[quote=golfer;796454]Considering Nnamdi's statements about the Eagles being his top choice all along, it looks like the Jets got played by his agent, who coincidentally also represents Cromartie. Use the Jets to drive up Nnamdi's price, then know they will come running back to Cromartie afterwards, driving up his price as well.

Burress for $3 million isn't a huge risk, hopefully he can still play a little.

As for letting Brad Smith go, the kick-off rule change, which got forgotten about due to the labor strife, makes that part of the game less important. While he is an excellent Wildcat QB, I think he proved over the last 3 years he is not a very good WR. Great guy who performed admirably in big spots, but unquestionably expendable.[/]


If Nnamdi's agent used the Jets as contract leverage and ONLY got him 60 over 5, then i'd be inclined to say he did a piss poor job. I was shocked to see he signed for 12 a year - when reports had him going for 17 at the least. I wonder if the Bucs ever had an offer on the table, bein tht they have serious wiggle room with spending this year.

Eagles went all-in this year, and picked up a 2nd and 5th rounder for nxt yr in the process. #birdgang
