Really? This is news..Jets get a new GM, and people are suppose to believe that no one on a 6-10 team is expendable? Wow, Jets are still making headlines during Super Bowl week. Media must love to stir up Jet controversy rather than give us real reporting.

I am just curious.. Are there any Giants beat writiers who write stories about their team.

It seems there are always Jets stories but no Giants stories.

Giants don’t ever have the same ‘quality’ of news the Jets do. In an era where news is secondary to headlines, no team can beat the Jets for stories. No team in the US in any sport. The stories write themselves. Why do the work when Rex is willing to do it for you?

I don’t think the Jets should trade Cromartie.

His value is at an all-time high, he is arguably a top-5 cornerback in the NFL right now and is only making $7 million a year (with two years left on his deal). If the Jets can trade Cromartie and re-sign Revis, that should bring in a 2nd 1st round pick.

Geniuses like the Jets move way above my intellect. The have mastered the QB spot and now are homing in on the CB slot to work magic. Hopefully soon they will work on the positions they consider important.

I bet Cromartie could get a 2 rounder that could elevate to a 1st depending on his play.. very solid corner this year

Cromag can’t cover himself with a blanket! Who would want him? Well, besides the Raiders

“As we hear it, the primary factor for Ryan is that he’s hoping to clear out some of the guys who have contributed to the problems in the locker room over the past couple of years. ”

If I was the GM or coach of another team I’d be very wary of Jets bearing gifts. The Jets have a long list of locker room cancers who most other teams shouldn’t want any part of.

I saw what you did there Mike, shame on ya.

You took a report from Jason L. using an un-named source, for whatever the reason the”un-named source was doing for, combined it with the insuing discussion about said rumor by media types and fans, and then came to the conclusion of a “prevailing” opinion?

They’re reviewing the roster, at this point. PERIOD, END OF STORY.

There is no “prevailing” opinion, other than people that don’t count, speculating.

Revis is a lot better than Cromartie in coverage, but with the recent influx in injuries to Revis, Cromartie looks like the safer bet. He may not shut down his side of the field, but he is a factor in the opposition’s game plan. Revis can’t stay healthy long enough to make a difference on the field anymore. Add in his huge salary, the impact that amount has on teammates who aren’t making 1/8th of that and it looks pretty obvious on who they should retain and who to let go.

I get a kick when they call the teams the NJ Jets-NJ Giants.

Anyone take the time to learn the Jets tried to build a stadium in New York City? Between some political blockage and the prohibitive costs, it was impossible.
To build a stadium in the world’s most expensive real estate didn’t happen. So?
Next we’ll hear about the tolls to get there.
You know what a toll is?

I just dont see the point of having a cb taking up such a large amount of money in a pass happy league.

@jetshorty

I know it seems really tinfoil hat but I’m almost positive they do. And with all the attention it gets and the ability to rely on “anonymous sources,” why wouldn’t they? Jets beat writers in particular though have always been especially awful.

Nobody wanted him as a free agent…why would they be willing to give up draft picks and the salary for him now?

Not because they cant play either, cause the coaching spoiled them! Im not saying they cant get a fresh start, but these guys have a knack for crumbling!

If they got a legit pass rusher, they wouldn’t need shutdown corners, just decent ones.

We’ll trade you David Carr for Revis straight up. You need a starting qb and we can bring Revis along slowly until December when we’ll really need him

It’s pick your poison – do you want to trade a 2nd or 3rd Rd pick for a guy who WAS great and hope he is 100% with his knees/speed, or trade a 5th rd pick for a suspect Charachter guy with good cover skills who can’t/won’t tackle and who is starting to slow down?

While this idea sounds great to NY Press – most teams will have zero interest.

Its funny reading all these comments ONLY saying how well he played and how hes getting better. Im a sd diehard and know the problems cro caused in the lockerroom. Even if cro was playing better than revis and cro cost less id trade him. Revis is a true leader and was the best cb in the league by far before his injury. Trading cro is a no brainer. Hes was a cancer in sd and since hes been a jet the jets have gone downhill. Sometimes theres players that lower the level of play of those around him

You don’t rebuild by trading your best player in his prime

Ask the Chiefs if trading Allen was worth it.

Compare the Jets to the team they keep chasing, the Patriots. Belichick slots salary cap to each position. He knows what relative range he has to work within and he keeps to that range. That’s why guys like Lawyer Malloy were let go. The Jets keep deluding themselves into thinking they are just a couple of players away and they reach in the draft, trades, and salary. This leads to overpaying players, an aging roster, and lack of depth. It is an addiction that keeps needing to be fed.

Look at all these ignorant comments. Cromartie had a great season and you didn’t hear one word from him this year

By: dabears2485

dabears2485 — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:56:51 +0000

Why? Cromartie stays healthy and plays well and costs half as much. Revis has had 2 straight injury-riddled seasons and costs more than a good starting QB. I’d trade the high-priced guy and let some hungry young kid earn the spot for a fraction of the cost.

By: beecee71

beecee71 — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:50:35 +0000

All you guys knocking on Cro didn’t watch him play this year. He was well worth his salary and then some. He covered extremely well and played the run almost as well. He had at least 4 or 5 big hits where you turned around and said, “was that really Cro?” He was a different more physical player. I would be very interested in seeing what adding Revis plus an additional year for wilkerson and coples would do. If the Jets get a QB and a TE (or re-sign keller on the cheap) as well as edwards and holmes coming back. Too bad management screwed everything up and there is no hope.

In a perfect scenario, the Jets would keep both Cro and revis. It’s not going to happen and the people hear need to stop saying Cro is bad. He was a top 2 CB last yr and he would be a number 1 on most teams. The question is Revis or Cro. I say Revis just because he talks a lot less then Cro (although Cro is getting better), he’s younger and he’s better. The only bad thing is revis is coming off an ACL injury, but Cro also tore his ACL in college. They can trade Cro for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I say do it.

Wow!

I know the Jets have cap issues but to give up the teams best asset; two shut down corners is desperate. Well I guess the Jets are desperate.
