Shanahan will still take chances (as someone else said) he's gone after Meriweather with his head hunting on the field and DUI's off the field, to Tanard and his constant suspensions, Trent and Fred may have had good seasons last year but they're also one puff away from being suspended for a while, so they're not perfect character guys, because weed and being tolerant of it can also put a bad culture in a lockeroom (not saying Shanahan isn't, because he's not going to cut his LT or starting TE). 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.
