Pages : 1 [2] 3 MTK 08-01-2005, 01:01 PM The guy has made a fortune over the past couple years in signing bonus money... Why not risk having the surgery now? It's not like he's hurting for money. Either way, it's not our problem anymore. firstdown 08-01-2005, 01:15 PM The guy has made a fortune over the past couple years in signing bonus money... Why not risk having the surgery now? It's not like he's hurting for money. Either way, it's not our problem anymore.I can't remember did he get a new contract with the Jets and another signing bonus or did they just assume his current contract. FRPLG 08-01-2005, 01:17 PM He got a new deal I believe MTK 08-01-2005, 01:19 PM He got a new deal from the Jets with a signing bonus of approx. $8M. Combine that with the $13M we gave him, and the guy has made over $21M in the past 3 seasons from bonuses alone. TheMalcolmConnection 08-01-2005, 01:21 PM He should just ask Randy Moss if he can buy HIS legs with all that money. gortiz 08-01-2005, 01:52 PM For all those people who give St. Joe a hard time for "his personel" moves, lets not forget this one. . . .if it turns out LaColes is a dud for the Jets, Gibbs is looking like a fortune teller! dblanch66 08-01-2005, 02:45 PM ...how many playoff games did LC lead us to...? Hate to say it but the only bad thing about the trade was the cap hit we took. The rest is all good for the Redskins. I think Santana is a better WR and if I remember correctly, he was someone the Redskins thought about drafting a few years back. firstdown 08-01-2005, 02:47 PM He got a new deal from the Jets with a signing bonus of approx. $8M. Combine that with the $13M we gave him, and the guy has made over $21M in the past 3 seasons from bonuses alone.It's funny if you think about what happend. One of the reasons we got rid of him was do to him not having surgery on his toe. We gave him over 5 mil for the trade. The jets gave him 8 mil and the toe was never an issue. He had only one TD with 99 receptions and I would think the toe played a part in his abilty to get into the endzone. Longtimefan 08-01-2005, 04:29 PM I agree with you Matty, I think Coles played with that chip on his shoulder having to do with where he was drafted initially.He's done a masterful job in recouping the money he feels he lost as a result of not being drafted higher. However, I agree that I'm glad it the Jets problem now and not ours. illdefined 08-01-2005, 05:11 PM Coles was an utter warrior, did everything we asked of him and always gave 110%, can't take anything away from him. even hurt, he was productive for us. it's not like Brunell would've been able to throw that far if he was healthy. now, i'll never forgive him for turning his back on us, but with all the uncertainty on offense i understand the reasons why he did. who knows exactly what he'd be like after the surgery, all that matters now is that we have fast in abundance, and hopefully we'll get the separation that was missing last year.
