Jets Add Suggs
Jets just traded DB Derrick Strait to Cleveland for RB Lee Suggs. So we can put all those Betts rumors to rest now

Re: Jets Add Suggs
The Jets are so hopeless their Franchise will not recover in for the next 3-5 years and thats if they can break the NY Knick mentality of brilliancy. Sorry Matt ** Disclaimer- do not respond about Knicks***

Re: Jets Add Suggs
Interesting, this muddies the FF waters big time in Jets-town, but might re-open the door for "Backstabber" Willie Green in Cleveland.

Re: Jets Add Suggs
If they were even thinking about trading Betts, that all ended when Portis went down Sunday.

Re: Jets Add Suggs
Now that they won't be able to trade him for anything, we should keep an eye on Lee Suggs. He's worth a 6th rnd. pick, or maybe we could nab him as soon as he hits the waiver wire.
He's got durability issues & doesn't have great balance, but he has blazing speed & can hit the hole as quick as anybody. |

Doubt it. Didn't pass the physical, we're already having issues here and there and I can't see us bringing in a guy like this. Besides, I think the focus, besides Portis, is to get Ladell up and running and signed for a few more years. |

Re: Jets Add Suggs
you're probably right, I wonder why he failed his physical & how long he'll be out. If he can get healthy early in the year though, he'd be a great 3rd string back to have, or 2nd if CP is still out.

WHY?!??!?!?!?!? We have Portis and even if Portis would be lost for the year, which is unlikely, Betts will step right in and keep up our 100-yard+ rushing games. Cartwright is a GREAT backup (3rd-stringer) and that rookie Lumsden is a quality 4th- stringer/emergency back. Even with Kerry Carter, we have an incredibly deep RB situation. Not just deep, QUALITY depth. Suggs would be a wasted roster spot. It's bad enough Todd Collins will be on the roster. We could use another CB or LB. Those positions can NEVER have enough backups. |
