Tannenbaum doing a nice job so far today. Scott, Sheppard, Moore and Ivy with leonhard coming into visit tomorrow. I guess the Jets weren't really in cap hell?

That D could be getting fiesty with Ryan at the helm and Scott and Harris in the middle. Now they add Sheppard a solid jam cornerback. They just need a QB, HEY, WE GOT AN EXTRA ONE, LET'S SPICE THIS BABY UP LIKE BLEDSOE TO THE BILLS.

Ha, no way they are trading Cassel to the Jets.

That's what's confusing me...where the hell is this money coming from? I like Jim Leonard a lot...wouldn't mind the Pats grabbing him.

Maybe they are banking on an uncapped year, either that or lot's of dead money, lot's.

Re: Lito Sheppard to the Jets per National Football Post

Yawn. Tannenbum is clueless. He has no vision of what the team should be because he isn't even a football guy. sign guys, dump guys. The redskins/message board approach. been working great so far.

If you are remotely comfotable entering the season with Clemens, and Ratliff...you are nuts. They are terrible.

Like I said... Outside of Keller a big WR masquerading as a TE where is the Offense?

Re: Lito Sheppard to the Jets per National Football Post

Jets are making some good moves. Rex is building a defensive heavy team. Wonder where he got that idea?

Re: Lito Sheppard to the Jets per National Football Post

They already have a couple of really good DBs now they that got Shepard and are after Leonard seems like they are paranoid about someone's arial attack.

Re: Lito Sheppard to the Jets per National Football Post

As far as their cap, they were never in that bad shape. a lot of money was in roster bonuses, easily converted to signing bonus and spread out. That plus FAVRAH retiring and Coles agreeing to give up guaranteed money just to get out adds up pretty quick.

How do you know they are terrible? Can they be any worse then Favre?

Favre retiring helped, as did cutting Coles.

I think it's more from the standpoint of "if we trade them a good QB, then we're basically giving them the single hardest piece to becoming a legitimate division rival". Why would we just hand that over? Would be better to trade Cassel to someone else, and let them continue to suck while they try to groom up the Ratliffs and Clemens of the world.
