Yeah NY has only like 10 mil in cap space from what I heard.

Houston is offering more. And I hope they get him.

 

[TTN2810]

No, apparently Houston is willing to offer more

Reallly? I heard on TV like an hour ago that NY was offering aloooot more.

If I was the Jets though I would put my money in multiple players and not go after Nnamdi.. Wouldn't invest that much money into two corners.

 

[TTN2810]

Wow. You guys are right.
Right from that article I posted, Nnamdi could land $12-$14 mil a season from Houston.

He would be giving up 2-4 million to play for a Superbowl contender, I'd do it if I was him, plus he could make a ton of money in endorsements in a huge market like NY.

 

[TTN2810]

Taxes in NY are higher I heard though.
And superbowl contender is iffy.

 

[elcheato]

If the Texans sign Nnamdi, that's pretty close to being a super bowl contender.

...coming from a Jets fan...

Kolb is better than Orton, maybe not right now, but long term he should be.

A few pages behind, but no... No, no, no...

 

[Elite]

Back-to-back AFC Championship appearances and not getting significantly worse = Super Bowl contenders

Especially with Nnamdi, I don't think anyone is really processing just how dominant he turns the Jets pass defense into

 

[DJT]

I think he can be, and I think he will be.

But time will only tell. I could be wrong, but so can everyone saying otherwise.

The thing is, the Jets could bring in every high profile FA and never win. They're like the the Miami Heat. It just doesn't work. You can't buy a team. You have to build it through drafting. That's how it works 90% of the time. And NY will never be able to win with Sanhez.

It's not like Kolb is much younger than Orton, and he's definitley not better right now.

Miami is definitely going to win a ring some time in the next 5 years, probably multiple. Not making any guarantees with the Jets since we're older and there's just so much turnover on football rosters. But the Jets could easily take the Superbowl this year.

Sanchez isn't this awful QB everyone makes him out to be. Like I've said a ton of times, this past year was his 3rd year starting above the high school level. He's still really inexperienced and he's entering his 3rd year, the year most QBs really come into their own. I'm not saying he's going to be a top 5 QB in the NFL or anything, but he is fully capable of leading us to a ring, especially since he steps up in clutch situations for the most part.

 

[TTN2810]

True, this is the year he could come into his own, but I haven't seen any kind of potential to make him more than an average NFL QB.

Aren't the Texans running a 4-3 defense now? (referring to the Okobe story)

 

[Elite]

They're switching to a 3-4 with Wade Phillips

Really?

You seriously think Mario Williams will play in the 4-3 at LB?

 

[SaintFan25]

Lol that's what I was thinking.

 

[DJT]

I hear Vince Young may go to Miami if Orton doesn't.
