H2o Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3671/antonio-cromartie Jets released CB Antonio Cromartie. The move saves $9.5 million in cap room, clearing a $4.3 million salary, $5 million roster bonus, and $200,000 workout bonus off the books. Cromartie was a legit shutdown corner in 2012, but his play slipped dramatically in 2013 as he battled a chronic hip injury, appearing stiffer than ever. Still only 30 years old -- he turns in April -- Cromartie will be a boom-or-bust free agent signing. The Jets have flirted with free agent Alterraun Verner, and appear poised to move on.

YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Bob Glauber @BobGlauber 27m In less than 11 months, the Jets have parted with their top two corners - first Darrelle Revis and now Antonio Cromartie. #nflreality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 What real sense would it make for them to sign Byrd at this juncture? Their best CB played horribly last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 What real sense would it make for them to sign Byrd at this juncture? Their best CB played horribly last season. They are crazy thin in the secondary. Milliner looking like a bust so far. If I am Byrd, I don't go where I am the only one back there who can play. At least in Buffalo he has some other 1st and 2nd rd talent back there. I think the Jets are the team he most likes to play AGAINST, anyway, lol. He sure feasted on Sanchez and Geno.

YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chargers sign him again. They are desperate at corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 May i suppose , part of the notification here was to ask consideration as to his being looked at by OBD. I would think not. I also had no thoughts that Byrd was pondering becoming a Jet. And even less so now. Also wow. The Jets appear to be, ahem , rebuilding ? Or something like that ?

I think he's trending away from bust status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing official on their interest in him, however it has been speculated that they will go after him because they are so thin at the Safety position and because he played so well in Pettine's D and could easily slip into Rex's. Milliner had a pretty good second half of the year. I think he's trending away from bust status. Did he? They better hope that is the case as he was picked so high. It is hard to break into the league as a corner. I think Walls was decent last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 But i would think it would be low on Jairus wish list I agree, as I said earlier, I doubt he wants to be the only guy in the secondary who can play. But who knows, money talks. Maybe he and Rex can have long talks about feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Jets are the team he most likes to play AGAINST, anyway, lol. He sure feasted on Sanchez and Geno. That's why I think Byrd will sign with a team who has a more established defense. To me, the Eagles or Rams make the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
