All the more reason I am glad we didnt target him. The JESTS are third only to the Cowboys and Raiders as far as wasting money on FA. None of them are getting the value in return for what they have paid out.
The fact that both Oakland and Dallas are in Serious need of a CB (Especially the Crackwagon) but still didnt go after Law makes me wonder how much he actually has left in the tank... -
They can have him, i think he's pretty much done.
I thought the jets were out of cap space with their ridiculous offseason shopping spree? -

I like some of the Jets moves this off-season. As BGNC mentions, Calvin Pace, Kris Jenkins, Richardson and Favre have played well this year. One that I didn't like was the Damien Woody one. They payed him I think $5 million a year and he's not a RT IMO. He has incredibly slow feet. Outside of him, I can't think of a bad move. I did think they overspent on some of the players but you have to do what you have to do to win games. I still think they're a nine win team, which could end up winning the division. Regarding the addition of Ty Law, I think he's lost a step but it'll be interesting to see how he fits in. The Jets have struggled in the secondary this year or at least the DB's opposite of Rhodes and Revis. I don't know how much of that has to do with the fact that teams have trouble running against the Jets so they are forced to pass though. As I said Law has lost a step but is still a smart player and could help them. He could also be no help at all. It'll definitely be interesting.

Yeah, I think the JESTS way overpaid for Pace, Woody, Jenkins AND Favre. They will be in SERIOUS Cap-hell for quite some time and all this for a 9 win season? Hell, we have just as good a chance to win 9 games, and our only big FA aquisition was Justin Smiley, and he isnt even a drop in the bucket..
Oh yeah, another FA that was way-overpaid on that last "Ty Law". To me its the exact same mentality Jerra Jones and Al Davis have shown, I call it the Yankee syndrome. Throw HUGE money at above average players and try to win it now. -

Yeah the CBA could come to an end then. That's not now though. If it happens it'll look great but I've got a feeling they'll extend it. :)
-
Look at Woody and Farve alone, the combined Salaries are going to pretty much garuntee they can't re-sign some of the other younger players that will help them in the future, and that is what the Yankees have been doing for a decade (Also no Salary Cap), yet I dont see the Yankees benefiting from this practice, and I seriously dont think the Raiders, Cowboys OR Jests will either. :up: -

They'd def. be setting themselves back a bit. I can't remember how much money they spent :)
-
Well yeah obviously, THAT is exactly why teams over-spend on FA's. I am just saying that it VERY RARELY pays off. The JESTS are in front in the Division, I think they could be there just as well with Penny and without Jenkins or Woody. That jeapordizes re-signing other players that are coming due, but will be lured away because UNTIL the Cap is abolished, they still have to abide by it.
I can name 50 if not 100 cases where a player garnered BIG BUCK via FA only to go from a contender to a nothing team, and a large part is the team aquireing the high priced players are handcuffed by the price-tag he brings. The JESTS have done it with several players, not just one. :up: -

i thought the Jets were 13 cents under the salary cap. im shocked they had the room.

CBA will be extended. I don't see Roger Goodell letting the league go to an uncapped season and a possible strike season.

Nothing quite like gambling away your future for an all or nothing year.

Add it up...We are now all alone in 1st place. 7-3. You really think we will only win 9 games? Delusional.
at Tennessee..Probably a loss, but we have 10 days to prep for the game.
Denver.. We will win this at home
at SF..Another win..
Buffalo..The Bills are imploding..win
at Seattle..The Seahawks suck..could be a trap game though..
Miami..Big battle. I like the Jets and Favre in the cold weather of late December
11-5 is highly likely. -
I have never liked Ty Law.Ever since the game in '99 when Marino threw two interceptions to start the game in a 14-0 hole, I"ve never liked him. However, it turned out to be a great game with Damon Huard leading the Fins back to win it 31-30 I believe. All I know is that it was a suburb game.
-
Well thats a game most of us actually want you to win. :up: -
i sure as hell don't -
-
to have the record they'd have to win the super bowl undefeated.

The Jets are prob. going to win our division, but man it is a tight one this yr. This reminds me of how it use to be when an 9-6 team could possibly not make the playoffs.
