Optimistic News for Jets Fans

So today I read something that made me very happy considering I am a Jets Fan. Anthony Fasano of the Miami Doplhins will have to take a pay cut he wants to the stay with the team. This news comes out after Head Coach Joe Philbin already stated that the team wanted to get more explosive at Tight End. Fasano would be a great addition to a team in search for a traditional TE which is exactly what Fasano is. He's a very good blocker as well as a good receiver, especially in the Red Zone. He is a Sparano favorite as Sparano traded a 4th round pick to Dallas just to get him when he became the Head Coach of the Dolphins. He already knows Sparano's system as he was with him in Dallas and again in Miami. I think he would be a wonderful compliment to Dustin Keller. He's a player that has given us issues before and he's also given the Patriots issues. If he gets cut then this must definitely be a possibility. He'll get the opportunity to work with the coach he's been with his entire career in Sparano, and he'll be able to stay in the same division and stick it to his old team. And if that is not enough he is orignally from NJ so he will get to come back home. What do you guys think?

It depends on how much cash he wants.

But i wouldn’t mind.

MARK SANCHEZ HAD BETTER STATS THAN TEBOW.

So either Sanchez is better than " second coming " or you have to admit that Tebow is no good.

i agree

Fasano isn’t a bad player and would be a perfect compliment to Keller. its also a good possibility because i think the Dolphins are going to go after Finley from the Packers to reunite with Philbin. that’s if the Pack doesn’t tag him of course.

Imagine having Keller, Fasano, and Cumberland as our tight ends

With Tone, Kerley, and some deep threat at receiver. Now, if we could get our running game on track, and Mark can find his groove, i’m lovin the look of our offense! Now let’s hope sparano can use it.

Yes!

Our Three TE set would be so sick. Keller and Cumberland can line both line up out wide and teams would really be screwed. But yeah if Fasano gets cut there is no way I see him in anything but a Jets uniform.

I'd bring him in for cheap.

He can take mulligan’s number and i’d like a two tight end set with him and keller. Hopefully braylon and holmes are on opposite sides as well

Let's Make sure we play like the f***in NEW YORK JETS
and not some f***in slapd**k team!

I Voted Yes

but it would depend upon how much cap space the Jets have to work with, how much he wants, if that will still allow them to sign a FA S and RT, and/or if Braylon is willing to come back for a reasonable deal. If they can do all four, then fine, if not, it would depend upon whether Braylon would come back if I tried to sign Fasano.

Perhaps Not

but if the price is right, he’d certainly be an upgrade over Mulligan and help the Jets’ offense (and Sanchez).

Depends on the cost, but yeah.

Fasano can block right? I really don’t know, never paid attention to him. But yeah, having a good blobking TE that can also ssneak out in the passing game would be fantastic. Then we could really use Keller as a wild card and move him all over the place for mismatches. Or just trade Keller’s ass and use Cumberland and Baker as wildcards.

Patrick Turner Has Been Re-Signed

according to Rotoworld:

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5330/player?r=1

Jets reportedly signed WR Patrick Turner to a one-year contract.

Turner spent the majority of the 2011 season on the Jets’ practice squad, catching two passes for 26 yards in five games. The former Dolphins third-rounder was scheduled to hit restricted free agency this offseason.

2/7/2012: Signed a one-year, $865,000 contract. The deal included a $250,000 signing bonus. 2012: $615,000, 2013: Free Agent

Get rid of tone and keller

Keller was good for us and tone going foward will be a problem, now if we could package either with sanchez for draft picks i say do it. Bring in fasano, keep cumberland and possibly sign a TE in draft. Stop drooling over N. Englands’ offense, we don’t have the skill at qb like they do, their TE can block and break tackles (keller suck at that). Lets look at the Super Bowl Champs TE, nothing special but they catch and block. Thats my vote. Bring in Fasano

Karl Dorrell

was hired as the Texans QB coach. Looks like we’re stuck with Cavanaugh.

This is on Rex

Supposedly, he is Cavanaugh guy. You bring in a new OC, he should have full autonomy over who he has on his staff. I cannot believe there is no other option out there. What about Zorn?

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.

Agreed.....

….totally on the mark. For a HC that stays clear of the Offence this kind of interference is terrible news.

I’m hoping that in the coming days Chad Pennington will announce his retirement. The Jets will scoop him up as their new QB Coach.

My question: Who is looking after the receivers and passing game? Since we lost out on Todd Hayly nothing has transpired here. This is very distressing. If the Jets have no plans here I don’t know how they expect to succeed.

I would sign OJ Simpson if it meant Mulligan was no longer a Jet

Fasano is an upgrade, depends on money though.
