I said there was no way we were going to resign Harris because I didn't think we could justify paying him when the ILB position is so deep in the NFL. Solid ILB and MLBs are a dime a dozen, unless you have a Willis or Ray Lewis in his prime, there isn't that much difference between and average player at the position and a Pro Bowler. Having said that, Harris certainly should have been a Pro Bowler last year, but if Jets were going to resign him, it should have been for much less. I don't get why they paid him Franchise Tag money for 4 years. Makes no sense at all.

thanks for saving me all that time....well said.
