Around The NFL

[Football51]

Likely some gear shifting going on in the Jets drawing board room for next week. I'm sure we planned to be in on the bidding day 1 of free agency for Jackson.

Yup, now I'd like Culliver.

A league source says the #Eagles have made safety Devin McCourty a top priority. #Patriots still want him back.



Charles Robinson @CharlesRobinson · 11m11 minutes ago

Byron Maxwell and Devin McCourty looks like an either/or situation for #Eagles. I'm not sure they can make the best offer to both.

League source says with the #Jaguars likely to miss on targets Suh/Cobb/Murray, tight end Julius Thomas will become a major priority.

Jackson's deal includes $20 million in guarantees. #Texans

Kareem Jackson's deal is worth $8.5 million, per year. Great for him. #Texans

Bucs are keeping S Major Wright. He's agreed to terms



Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo · 15m15 minutes ago

Situation to watch now in Tampa: S Dashon Goldson is no lock to return, even with $4m of his $7.5m guaranteed. Cut, trade both possible.

Texans take one of the top CBs off the market, reaching agreement with Kareem Jackson on 4-year deal, per source.



Damn.............​

I'd think the focus would be on Maxwell, Revis, and Cromartie now. We've got serious competition for Maxwell, and probably Revis, too. I really hope we come out of this by late week with at least Cromartie. McCourty is another DB I'd love. He'd be a perfect fit alongside Pryor.

 

[TebowCan'tThrow]

We better at least get Cro!!

 

[mykcuz]

Sign Cro quick, it's a done deal and quarantees they don't get caught with nothing. Takes little energy for Bowles to call cro while mac calls revis etc.

Now that Kareem Jackson is off the market it's going to be a war with Philadelphia (both the Jets and Eagles need 2 CB's) to sign the remaining top tier CB's on the market (Maxwell, Culliver, Cromartie, probably Revis). Both teams have a lot of cash to spend. Get ready to overpay but that is the price of doing business in the NFL with 20M more in cap space over the last two years.

Mike, Keep an eye on Davon House CB from the Packers. Based on the interview I heard with Maxwell, it sounds like he wants to play for the Eagles.

Go Jets...Cyborg

Revis and Maxwell are gonna get PAID. I just hope Macc can convince one of them to come to the Jets.

We need one of these players badly. And don't think they both don't know it. Either one, and Cromartie, and the CB position is settled.

 

[ucrenegade]

Don't forget davon house would also be nice and it looks like the eagles cb that stayed overnight will be signed also.

...for an alleged 13M.

Why spending big and winning march doesn't always translate to success.

Dolphins 2013 free agency binge not looking good now. Signed Gibson, Wheeler, Ellerbe, Wallace, re-signed Hartline. All cut or on way out.

lol...i remember when so many posters on the old board were going nuts over the dolphins spending spree.

yet another failed march super bowl winner...

I don't see the love affair with Cromartie. It reminds me of the love affair fans had with Braylon Edwards. It's all about what he had done as a Jet in the past.

He adds cheap depth in a unit that is worthless. And is a great teammate.

 

[SackExchange]

Do we know how cheap he will be? And is he what we really need? He's not really a #1 , and a legit #1 would allow Milliner to be the #2 , and McDougle or another CB to be the nickel.

 

[BlindsideD'Brick]

Cromartie had a bounce back year following his injury-riddled season the previous year in NY. That's boosted his status for sure. I'm thinking Cro would be a system fit under Bowles, a seamless transition. And he's 31, which contrary to popular opinion isn't exactly geriatric. Like Marshall, he's got a few good years left, and at a position of dire need for the Jets.

If the Jets land Maxwell or Revis, I'm fine without Cro. But Maxwell and Revis are going to have many suitors.

 

[SackExchange]

Sounds like Suh will be a Dolphin.
