A healthy Blue is of even more value to Mangini who is trying to lay a foundation under his secondary. Signing Blue to an offer sheet would seem to be in the cards, the question is how do the Jets approach the offer? A poison pill is insurance that they get Blue and give up the second, it also puts pressure on the Pats to concede more to Asante's demands in order to re-sign him. A straight top dollar offer drops the decision into BB's lap, forcing him to weigh Blue's value as an experienced back-up while juggling Asante's demands, another hard decision on trade-offs for the Pats. In the end, I think the Jets need the secondary stability more then Eric wants to disrupt Bill's sleep. Blue and Hank together gives him the nucleus to train his DB talent around.A healthy Gay IS the best chance of improving this position.
I would rather take my chances with Gay getting and staying healthy because there isn't anyone else out there to sign, or were you thinking of a green rookie??
Randall Gay is NE's best shot at quality depth at the CB position, period.
