Brees given franchise tag

fuzzyjetsfan · 03-03-2012, 04:11 PM

First step in saving face. Shoulda have paid the man then franchised Nicks IMO.

It means Nicks is going to a FA. Sign that beast! :)

LockeJET · 03-03-2012, 04:38 PM

Jets are not paying Nicks. He will get a 60 million dollar contract with 20 plus guaranteed.

That would be cheap.

FijiJet · 03-03-2012, 06:12 PM

Looks like Nicks will be out of the Jets price range

He was a 5th rd pick we took Erik Ainge that year(08) 2 picks before the Saints took Nicks..:(

TheMo · 03-03-2012, 07:49 PM

Grubbs might be a cheaper alternative.

Sooo, before any of the haters get in...

How many draft choices would you give for Brees?

0 the NYJETS dont have the speed skills to be able to operate in a Drew Brees quick downfield attack offense.

So you're saying there's a chance?

[QUOTE=Vin;4383340]Ummm....All of them? ;)[/QUOTE]

2 first rounders and a 2nd next year plus Mark Sanchez... would you do it?

Brees wouldnt come to the NYJETS for all the money in the world.

Yeah, and if we had a crystal ball, we could have taken Tom Brady in the sixth round instead of Tony Scott.

I cannot express how much of a NO in spending 2 first round picks and Sanchez.

I'm just trying to stir the pot. I'm a Sanchez supporter, I just want to see what kind of reaction I'd get. So far pretty good.

You can't pay 2 guards that type of money and expect to be OK at other positions in the future. Stupid way of running a team.

Unless you wanted to franchise and trade Nicks.
