This fiasco has allowed the Jets to sweeten the offer on a deal for Le’Veon, with a provision that he make his decision ASAP so that it not hinder any future FA deals should he decide to go elsewhere.
Barr Staying Put with Vikings
- Thread starter McJet
- Start date
Trouble is none of these become official until they sign on the dotted line and that can't happen until tomorrow. If we had to lose one of them he was the one to lose. We were asking him, I believe, to play outside as a rusher instead of inside where he might be more comfortable. There are other options for the edge out there.
Minnesota ups their offer to pull Barr back. Wow. Cimini mentioned Antoine Winfield back in 04. Same situation, same teams. Last minute backdoor offer.
Well, there are still FA’s and potential guys at 3 to fill this vacancy. More money to hopefully land Paradis, Bell, Coleman, etc.

He got a great offer from Macc.
What are you gonna do? Barr obviously wanted to be in Minnesota more, and the Vikings sweetened their offer to keep him. I’m not celebrating anything until I see signatures on paper tomorrow.
good call.
Yea
cousins was probably giving him tips.,
fuck him and Cousins
I hope they both suck next tear
HAHAHA!!! How many times can Mike Mac make himself and the Jets Org. look like a bunch of inept FOOLS? This is the 3rd time a Player used the Jets offer to stay or go to another team! Thats now 2 Vikes Players and Dumb Suh. How much longer with the Johnsons put up with his BAD over paid signings and getting slapped in the face with his offers and then Horrible, awful Drafts that are not a first round top 6th pick? Hey Dumb GM of Jets, make an offer on the phone and Fax the sign sheet to the agent /Player and phone vid signing and tell them to sign it because when you hang up the offer goes! Hey Johnsons, are you really letting Mikey spend a 100 Mil. again and Draft? Could put us in cap hell and bad Rookies for another 4 years.
BTW, how do you think the rest of the Players and Teams look at our Jets every time a Player does this? Hmmm, do you think to other Players that see this thinks Jets are a good destination with Players pulling out of big contracts by Jets? Makes the Jets Org. look bad.
Totally inappropriate on this board.
Can't legally do that until tomorrow......................................
That was the first thing I thought of in this situation. It always seems to be the Vikes. This is almost identical to Winfield.
I don't blame Mac for this. All you can do is offer a contract to someone and if they have shitty character and can't keep their word then I don't want that type of player anyway. He was being overpaid for his stats anyway. Paradis is way more important.
And what he got from the Vikings seem way high for a cover backer (how they used him)
I've watched him get burned numerous times as a cover LB. He never played rush LB in Minnesota so his stats reflect that. I just hope Mosley doesn't do the same thing because he loves Baltimore.
Huh? You can sign a bonded contract of intent. Meanwhile ESPN, NFL and every other Network crew are Laughing at Jets about the LBer pulling out and now Bell holding out and saying "if you are Jets are you really going to pressure Bell to sign?" . Thats the kind of crap Mikey Mac as GM does representing the Jets Org. Embarrassing to have everyone in NFL media laughing at our Org.
