This is likely the agent seeing how Mosely worked it....no other teams looking to go that high? Send out a release that the player is considering staying so the Jets need to put distance between what Broncos offered and the new one....looks like Jets had to offer $3M per yr over what Balt did...expect similar with Paradis....Mac knows its a must sign...and so do the agents....I think Jets land him but will be closer to $13MThey can't afford him imo
if this is true - disaster.......used againBarr changed his mind. Will re-sign with Minn
I don't know. meh. What's funny is that last night I was on a Vikings message board and all their fans were saying that he was overrated and glad that he wasn't coming back. The Jets were suckers, etc. That board will be funny now.if this is true - disaster.......used again
or Ansahthis is the problem with having to overpay these guys in FA....they dont really want to be here and the "legal tampering" period gives them chance to change their mind.....sucks but let's see how Mac rebound...Justin Houston?
They uppped their offer to Bell. Final offer. Take it or leave it.Trying to find the silver lining with it....I stil love Barr but the fact id they were going to use him as an edge rusher which he hasnt done since college.....maybe Houston or another pure edge would be better....also gives them more $ for Paradis and Bell so MAc can rebound if he gets of the mat quick....any way you cut it this is bad PR ...especially after the Cousins fiasco last yr...screw the Vikings!
agree with that - Jets are being used.....give him a deadline and move on.....They uppped their offer to Bell. Final offer. Take it or leave it.
Well the good thing is they are in position to get a stud pass rusher in the draft. This also frees up money for Paradis and Bell.this is the problem with having to overpay these guys in FA....they dont really want to be here and the "legal tampering" period gives them chance to change their mind.....sucks but let's see how Mac rebound...Justin Houston?
Actually, that's what's being reported. Not my opinion.agree with that - Jets are being used.....give him a deadline and move on.....
And a CB, Andre Roberts, kickerWell the good thing is they are in position to get a stud pass rusher in the draft. This also frees up money for Paradis and Bell.
LeVeon is back on the table and I have heard Jamie Collins could fit with Greg Williams.Well the good thing is they are in position to get a stud pass rusher in the draft. This also frees up money for Paradis and Bell.
I was having nightmares during pre-REM last night. It was bad.@rockaction The Jets gave Bell a deadline. Your agony will be over soon enough

Better Jets tenure: Anthony Barr or Bill Belichick?
F Bell (until we get him ) - go back and overpay Paradis, sign Coleman or Ingram and start looking to fill out the roster with the rest of the money.at this point its time to end it....if he doesnt commit now then its time to move on....I would love Bell but need to stop being used and bidding against themselves...if he passes so be it....Mac can use all the extra $ for Paradis, Coleman and a pass rusher for a nice rebound....
I would be ok with Paradis and Coleman - no interest in Ingram....doesnt fit the model with his age.....I think they dont get Bell so its time to rebound and move on.F Bell (until we get him ) - go back and overpay Paradis, sign Coleman or Ingram and start looking to fill out the roster with the rest of the money.
Oh, is that all?Joe CaporosoVerified account @JCaporoso 1m1 minute ago
So as it stands now, #Jets have added ILB - C. Mosley Slot WR - J. Crowder OG - K. Osemele Still need to address pass rusher, center, running back/playmaker, corner, slot corner and TE/OL depth
Hopefully they stay in-house for that and bring back Myers and Roberts.kicker and kick returner
Seriously, F Bell pull the offer and sign Coleman.The pursuit of running back Le'Veon Bell is reportedly down to two teams. Unless it isn’t.
At a time when some reports indicate that the free-agent running back will choose between the Jets and the Ravens, a league source tells PFT that there have been no negotiations between the Ravens and Bakari. At all.
The thinking is that someone is trying to push the Ravens as a potential destination for Bell in order to get the only remaining candidate — the Jets — to pay more. The source speculates that the Baltimore interest in Bell is being fabricated by Bell and/or Bakari, for obvious reasons, and that is has morphed into a major production, all aimed at freaking out the Jets at a time when they’re already reeling from Anthony Barr deciding not to sign in New York and to stay in Minnesota.
Again, all’s fair in love, war, and football. Negotiations in all industries often include plenty of puffing and bluffing, and unless the Ravens make an unexpected 11th-hour run at Bell, they currently aren’t in it, and they haven’t been.
I hope the figures being tossed around about the Jets and Bell ($17-20 M annual, $60 M guaranteed) are as accurate as the other tweets have been about this whole situation.If you want to feel better go into the Vikings thread. They seem major upset that the Vikings paid Barr so much to come back.
If that was true he would have signed already.I hope the figures being tossed around about the Jets and Bell ($17-20 M annual, $60 M guaranteed) are as accurate as the other tweets have been about this whole situation.
And the guy throwing around those numbers said he was signing with the Raiders forty minutes ago, so there's that.If that was true he would have signed already.
Barr reneging bothered me for about 30 seconds - but honestly they were going to pay him an awful lot to change positions when they could just get a great young pass rusher in the draft anyway. They have many holes to fill and can spend that money elsewhere now.My boss is a big Jets fan. He was excited this morning about the Mosley/Barr news, now with Barr out and an obnoxious contract rumoring for Bell, he’s put his Jets face back on.

The latest Bell "news" is bogus - if he had $60MM guaranteed on the table we wouldn't be talking about where he MAY sign. He'd be a Jet already.
My dog Lucky has been a Jets fan for 14 years. He growled when he heard the news. My new puppy Bailey just yawned. They both went out into the yard and went #1 and #2. They seem over it now.My boss is a big Jets fan. He was excited this morning about the Mosley/Barr news, now with Barr out and an obnoxious contract rumoring for Bell, he’s put his Jets face back on.
Latest I heard is Bell is going to have to settle for $11-12MM a year as that's all he's being offered. If that's the case then I'm on board with adding a playmaker for Sam.This sort of strikes me as inevitable right now.
Bell to the Jets. I'll get used to it, I guess.
