    according to Cimini. Not sure I am into this. Not only did he lose his starting job last year but he lost the nickel job to Joselio Hanson. Exactly. I would give up a late round pick only. 5th at the most.

    I'd trade a 3rd for him. He's a quality corner and would allow us to spend our first two picks on other needs.

    Revis and Sheppard would be a hell of a duo

    ive wanted this to happen for awhile now. 3rd or 4th rounder is worth it.

    Yea would be a nice pick up for us, i though we should have drafted him when he came out from florida i believe, but they may want decent compensation for him regardless of his spot on the depth chart. I'd give a 3rd, maybe with a 6th

    for a 4th string corner?? Not me.

    Personally, and I know he took alot of grief, but I like Lowery. Yea he got picked on but give him a break ...he was a 4th rd pick out of San Jose St. starting opposite one of the Cbs in the game. Of course he's going to get picked on. I'd go to battle with Revis, Lowery and a 1st or 2nd rd pick.

    Why do we want a CB that can't even keep a job as a nickle?

    He's 27 and dirt cheap. I trade a 4th round pick for Lito tommorow. Completely eliminates our need for a second corner and allows the jets to go reciever in the first round.

    His talent level is not of a 4th string player, he is just in the doghouse in philly and needs to get a change of scenery. Keep the Green, and White jersey just get him to a better northeastern city and he will return to his old form.

    For a low round draft pick that would be a huge pickup. Hes been bit by the injury bug a for a few seasons but when healthy hes a top flight CB. Plus hes like a 90 in madden lol

    I'd give a 4th Rounder for him. Then draft either Sean Smith to pair with Rhodes or a WR, Nicks.

    I'd rather not trade any more picks away, but if it's going down, the above it what I'd like to see happen. Imagine a Secondary consisting of Revis/Rhodes/Sean Smith/Sheppard, and Lowery as a nickle -- with Smith and Lowery able to alternate positions.

    I don't buy this doghouse crap. If the guy can play he'd be on the field.

    D. Rex is at it again.

    Now that former Ravens ILB Bart Scott is in the fold, new Jets coach Rex Ryan has turned his attention to the secondary. They have targeted free-agent CB Corey Ivy, formerly of the Ravens, and are confident they can get a deal done.

    But here's the big one - they're working on a trade for Eagles CB Lito Sheppard, according to league sources.

    In fact, Sheppard is due to visit tomorrow with the Jets. The former first-round pick has one year remaining on his contract, with a base salary of $3 million, but he has been looking to be traded ever since the Eagles signed CB Asante Samuel last offseason.

    Sheppard would step in as a starter, opposite Pro Bowl CB Darrelle Revis. Ivy will be a nickel back, his role with the Ravens.

    Terms of Ivy's deal weren't immediately available. It's unclear what the Jets would be willing to part with for Sheppard.

    Meanwhile, here's a breakdown of Scott's contract. The 6-year deal includes about $22 million in guarantees, with $27 million coming in the first three seasons. It's believed the Ravens offered a 6-year package for $45 million.

    His agent, Harold Lewis, claims that Scott never wavered in signing with the Jets, and that he never went back to the Ravens to squeeze more money out of them.
