The Tomcat Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Jets part with Law, cut Fiedler Story Tools: Print Email Blog This Associated Press Posted: 1 hour ago HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) - The New York Jets slashed their payroll Wednesday by parting with Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law and cutting a host of other veterans, including quarterback Jay Fiedler, offensive tackle Jason Fabini and fullback Jerald Sowell. The team is about $26 million over the salary cap and must be at or under the cap by March 3, the opening day of free agency. The Jets have been negotiating with quarterback Chad Pennington, who twice in the last two years had rotator cuff surgery, in an attempt to reduce a cap number that could be as high as $12 million. New York has shaken up its staff and is trying to rebuild under new coach Eric Mangini. These latest moves came a day after the Jets designated defensive end John Abraham their franchise player at $8.3 million, although they may try to trade him. Also cut were three reserves: linebacker Barry Gardner, defensive tackle Lance Legree and wide receiver Harry Williams Jr. The Jets and Law agreed to not exercise contract options for the next three seasons that were part of the deal when he signed last year. The 32-year-old cornerback spent his first 10 seasons with New England and tied for the NFL lead with 10 interceptions last season. "We were very fortunate to have a player of Ty's caliber in 2005," general manager Mike Tannebaum said. "Ty is a warrior and a class act and we appreciate his contributions this past season." Fiedler, who signed with the team last season, injured his shoulder seven plays after Pennington was hurt in the third game last season and did not play again. Fabini and Sowell are longtime starters - Fabini started his first 114 games at offensive tackle until he tore a chest muscle Nov. 18 and was lost for the season. Sowell played for nine seasons.

sfladave Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 We should sign Fiedler. 608743[/snapback] Good God NO! He has been horrible since he was hurt several years ago. His long passes resemble a punt. Just say NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 We should sign Fiedler. 608743[/snapback] Fiedler is certainly a tough competitor - nifty feet, halfway decent arm. He's had a good career, and certainly need not apologize to anyone - he used his talent as well as anybody. But I think his better days are behind.

His last 2 years with the fish he played terrible. He also hasn't gone a full year without missing multiple games since he became a starter.

Fan in Chicago Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Don't know what the going rate for Law would be, but I really wouldn't mind him on our team. That will cement the secondary (assuming we don't trade NC) and can go after pure line(s) help in the draft and rest of free agency. No to Fiedler. If we are going to get a #3, might as well be a low draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that NC was franchised and MaGee was extended, there is virtually no chance of Law coming to Buffalo. That said, I would be far from surprised if Levy takes a corner on day one of the draft. That is what he used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if he spends a Day 1 pick on a corner, our line needs better have been addressed by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
