I'm a Landry fan but I don't think these guys are keeping any players that they are not absolutely sure will be able to contribute
I don't agree with the thought that the Jets might be in the top 6 in the AFC
They have been very competitive but they are just not able to get it over the finish line
I'm not anti the Jets - they are just mired in the same, never quite enough group ,, just like the eagles |

Like many, while I am sad to see a "original" Redskin leave....i.e. one drafted by us and with us for several seasons....kind of like the player that our Coach and GM say they want for the team......I can understand this. Landry was oft injured, and would not conform to what the team requested WRT handling of his achilles injury. Additionally, I am in agreement with some opinions on NLF radio today concerning this signing by Jets, as I am not sure if Landy's head is really still into football as he looks more like an Arnold clone that a pro safety.
Like other "original" Redskins that have left us, I certainly wish him well and good health (especially since he is in the AFC now).......but I also agree that he will never be a Skin again, he definitely feels slighted from what I read. |

If he wants to to play for a good team, he'll jump at the chance to come back - that's what players do when trhey only sign a 1 year deal
they go to a better team
The Jets are going nowhere and besides, we always get any player we want from them  |
That's the best deal Landry could get. The Jets are not taking more than a 1 year bet on Landry's health. |
Still, I would love to make $500k per game. I know, $4M/16 is a1/4 million, but it is 1/2 mil / game over the 8 games he will play. |
The details of Landry's contract have come out. Not as good as it was reported.

Very interesting structure on the Landry deal: $700k base, $950k SB and a roster bonus paid out per week if he is on 46-man roster. #nyj

Jenny Vrentas is a beat writer for the NY Jets. She also tweeted that the max for Landry is $3.5 mil.
A roster bonus for each week he is on the 46 man roster not 53, so he has to be active. |

Laron was a victim of two situations:
1) His unwillingness to undergo surgery; and
2) Reduced cap space after the NFL cap penalty.
I had tremendous high hopes for him when he first arrived. He never delivered the way I expected. Good? Yes! Pro-bowl? Definitely not. He was never an elite safety in the NFL.
Not going to enter into the speculation of what couda, shouda, or wouda happened IF Sean Taylor had been around. I have no question in my mind that the history of the Skins, including Joe Gibbs II, would have been different. But that is another painful story. Living in the present, not in the past.
He wanted out. It was time. Thanks and good luck. |

WOW. Talk about incentive-laden. LL will have to prove himself if he ever wants starter money again in this league. |

I don't think that the reduced salary cap had anything to do with this. |

We will agree to disagree.  |
