Unless JS is confident Clady will never play again, I don't see why he didn't make a better offer than what the Jets gave. Wow.

The Jets are reportedly acquiring LT Ryan Clady, who has missed 30 of the past 48 games due to injury, to replace the durable D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

Again, this is just more evidence of how comfortable the hawks are with Gilliam at LT. They could have kept okung for cheap. They could have traded a 5th fir clady.

Oly wrote:Ah. That explains it (the restructure part). I can also believe that they're comfortable with Gilliam, but I don't share that confidence. When it comes to the OL, they've lost any benefit of my doubt.

This game has a lot of turn over with players and management. Just look at Coughlin with 2 Super Bowl wins and is now ushered out the door.
But they've (Front Office and Scouting Dept.) been on a roll so maybe we can get another 5 years of good drafts out of them.

Imagine how different the team would look if they had actually signed Peyton Manning who they were taking a hard run at signing.
The OL would have to be far better, but would the results have been as good?
NorthHawk wrote:I get the impression they have a decision matrix and from their point of view the OL (with an extremely mobile QB) can be an area where fewer dollar costs need be spent. It's not something we are accustomed to so it's difficult to accept but it might be the wave of the future considering the league wide coaching/FO's dissatisfaction with Offensive Linemen coming out of College. It's odd in that they (across the league) pay top dollar for good QB's, then spend little protecting that asset, but if players aren't as good as they formerly were, they might as well have a slowly revolving door along the line and keep the costs low.
