Expect Mark Brunell to sign with the Jets shortly now that Taylor has signed

I thought Brunell couldnt sign with the Jets if the Jets acquired Taylor... something about the final 4 rule?

You know what? You're right. I got it backwards. Brunell can still sign but probably not until August sometime.

Clearance sale in Dallas!

The Cowboys have reportedly put DE Marcus Spears, LB Bobby Carpenter, S Pat Watkins, G/C Cory Procter, and WR Sam Hurd on the trade block.
The former two were first-round picks. Spears was outplayed by his backups a year ago, and may be available for a late-round pick. Carpenter could appeal to 4-3 teams that play a less physical style of defense. Watkins is highly athletic with incredible size, but highly prone to injury. Having signed their tenders, Procter and Hurd are free to be moved immediately.

Marcus Spears

Most of those players are crap, but Hurd would be a nice pickup (and Spears would have been fine -- pre-Carriker).

Seattle reached agreement with former Broncos guard Ben Hamilton, reuniting him with former Denver OL coach Alex Gibbs.

Bad memories of that 2008 MNF game have re-emerged from the dark abyss....

Slowly breaking up the best line in the NFL?

Faneca gone after draft?
2:50
PM ET
Alan Faneca | Jets Top Email

Within a breakdown of some as of yet unreported names that could be traded this week, Michael Lombardi of National Football Post included New York Jets guard Alan Faneca. Furthermore, Lombardi wrote, Faneca is "the first to go after the draft."

Faneca is on year No. 3 of a five-year, $40 million deal. In spite of Faneca's skill level, we're not sure that any team would be interested in trading for a 34-year-old O-lineman with that kind of contract; because of this, the waiving option is more likely than a trade. The other logical extension of this rumor is that the Jets are likely to draft an interior lineman or two this weekend, possibly as early as their first overall selection at No. 29. Possibilities there include Florida C/G Maurkice Pouncey and Idaho G Mike Iupati.

Hahahaha. I think this is funny as crap. Taylor feels that Miami won't pick him up again so he goes to the rival and tries to twist Miami's arm into making a decision and keeping him. Miami plays the games for about 2 weeks and finally says no we don't want you. Mean while the Jets are treated to "oh wait Miami is interested in me and I really hate the Jets and don't want to be one so let me see if Miami will take me back." Only to be rebuffed by Miami. lol. If I was a Jet I'd boo that mother every time he got on the field.

He really ended a good career on a pathetic 3 years.

I thought that he'd end up back there.
