Jets fans, come join us, end your pain.

@JetFan79 you ok?

 

[signbabybrady]

Jets know they got to come here if they are ever going to get a ring.

He used to be a really nice player. Not sure what he is now though

 

[RedSleevesPinkStripes]

lol nice

@JetFan79 you ok?

He's never been "OK."

He used to be a really nice player. Not sure what he is now though

He is a smart, tough, capable, Green Dot backup to HT. Fills maybe the biggest need on a roster with few needs. Instant upgrade to play next to HT as well. BB killin it.

The way the Jetes released him so long after free agency dried up, I'd bet the Pats were the team he wanted to sign with. Just for spite. "JETE Suck 2017" continues.

 

[scott99]

He still is a tackling machine. Led the Jets in tackles last year I believe. He was one of my favorite Jets (if you can actually have a favorite). This is a great signing, I can see him being a great mentor for Elandon Roberts.

Must visit ganggreen....

 

[Kontradiction]

Excellent signing. This was really a no-brainer.

 

[sb1]

Even if he's not quite the player he was a few years ago - nice pickup. Almost as good as it gets for depth.

 

[FCB02062]

Not bad if he still has any speed, otherwise won't make it out of camp...kind of feels like John Lynch, Joey Galloway, Haynesworth, Reggie Wayne, etc....we shall see...

I Remember when they signed Chad Brown when he was on his last legs. Brown gave the Pats a halfway decent season in 05 I think....Perhaps Harris can mirror Brown's return....

 

[Ross12]

YEAH!!! I love it! Not only does he help patch one of the few needs on the team (backup LB), his signing brings pain and tears to the Jete fans I'll absolutely take a solid experienced LB who can tackle. He can probably even fill in for Hightower relatively well in the same sort of role if (when) Hightower gets hurt for a few games.

 

[EddardSnow67]

Love this move. I have been hoping they look at him, he fits one of the few remaining needs perfectly. Plus, he's a veteran, never been in trouble and he's missed one game in the last eight seasons. Extremely capable backup at two different spots, though much more Hightower's backup.
