Clearly the Jets don’t expect anyone to sign him and give up a second round pick. Blind Jets hate.

It was last year. Two years ago he only played 1 game. In 2011 he played 3 games, then tore his achilles tendon. Those stats are from 2012.

I’m hoping, Revis trade yields 1st and 2nd round picks. Let’s be real, Jets are rebuilding with lot’s of holes and no cap space. Therefore, draft the best player available. There’s plenty of OLB’s and OG’s in 1st, 2nd rounds. So what, if Jets don’t have a QB prospect with 1st round draft grade (as per Terry Bradway interview). We can draft elite QB in ’14. Meantime, there’s plenty of skill players available in middle rounds.

Cumberland showed promise and is a much better blocker than Keller.

For crying out loud, those $2 million will be Rob Gronkowski’s and Aaron Hernandez base salaries for 2013 combined…
