@some fans
“They will look like a RV squad in two years without enough good players to field a team.”
wishful thinking…all Tannenbaum has done was to improve a defense that was #1 last year, get rid of an overpaid Faneca, trade up to land the best CB in football AND give Revis a rookie contract that he can’t renegotiate and is cap friendly.
If the Jets can win the SB this year or next year, I will endure a few years of your so called RV team…

“NY Jests have a ton of contract issues that wouldn’t exist right now if there were a CBA in place”
Dont make lame excuses for poor management and desperate signings. The jests went all in and will fail as usual for that franchise.
They will look like a RV squad in two years without enough good players to field a team. Same old jests.

Pretty low hit count this morning on these posts Florio
You need to get that Tebow/Nike shoe endorsement deal posted to drive up the comments.
Cue the “Jesus in cleats” comments.

yeah seriously, this CBA needs to get done immediately. it should be the NFL’s top priority! the NY Jets have a ton of contract issues that wouldn’t exist right now if there were a CBA in place. Other teams are suffering from it too. There are gonna be players holding out through training camp and maybe into the start of the season because GM’s don’t want to play with money until the CBA is done.

I’m all about paying the more talented players more cash, but a rookie who has never touched an NFL field should not be getting paid more than a veteran player who has put his body on the line for years and proven himself. Especially since the newbie has still got SO much to learn. I know he’s got potential, but make him work for the PRIVELAGE of earning that paycheck. And I feel like EVERYONE’s signing bonus should be minimal. The bulk of the money should be due because of your play. But I do sympathize with the injury ridden players who deserve more than a boot when they get hurt, so maybe an injury clause should be implamented rather than a large signing bonus, though not as big as one. This way if you truely are hurt and out the season, you still get paid. If they cut you due to an injury you are still guarunteed a percentage of your contract. And just continue to use incentives to push players to work harder and that way if a player meets all expectations he earns more money, and if not (J. Russell) than you aren’t out a crap load of cash.

GET THE CBA DONE it is absolutely ridiculas that a corporation as big as the NFL can’t iron out a contract. Teams and players are already feeling the effects and unfortunatly, if Godell and Smith can’t get their heads out of their asses, the fans will feel the effects next year in the form of NO SEASON
