Default Can we resign Asante?
Or will he ask for too much money? Do we let him walk and draft another CB or franchise him? Glad I don't have to make these decisions.

The problem with franchising him is that he might not and probably will not be happy about that...

If we let him walk, we'll see him twice a year for the Jets. Franchise him and trade him if he doesn't like it. I do think they will make a serious effort to sign him if he's reasonable.

I say franchise him too. 1. I worry that if he gets the big long term contract he might be one of those that gets soft. 2. See what you have in Hobbs. Is he a potential #1 corner, next year will be his 3rd and should give a good indication. 3. I am one who doesn't care if they get mad as long as they don't hold out.

Hobbs a #1 corner? I think he's a #2 on his best day and a nickel caliber guy most of the time.

That's garbage. He's hung with the best in the game, has 10 INT's this year and has made some of the best plays I've seen by a Pats DB in years. He's legit.

Sorry, my mistake. I had Samuel on my brain I guess.


Hobss has potential and seems to have a good work ethic. Samuel wasn't this good before, either. I remember a young Ty Law getting toasted regularly...

Hmm, I think the only way we keep him is to franchise him. Not only do the Jets have a lot of cash, a number of teams do, so the Jets is not a guarantee.

Seeing as though we need help in the secondary, I don't see how we let him walk.
