Replacing Howdy Doody with Bozo the Clown, and a downgrade at that. This won’t sell any PSLs. What a pathetic franchise.

Seams like the Jets are also interested in Todd Heap

As they shouldn't, like with the Haynesworth trade, it has the potential for some nice upside. And it's not like they're asking him to be the #1 or anything, but we're both relying on our new acquisitions to pull through. Otherwise, it's a step backwards.

Now Heap would be a nice addition for them although Marty Ball doesn't usually feature the two TE set too much. I don't know if Schotty Jr. is good enough to revise the offense his dad gave him to utilize both Heap and Keller at the same time. Only time will tell. But if they sign Heap and Schotty can revise the gamebook on the fly, Heap would be a great addition for them.

you really think Vince young can carry the team while Vick is out atleast 6 weeks when he gets hurt?

Conversely, Burress may put his best foot forward.

But from our standpoint, it beats several alternatives. E.g., it would have been scary if they'd gotten a revenge-oriented Moss; we dodged a bullet there.

I get tired of hearing about 'the Moss Revenge Factor'

Moss played us right after we traded him to Minn and did NOTHING.....the fact is Moss no longer has it...if there was going to be a 'revenge' game,it would have been the Minnesota game.....

Moss has lost the ability to 'get even' with ANY team unless you consider revenge as a game catching passes for a total of 30 yards
