You're probably right, look what they paid Howard last year.
Iupati off market (Glauber announces Jets signing, then says report was fake.)

Daily News, CBS local and Sacramento Bee are reporting that the Jets are aggressively pursuing Iupati within this past hour.
I can’t take this anymore first a report came out that we signed him, then it come out the report was fake and now 3 different outlets are reporting within the hour that we are pushing hard for him. Mac step it up and MAKE IT HAPPENED!

But reports of signings have been being leaked for days now.
Let's take a step back and wait to see what happens. He's not the only guard out there. And I agree that the Raiders have more cap space and won't cause him to move. I would think the Jets will be competitive but signing him seems like 50/50 at best.
Boy this thread went from really good to terrible pretty quickly. Nothing more important (other than the QB) than the offensive line. While I wanted Franklin more becuase of his pass blocking Iupati now needs to be a priority. However, I get the feeling that the Raiders will overpay and we will be out. Perhaps Clint Boling is another option.

...but the leaks were for Lupati, not Iupati. Those are new rumors.
Good point. And that guy only netted a 7.5M deal annually. I consider Iupati a higher-profile guy.
True dat....but the leaks were for Lupati, not Iupati. Those are new rumors.

People who hack Twitter accounts should be tarred and feathered. I didn't find that even the slightest bit amusing.
Mike Iupati - G - 49ers
The New York Daily News reports the Jets are making an "aggressive push" to sign free agent OG Mike Iupati.
Per the San Francisco Chronicle, the Raiders are also "hot after" Iupati. Signing Iupati would give the Jets a left side of LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, LG Iupati, and C Nick Mangold on new OC Chan Gailey's offensive line. The Jets are likely to have suspect quarterback play in 2015, so running the football should be their calling card. Iupati is at his best when run blocking.
