Jets har skrevet kontrakt med WR/PR Tim Dwight.
Læs her hvad Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum har at sige om Dwight, de øvrige signinger og Abraham-handlen:
Patrick Ramsey – "We feel that he has significant untapped upside in his ability. He has had valuable experience in this league. He’s smart, he’s team-oriented. I think he will mesh well with the program, and he’ll come in and compete for a position.
Kimo von Oelhoffen – "Kimo was a key member of the Pittsburgh defense that helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl. He’s tough, he’s consistent, he gives maximum effort, and he’s a leader on and off the field."
Matt Chatham – "Matt is a versatile player, somebody who was with Coach Mangini on the three Super Bowl winning teams with the Patriots. He knows the system. He will increase the competitiveness at the linebacker position, and he’ll be a key special teams player for us."
Tim Dwight – "I am also happy to announce that we have signed Tim Dwight. Tim gives us a punt returner and we also feel like he gives us a different type of receiver. He creates speed for the game and adds a change of pace element to our receiving group."
Trade – "When we placed the franchise tag on John, we were fully prepared for him to remain a Jet. But when a trade was in the works, we made it clear to all parties that we were going to do whatever deal was in our best interest. In the end, we think the trade worked out best for everybody. We are very pleased with the compensation from Atlanta as well as through Denver. We’re happy for John that he can move on and be with a team that he can have success with. I want to thank John for his valuable contributions to the team over the last few years, and I wish him and his family well."
... Jeg synes at Tannenbaum er kommet rigtig godt fra start som Jets nye GM. Han har fået gennemført nogle vigtige kontraktændringer med en lang række spillere, hentet et par solide spillere i FA. Ok, det er ikke nogen der gør Jets til Super Bowl kandidater, men det er gode spillere til en rimlig penge. Jeg synes også at han fortjener en hånd for at hive et 1. rounde draft pick hjem for Abraham. Nogle vil sikkert mene at det skulle have været højere end det 29., men Jets var i en svær situation. Alle vidste at Jets ville af med Abraham (og omvendt) og det er nu engang ikke det bedste udgangspunkt for forhandlinger hvor man gerne vil have så meget som muligt. Tannenbaum siger godt nok at man var parate til at beholde Abraham, men Abraham ville seriøst væk og det er sjældent, at der kommer noget godt ud af at holde på en spiller med den indstilling.
Thumbs up herfra!
