    Not a big loss in either case, but they were Jets players nonetheless.

    I could care less about Spencer, he sucked ass

    Poteat was a semi serviceable CB

    I liked Poteat. I thought he was a pretty good depth guy. Wish we could have kept him on board.

    More trash to the curb. No loss Rex wants his players not Manginis leftover trash.

    being 3/4th on a depth chart isn't a big loss.

    whatever.

    I liked Poteat too but we'll survive.

    I liked Poteat, as a Jets fan I don't take smarts and hustle for granted. He was better than Ty Law, Ahmad Carroll, Drew Coleman and maybe Barrett. We should have kept him.

    A garbage can improve to become "glorified garbage."

    Still a garbage, nonetheless. Either loss is not much even for depth.

    A butterfly net would be a more effective CB than Drew Coleman.

    Poteat was a solid vet---this is a loss of a valuable reserve player. I guess he got a good deal from EM. Good luck Hank.

    Spencer: I thought he played well in the limited time I observed him. He's no slouch. I'd rather have a team full of Spencers than a team full of Bryan Thomas. At least there would be hustling for 60 mins. Good luck dude--Maybe the Lions can surprise next season.

    Anyone else surprised with players being loyal to Mangini? I am.

    Poteat was a fan favorite but very replacable.

    This took me forever to read. I read it over and over each time thinking you said a "garbage can".

    Turns out the players liked him after all. I am much happier with Rex, but Ill always like Mangini.

    You could always depend on Poteat to tackled the guy the second he caught it. And Spencer didn't really do enough to make fun of.

    So acording to the Browns GM, Hank has knowledge of their system? What an asset, knowing how to play soft and how not to loose games, thats the Mangini way!

    Ivy would essentially repleace Poteat. He's a dime-a-dozen player.

    Since Mangini seems to be the only guy that wants them... not very surprising.
