    Drayton Florence....CB ex- Buffalo Bill. He gave Jets WR's a tough time & always around the ball. He plays rough & tough. Would love for him & guy just cut from Jaguars CB Drew Coleman to be signed. These 2 additions would give the Jets a very good secondary going into the season.

    The Jets talked to him last offseason as a fallback option in case they didn't get Aso or Cro but he re-signed w/ Buf rather than waiting. He'd be a 4th corner here, I'm sure he'd like to start somewhere else.

    guys get cut for more reasons than just play on the field. I don't know the specificis but I believe Buff gets around $3-4 mil in cap savings so that contributed.

    he's also the guy that juked sanchez out of his shoes last year when sanchez was lined up as a WR lol

    In all seriousness he could make for a great dime back.

    I like the way he plays. If u have any Jets/Bills games from last season, check him out. Was around ball alot, & just missed a few INT's. A hard-nosed pllayer. Plus...He would know all divisional opponents...a big plus !!!

    No. We don't need him.

    "The 31-year-old struggled in pass coverage last season (opposing QBs posted a 103.3 passer rating)."

    Coleman might be better as 4th corner.

    Oh, Jesus. This guy was the worst CB on the Bills last year. The only reason he played was because every other corner was on IR.

    We must have been watching another game because what I saw last year as Plax Burress absolutely manhandling Florence in both games.

    Florence is god awful.....he hasn't been the same since he left SD. He'd be Lito Sheppard 2.0 here.
