Update: Jets rescind offer to DT Suh, Kong signs with Rams

[maxmet]

our cap situation might allow us to pay him some big money on a one year deal - or one w an option

there is a place for crazy - but not too crazy - worried.......but then again

especially if there is a team we play against whom you really want to get QB pressure up the middle - and knock down the QB a few times

 

[SackExchange]

This makes zero sense to me. I don't get where giving Suh a lot of money makes sense.

 

[BlindsideD'Brick]

I’m not going to deny that Suh is still a productive player. I don’t think he’s as good as he was with the Lions, but he’s better than Steve McClendon and Kony Ealy. I’ll give the proponents of this move that. He’d be particularly effective against the run and drawing double teams.

But it just seems like such a contrary move to what the team has been building: young players (23-28) who you can build a core around over the next 5-6 years. And bringing in a franchise QB next month to really get things going that direction next year.

Suh would basically be a stopgap next year, who’d be paid A LOT of money. Assuming he keeps his nose clean, how many more good years does he have left? Two? Maybe three?

This may all be a moot point anyway because about four teams are supposedly in the running. And if I’m Suh, I’m going to a contender at 31 years old. A rebuilding team doesn’t make sense unless it’s all about the money.

No thank you... Only way this makes sense is to get over the minimum threshold of the cap

 

[TonyFtLaud]

If we sign Suh, I’ll root for him because he’s wearing Green and White.

But let’s just say I won’t be surprised if he stomps on somebody’s arm (Evan Dietrich-Smith 2011 and Aaron Rodgers 2014), or cheap shots somebody in the knees for the largest fine in NFL history (John Sullivan 2013). Let’s hope these anger management issues are behind him.

On the flip side , we may not see the cheap shots on our players, like the helmet to helmet on Anderson , due to the fear of retaliation.

This makes zero sense to me. I don't get where giving Suh a lot of money makes sense.

Let's see what the offer is before we complain about the amount. He's not getting the $26-29 mill per year he was due in Miami.

There is no minimum threshold for the cap.

 

[maxmet]

isnt there a three year average floor you have to meet? I doubt we have an issue, but I thought that was in CBA

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

Cant emphasize enough how great Mac and Todd Bowles have tightly sealed everything at Florham. Whether he signs Suh or not, this is another one of those in which the media had no idea the Jets brass were interested in this particular free agent.

Not trying to merge threads but, the more yyou hear about the Jets gaga over Rosen and Aleen, the more its obvious that Baker will be the pick.

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

Also, before we write off Suh as a "WASTE" of a signing, lets consider a couple of things here:

1- Lets wait on what kind of offer we're actually giving him because so far, every free agent signing Mac has inked this off-season contractually has been a home run.

2-We have AMPLE cap space, this year and next. This could be a 1 year deal; Show me that your still interested in being that dominant interior linemen in '18 as we have over $118mil in cap space for '19 in which we can keep you long term.

3- Remeber a guy named Kris Jenkins?? If he was healthy during Rex regimes, IMHO we would have been the top defense bar-none. Let that sink in.

4-If he acts up, the Jets would cut him. With their cap situation, they are the few teams that can live with dead money on the roster.


I see no flaws with this potential signing.

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

C'mon guys, really don't want this on the team??

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

[No message]

 

[NYJDraftKing]

Would be an interesting signing, that I am not really opposed to .......The JETS defense now has a a very strong nucleus of very athletic & talented young players but "no identity", Ndamukong Suh can sure help define an identity ... He and Leonard Williams on a line together would be ferocious !!!

 

[NewMFS62]

I have posted many times about how I felt Lawrence Taylor was a vile and reprehensible person.
If the Jets were to sign Suh, I would hope he limits his aggressive actions to the field.
Later

Hope your correct!
I'm all in the Mayfield camp

 

[mydogisajetsfan]

I just don't get the reaction to this potential signing. Mac has created a solid defense, most of whom will be in place for several years. What he knows is missing is pressure on the QB and he knows he can't sign another 25-28 year old for 3-4 years in 2018. Nor will he likely get it in this draft. So why not sign a guy who can still play and affect offensive game plans? Suh will not be part of the long term plan but he can help us get there. He can make Leo a much better player. He can make the linebackers much more effective. I would find this defense fun to watch.

Well You just saved me some typing. I would have said the same thing

And this too...

I can name a team with a qb that needs to be knocked down a few times and we play them twice a year. And I know Suh likes to get after that qb too

Oh yeah, and that qb just lost his blindside protector, Nate Solder, to the Giants

 

[cheaterhater]

Let's face it. All of these guys are out there trying to kill each other no matter what you think. My neighbor a former nfl player reminds of this all the time. Why not have the biggest and the baddest on a one year deal when you have plenty of cap space? It would add a little excitement that's for sure. If I were Suh, though, out of the teams listed, I'd probably chose the Saints
