    Does anyone have any information on Coleman? I've never seen the guy play (at least not knowingly).

    Coleman would be nice.

    The Jets are going to have some live bodies in camp. Pouha will be back and should be able to play end as well as tackle. CJ Mosely came along towards the end of last season. I imagine we're going to spend an early draft pick to upgrade. I think we're going to improve dramatically if we can get one more plus player on the defensive line.

    I would also love this signing but hesitate calling him a major player. He is a serviceable 3-4 DE, who will be good in a rotation (probably with KVO). I doubt he will be an every down player. If the trade happens, I'm sure Mr. T got some good feedback from Parcells on his upside. Afterall, I believe he will only be 27 going into next year, so he may yet develop into an every down player, but so far in his career he has been nowhere near that. For the right price, a good, serviceable player, that upgrades a position of need....

    Nah, I can't see Coleman playing OLB in the 3-4. He is about an inch bigger and 30 pounds heavier than Thomas, and doesn't have his speed. He will be in the DE rotation only IMO.....

    Just because BallHawk couldn't get who he wanted he bitches and moans...

    All you do is trash the guys you DONT want...Your just an arrogant person who thinks everything about yourself. If somebody disagrees with you, they're automatically wrong because the almighty ballhawk is always right...

    Well, the entire league thought that Kerry Rhodes was trash enough to forego drafting him until the Jets picked him up in the fourth round. Yet, by the look of your avatar, you think he's a pretty good player. So, not sure I get your point really. Would you prefer to draft #1 every year and be guaranteed "treasure", which even then is no guarantee of anything.
