I understand McClain to you would fit more in the Meriweather catergory because he got arrested, but he's worth a chance. You don't loose anything if you sign him to a 1 year deal w/ limited guaranteed money.

But then the question becomes would McClain sign a one year deal. Market will dictate that. But then you also have the problem with London too, because of his contract.

It's killing me how stupid the Jets are. I mean STUUUUUPID. They might as well have kept Tennebum was moronic stuff like this. So you have ONE team that wants this guy, and they are willing to give you a 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks and you STILL haven't pulled the trigger? This is a guy you don't want to pay and want to move on to. Guess what? That deal isn't going to get any sweeter, it's only going to get worse.

Y! SPORTS

Woody Johnson should asking his new GM why hasn't this deal been made yet.

They Jets should make any team trading for Revis take Tebow as a throw-in.

Jets are becoming the raiders east. And honestly I'm tired of hearing about the jets, they have never been any good honestly, they have 1 SB title and that was 40 years ago. Only reason they get any time is because of the NY factor. They aren't much better historically than Philadelphia

How do the Cowboys have enough money to possibly sign Winston & we don't?

@AdamSchefter: Cowboys now in talks to sign former Chiefs OT Eric Winston.

That Guy · 04-08-2013, 04:00 PM

yeah, the jets have made a lot of weird decisions in the rex ryan era... if they aren't paying revis, take your picks and be happy about it.

I personally wouldn't want revis, since he never seems to be happy with his contract, and he's missed games recently as well.

They freed up about $5M with Romo's new deal.

I thought they made that deal in order to sign the 2 players they already had deals agreed upon with but were unable to sign due to cap room.

Justin Durant & someone else.

They also cut Armstrong, who subsequently came back at a lower price.

Winston isn't some all pro player, hes decent but that's it.

They'll cut Doug Free. He's as good as gone next off-season anyways looking at his cap number.

He doesn't really fit their big bruiser system either.

I wonder why the Chiefs released him. I guess they're intent on taking one of the tackles with their first pick and create a monster of a duo at both tackle spots.

At the very least it looks like character was the least among the reasons that led to his release. Lots of respect from his now former teammates.
Eric Winston cut by the Kansas City Chiefs - Arrowhead Pride
