No. Jets locker room doesn't need any of those malcontent retreads.

Hes slow, but has fresh legs, and at least can add a red zone threat and some height out there to open things up for kerley and keller underneath
LOL. Plax will be laughing if we have a shot of making the playoffs as a wildcard contender, play Pitt and watch Plax destroy us. If we play Pitt beware of Plax. He should be here and the outcome so far this year would have been a lot different. Another Tannebaum mistake.

terrell owens and jeremy shockey have won the big game. how many guys on our roster have? we need productive guys who can play the game not guys like clyde gates and others who wouldnt make anyother teams practice squad in the nfl.

i know these guys are old and have been trouble but at this point what do we have to lose we are 4-6. not 10-0. thanks

I love Cromartie on this team. Yes, he can be a knucklehead sometimes, but he definitely not a cancer in the locker room. He does everything to defend the Jets and not hurt the players... (reference: "Fukc Brady" comment.

Terrell Owens has never won the big game. A career cancer. Shockey is one in the same.

I must have missed the 2 rings when he was playing with the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bills and Bengals.

Also, Shockey technically has 2 rings, 1 with the Giants (when he was IR'd mid season which he was traded the next season toooooo (2nd ring) The Saints.

You mean Sanchez's close friend? Of course he's back, for the same reason that Scotty McKnight was drafted and Konrad R.'s still hanging around.

They're all friends of Sanchez.

So our GM, instead of finding guys from his own alma mater like Cruz or a JERSEY kid like Miles Austin - who played right down the road from FP - signs guys who Sanchez is buds with.

Anyone still confused why our roster sucks?

we have one of the weakest wr corps in the league. yet some are happy with it. lets all board the clyde gates and wr underachievers bandwagon woo hoo!!!!!!!!

ever wonder why sanchez is struggling? look no further.

bring in guys who will bring out the best in sanchez and make him throw the ball more efficiently and effectively. and when he doesnt they will let him know about it.

we have nothing to lose in giving terrell owens a workout and see what hes got left. otherwise lets caddle sanchez and bring in his buddy turner and why not scotty mcknight while were at it.

I have posted many times over the last 2 years about how overrated I thought Cro was, but this season he has really upped his game to a new level, even actually making contact with ballcarriers...he deserves respect for that.

Don't understand the love affair with Turner. Why hasn't Riley been giving another shot.

I would agree that Riley is a much better receiver, but I think that Turner has been paid for the year, on the roster after the first game, entitled to his yearly salary, therefore in a sense Turner is free... IMO he is also a marginal special teams player, which if your the 5th receiver has some merit...Sanchez USC buddy

Bet you Plaxico sticks with Pittsburgh for two more years.


We need an endzone threat and Mike let's him walk away...
