Reading some interviews with players it seems Kirk was not really about the team.

Fuller is missed more.

Why is it Kirk’s fault if the Jets offer him stupid money? I still think he ends up in Denver or Minnesota but if NY does something crazy like a totally guaranteed deal who could blame him? Don’t lie you’d do it too

I agree KC will probably not end up in NY. He is already financially set for life and he is looking for a team that can be a Super Bowl contender. Wherever he goes he will be well paid.

Kirk Cousins sucks in New York. He ain't going there. He doesn't seem like a great fit for that market either.

SIAP

Jarvis Landry got the non-exclusive franchise tag. $16 million for a WR who averaged less than 10.0 per reception ??? more insanity

So does everyone remember when fans had a shit fit when the Redskins let Chris Baker go to Tampa?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers release RB Doug Martin, DT Chris Baker

This could get interesting. Carruth does not deserve custody of his son, not now or ever. But if he is truly repentant about the harm he caused, it would be a good start for him to try to be there for the kid, provided the kid and his caretaker are ok with it. If they aren't he should seek a fresh start elsewhere.

He shouldn’t be allowed within 100 miles of the kid that he almost killed and left handicapped for life. Its one thing to say you are sorry to your kid for yelling at them a bit too loud but to apologize for having their mother killed and causing them severe disability throughout the course of their life is just ridiculous.
Im all for second chances except when you try to kill someone. That sort of negates the rest of your existence together.

It's not and I am one who believes it was never about the money with Kirk but more power to him.On the Jets side they are looking for their "ELI" someone who they know can be a great representative of the team and can play football.The Jets have had such a bad time with QB's they will try anything . I just don't know if this is good for the league?

Why is it not good for the league for a team to spend available cap space? The Jets could give Kirk $60M and still have $40M for other moves.

I think some of us kinda got a biased opinion on Baker because when here we was our only average DL. All others were below average. So we thought we was good.
Obviously he's not that good. Plus he seems to be a pain in the ass as a person...

I agree Punch, if they had given him the death penalty I honestly wouldn't have cared because it's about as heinous a crime as it gets.

But the whole point of prison is to rehab a person (and while I think most of the time the system fails), so if prison really did rehab him and his son/caretaker are ok with him trying to establish a relationship I don't have a problem with it. I'm sure they won't welcome him with open arms initially (as is their right) but stranger things have happened.

Also can we keep the Kirk discussion to one thread? It's hard to track when we're having the same discussion in two different threads.

What happened when the rookies starting trying to get more and more money?

That 60 million could buy a whole position group with multiple players.

You are taking money from every other guy on the team.

That’s the Jets problem if they decide to make him that offer
