Yes, seems fair to me. Player isn't happy, deal him. Team has an issue with a player that we can address and hopefully change, trade for him. Teams don't want to "risk" it which is why Rex has the biggest balls in the NFL....and I like balls. (/Team America)
The Jets are sending a message to their fans - don't sleep, you might miss something. How many teams can generate this much positive press in the off season? I'm loving the culture change. The last time I was this excited in the off season was while watching Namath practice at Hofstra prior to the Super Bowl season.

Well, Ben Roethlisberger is having all those legal troubles...may not be a bad idea to take him off their hands for a 2013 7th rounder, he's probably a better backup QB option than Brunell.
http://www.finheaven.com/forums/f49/mergedx3-sources-santonio-holmes-to-jets-273941.html They are freaking out bc they gave up a 5th for Tyler Thigpen and we got a SB MVP for the same price hahaha
I think these players we are getting understand ONE thing, Jets are in to win a Super Bowl. A player's dream is to win that title and if you want one, better keep your nose clean and do what is asked of you, otherwise, the other teams in the NFL who have a chance, will not even bother. You'll end up in the wasteland called Oakland. I have no idea who we are going to draft now guys, I won't be surprised if Tanny somehow, someway, gets us Taylor Mays. He's be a perfect fit.
shit guys I was writing a fucking paper for tomorrow on Marx theory of alienation and now i just can't I am hung on the forum's of the steelers and lmao, enjoying the good news!!!This is just surrealistic. Honestly I can't believe Tanny pulled this off. I think even tomorrow i won't believe it. This is great next year will be the bomb!!!!!
Has it been mentioned in this thread the rumor that Leon is involved in the trade? http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/36407672/ns/sports-player_news/
If we give out an award for "Thread of the Year from a rival site" There is your winner. They are giving up on their own team. Some say they have more heart than we do...how can that be, when you are giving up before the draft?
This is crazy. Awesome move by our team. Holmes will be suspended for the first four games of the season, but he'll be here all off-season and he'll have plenty of time to learn the playbook.
"So the same thing we give up for Tyler Thigpen is what the Jets give up for a Super Bowl MVP." per finheaven... i dunno but tyler thigpen is a damn good 3rd QB.
It's not true, because there is no such thing as a "player to be named" in football. It's cut and dry in the NFL. Plus Leon would have to sign a contract before hand and that hasn't happened either.
I know this is absolutely off topic, but this was pretty funny to me and I thought some of you people would get a kick out of it J Mac's stay with the Jets via Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_McCareins
For those who say we are "going all in for the Superbowl this year".........If BE or Holmes don't work out, they are both FAs. JTaylor's deal will be 2 years, low money. We still have a 1st, a 2nd, a 4th, a 6th, and a 7th rounder in this year's draft. We have NOT mortgaged the future, and have NOT acquired any tremendous future liabilities in exchange for making a run this year. I just can't wait until we get a 5th rounder for Clemens.
Well a 3rd string QB or a 3rd Sting WR....your choice. But when your QBs are Henne, Pennington, then Thigpen and OUR WRs and Edwards, Cotchery, then Holmes.... you have a whole different story. I cannot wait, I have a co-worker who is a Fins fan and I'm sure he hasn't heard about this yet.
