So I guess Asante isn't a total money-grabber after all.

I give him credit for not going solely for the money.

Can't blame him for not wanting to play the Pats twice per year

I wish the Jets had signed him to that contract. Boy howdy do I wish they had signed him.

Well he will have to play the Cowboys and Giants twice a year which won't exactly be a field day for him.

I can't really blame Asante for choosing Philly, even though they haven't won crap since the merger their fans are still rabid and Philly is still seen as a great franchise, unlike the Jets.

Plus, and this is probably not true, maybe Asante knew his fans in NE would hate it if he went to NYJ? I'd like to think players to that into consideration on occasion.

That was probably the primary reason, and then the fact the Jets D will be even more horrible to play for next year.

He realized that Brady to Moss would have exposed him as a fraud of CB.

I think it's more likely Asante figured Eric wouldn't be there long enough to defend his boy when the finger pointing started because the JETS still suck. That's kind of what happened to CuMar - he followed Tuna to the Meadowlands, and then Tuna bailed on a cap and contracts mess he created in his desire to turn a floundering franchise around. Tangini are in the midst of creating another mess in an effort to save their own jobs that someone else will be left to clean up in a year or two. Most of the FA signings of this week will constitute the bulk of that cleanup, because none of them, or Asante, are as talented as Martin was. And what a career long waste of talent that decision was.
