It sucks that the JETS now have 2 very good corners. ... The Jets and Eagles have agreed to a trade that will send a 2009 fifth-round pick and a 2010 conditional pick to the Eagles for CB Lito Sheppard. The 2010 pick could be anywhere between a second and fourth-round pick, presumably depending on Sheppard's playing time. The price is too big for our tastes, but Sheppard would fill a big void opposite Darrelle Revis. We give the Eagles a lot of credit for holding on to Sheppard last year and getting this excellent value.

Revis and Sheppard will be making plays no doubt about it. The Ravens Defense is being constructed in New York now. While I always want this division to be tough. It sucks to see the Jets get a quality player for a couple picks that most teams could afford to trade away. Miami is needing CB like fish need water. The Jets now have 2 that will demand attention on plays.
Its definately a good move for the pice, if he sucks, it wont cost them all that much. Presumably just something like a 4-5th next year in addition to this years pick. That said, Lito has been on the decline and I dont think he will be a good pickup for them. Hes definately been living off his reputation the last 2 or so years.
Man, the Jets are making some nice moves. Seems everyone in our division is making huge improvements. Except us yet.
Really? We resigned all our marquee free agents, and added Gibril Wilson. The Pats havent done much till now, just added Fred Taylor, and all the bills have done is sign Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over when Edwards gets injured next. The Jets have made a bunch of moves, but then, they did that last year as well.
It was more of a general statement, actually. The Jets brought in Scott, Lito, both huge pickups. With Ryan at the helm, that is a scary D. The Pats bring back Brady, signed Baker and Taylor. I agree Wilson is big though. I actually forgot about that. Its early.
Has anyone SEEN Lito play the last couple seasons? He isn't nearly as good as you're making him out to be.
There is a reason the Eagles have been willing to unload him for awhile now for relatively cheap deals. It was a good move for the Jets because of the low price, but I dont think he will be nearly as good as many are thinking.
they basically gave up a 5th AND a 4th rounder for a bum. im estatic the jets made this move personally.
everyone except the Bills, you guys made some really good moves so far!! Good luck with Coles when he signs with you!
