Rex Ryan’s effeminate personality is what causes all this drama.

Who negotiated that deal from the Jets side, George Costanza?

Nice work Mike Tannenbaum. Saddled the organization with a certified turd-extrodinaire.

Putting your faith in Holmes and Sanchez could make for an umemployed Rex after this season. I guess Rex always has his movie, youtube, and writing career to fall back on.

Should be the ONLY thing he improved on not the other thing

For all those that are saying oh a veteran player needs another veteran player to keep him in check-isn’t that what a QB supposed to do. He’s supposed to LEAD his team-he can’t lead himself out onto the field how is going to lead his team to the Super Bowl? Holmes is a great player-he made great catches that weren’t easy ones. Sanchez lacks the leadership, & it’s like he has ADD-he’s focused for a little while & then he’s off to something else. The other thing that he improved on this past season was not being intercepted as much as he was in the past-so does that make him a great QB? No because he didn’t improve on anything else. Next you’ll all be like Giselle(sic) Brady’s wife saying-he can’t throw the ball & then run & catch it too.

How are the Jets, who are essentially financially handcuffed right now, going to afford Peyton Manning? I’m not trying to be a smart-azz…..it’s a serious inquiry. Is it even financially feasible?

What happened to the jets being geniuses for getting Holmes for only a 5th round pick? The Steelers look like the geniuses now..

I know the Jets only traded a 5th for Holmes, but it must sting a bit more to know the Steelers dealt that pick to Arizona for their 6th rounder – which turned into Antonio Brown – a receiver who’s arguably already better than Holmes at less than 1/10th the cost.

@jbcommonsense

Dude, read the article. This guarantees another 7.5 million, this half to be paid in 2013. Now if you’re Santonio Holmes, you have a guaranteed $15 million coming to you over the next two years – why on earth would you renegotiate for LOWER PAY!! If he sucks and gets cut, he gets his $15 million plus he gets to sign a new contract with a different team and get paid by them too. The contract is absolutely not tradeable, nobody but the Jets would want to pay this jerk that kind of cash.

This certainly seems like the Jets have chosen Holmes over Sanchez – Mark just isn’t the type of strong QB personality that will thrive in that environment. Let the Manning watch begin….

The team has to address Holmes’ status in the locker room. After publicly quitting on the field in the last game, there were many unhappy Jets with Holmes. If they don’t put it to bed, then the cancer in the locker room will just fester.

“remotely inevitable”.

Love it.

Can you honestly think of a scenario that gives ESPN execs wood more than Peyton and Eli in the same city?

“Man Baby” Sanchez does need some help afterall being one of the most Overrrated Qbs in the league with the most overrated Coach!

God Bless SH and his agent. 15 + million GUARANTEED over the next 2 years. That is some high quality negotiating. However, don’t know if he’s worth it. My lasting impression of him is being kicked off the field by his own teammates in the last game of the season against the Fins. Then he sat on the bench and pouted completely ignoring the end of the game. PRICELESS. I wonder if he would get away with those shananagans if Ray Lewis were on the team. I think not.

The only reason they kept him is because if Bill can turn a player around Rex can ……….. never mind

Well now I know why you guys aren’t GM’s. His talent is of more value to the Jets than what they could get if they dumped him. NYJ is already limited by a tight cap, so getting rid of him and 3M worth of cap space isn’t a smart football move.

As far as his attitude goes, it’s rotten but if the Jets keep winning it won’t be a story.

@realitypolice

” a quick scan of the roster shows #18 still available for Jets ”

ESPN would pay Peyton’s salary to get him on the Jets. Think of the manufactured news possibilities ;

Peyton v Eli
Peyton v Brady
Peyton v Rex
Peyton v Santonio

Mike and Mike could each get their own time slot ….although having two programs each called, “The Mike Show ” could be confusing to viewers .

ESPN will have a special 3 hour edition of “outside the lines ” tonight at 8 to discuss what many are now calling “remotely inevitable “.

Anytime you can pay $15.25 million to destruct your locker room chemistry, you have to do it right?

Trade him to the Redskins for a 7th rd pick contingent on him agreeing to renegotiate the contract. The ‘Skins might offer him less money, but 2-3 years, plus performance-based incentives.

I can’t believe Jets are giving this turd another $7 million plus after last year. I find this hilarious. Rex Ryan is out after next year, the Jets don’t have ANYTHING on offense, they aren’t getting to .500.

Sneaky PFT – pretty low holding onto this lawerly knowledge until AFTER it’s too late. I’m sure the Jet’s owner did a big Homer Simpson “doh” as soon as he read your article.
========================

You can’t possibly believe that the Jets weren’t aware of this clause or somehow “forgot” to cut him?

Please tell me you don’t believe that.

You can criticize them because you think it’s a mistake to keep him, but the idea that they didn’t read the contract THAT THEY WROTE is a little silly.

The Jets deliberately kept him past the cut off date because they either want to keep him or they believe they can get something for him.

U know u have issues when your veteran has to be surrounded by a veteran so he doesnt act out.

By: istuppingyourwhiteewe

istuppingyourwhiteewe — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:20:18 +0000

The Jets didn’t give up a whole lot to get him so even getting a lower round draft pick on the trading block seems like the best option here..

Plenty of teams need a receiver, and lets face it he’s pretty damn good.

With VJax and DJax looking like they could be on the way out of their respective ball clubs as well as teams like Washington and St. Louis needing a marquee receiver don’t be surprised to see him traded away.

I’m sure with a head coach with better personality traits (and a team with a better qube) Holmes could be calmed down!
