    Well, don't talk sense. If he's supposedly so bad that he should be cut to save $2.45 million, why wasn't he benched during the season? Probably because the Jets didn't have anybody better. Cutting Hunter is not going to make the guy who wasn't good enough to put him on the bench any better. DOH.

    If only there was some way that teams could go out and sign players who arent currently on teams, and pay them to play on their team.

    Thats what the nfl really needs

    This is great news for Wayne Hunter but horrible news for Mark Sanchez and the rest of Jet Nation. I guess Tanny either doesn't wanna admit he fucked up giving Hunter the money last year OR there really isn't ANY OTHER OPTION anywhere in the football universe available that's better than Highway Hunter.

    We may be looking at the beginning of the end of Tanny's career as the GM of the NYJ's if this season's personnel moves sucks as much as last year's. Maybe the man just can't admit he fucked up. Who knows but I am beginning to lose what little faith I had left in this FO/CS.

    I think 2012 will tell us alot about which way this woebegone franchise is headed both on the field and in the braintrust.

    Actually I think they can. I think if they were on a team at the end of the season and they've been cut/released since then, they may not be able to sign with new teams yet but I'm not sure. If they haven't been on a team in a while they're free to sign where ever I think.

    Now, I don't want to rain on your Hunter Hating party here, but you might just want to take PFF's grades with a grain of salt. Maybe a whole salt shaker. PFF also graded the Bills OL as the second best in the league, and the Bills LT, Demetrius Bell, as second best LT in the league.

    Think about that. The Bills OL was so bad that Gailey designed a short passing spread offense based primarily on the QB taking three step drops and getting the ball gone almost as fast as it hits his hands, and the nerdy stat boys at PFF proclaim it second best in the league. That says that the algorithm (ie, the methodology) they're using to calculate OL effectiveness is conceptually or logically wrong.

    i can't see how hunter will start. Will probably used as depth. If he does start, well then damn. I guess next season will be just as bad as this one was

    If you pay a backup RT 2.5 million guarenteed when youre strapped for cash against the cap you immediately get fired.

    Hunter IS starting

    i dont see what they see in him. Is he miraculously gonna learn how to keep sanchez from getting killed. This is a head scratching move.

    You don't pay that kind of salary to a backup.

    You're right...which means Sanchez is going to get killed.

    It also appears that BAD STARTING TACKLES are also expensive----see this clown making 2. 5 million!

    How is this guy still a Jet ?

    Don't hold your breath waiting for Tanny to admit he fucked up by signing Hunter to that rediculous contract. Ain't gonna happen no matter what.

    Either that or a new TE next to him at all times.
