green" added a number of playmakers to the team, they still get no love from the bookies, getting 12:1 odds to win it all this year. That puts them at seventh overall on the list, sitting behind the Colts (8:1), the Saints (9:1), the Chargers (10:1), the Pats (10:1), and Dallas (11:1). Okay, I understand why the Colts and Saints are favored over the ...

Originally published on: http://mtrmedia.com/jetsjive (The best source for Jets news, analysis, and insight on the web - Jets Jive) The New England Patriots, as expected, released Adalius Thomas yesterday. The veteran linebacker hasn’t meshed with the Pats at all and it was widely speculated that he would be a free agent at some point this offseason. The only question at this point is: are the Jets interested? Sources within the ...

Originally published on: http://www.mtrmedia.com/jetsjive (The best source on the web for Jets news and analysis) The Jets made some pretty surprising moves on the third day of the draft. Here’s some analysis and a grade for each of the draft picks and each of the roster moves they made over the last few days: Drafting Kyle Wilson (Grade: A-): The Boise State cornerback ...

You read that headline right. Per Jason Taylor's representatives, it seems as though the signing is no longer a matter of "if", instead just a matter of "when". Don't expect it to be official this weekend, but by the end of next week you should see Jason Taylor holding up a green and white jersey with his name on it. He might even make up with Fireman Ed too (but I ...

Jerry Hughes, defensive end out of Texas Christian University. You see that menacing purple monster that's about to nail Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore in the picture above? That's Jerry Hughes. And he is my selection in the Featured Columnist Mock Draft. I got an e-mail today telling me I was on the clock. Acting as the Jets general manager (something I've envisioned plenty of times before), I had to pick for ...

Antonio Cromartie in. Kerry Rhodes out. Nick Folk in. Lito Sheppard out. A few draft picks in, and Thomas Jones out. But have the Jets opened up more holes than they filled? If you asked me right after the season where the Jets need help, I would've told you (in order of importance): cornerback, linebacker who can pass-rush, safety, and wide receiver. I don't consider there to be a hole at running back that necessarily ...

The possibility of the Jets making a big offseason move is increasing rapidly. Thomas Jones is on the way out. His $3 million roster bonus will not be paid. Lito Sheppard will be following. His $10 million roster bonus will not be paid either. Don't let the door hit them on the way out. With an uncapped 2010 season on the way, I started wondering why the Jets won't hold on to a ...

Many of you may disagree with me, but the Jets have a big hole at free safety. Kerry Rhodes was supposed to become a superstar under Rex RyanÆs defensive system, but his mediocre season in 2009 leaves the Jets looking for a free safety, cornerback, and an explosive pass rusher. The Jets can essentially solve all three problems if they sign Antrel Rolle. Though restrictions on the playoff ôelite eightö leave ...
