I would laugh is someone tries to trade for him

Re: Jets to tag............Maybin.

That's not a tag. He's a restricted free agent who got a qualifying offer.

The are going to put a tender on him.

That's not the same thing as the tag. It just allows them to match any offer he receives. If they don't match the offer, they get a 1st round pick.

$2.5 million is peanuts, compared to what the Bills gave to him before he even played a down in the league.

tag/tender........tomAto/tomato. It amounts to the same thing. It prevents a player from going to another team without the team he leaves being compensated.

He did have more sacks than any Bills player . . .

Well, not really. Yes, it does keep him from going to another team without the Jets getting compensated. But the tagging him would mean that he is going to get paid $8.8 million for this season. Tendering him only gives him $1.3 million.

Being tender and getting the franchise tag is a HUGE difference...It's not close. he'd be making a ton more money if he was tagged.

He wouldve excelled with Wanny. His issue, his 2nd year our team wanted big strong players (ironically enough the year before all we wanted was small/quick ones), it was when i think we got troup and Carrington. 2 massive guys. We also had Kelsay, Merriman, Batten, Johnson, Carrington playing the OLBs for a while. Never had anyone who weighed less than moats whos around 255-260. Wanny likes players who are small and quick and can rush. Maybin fits that mold perfectly.

Sad, isn't it?

I realize he was used as a "situational" player (whoever would blow their #1 on such is a matter best discussed among mental therapists), but did he ever record a tackle against a running back?

I know he had outside speed, unless he was interrupted by a lineman who flicked him aside with all the ease that you or I would flick a booger down the hallway.

Re: Jets to tag............Maybin.

2.5m on a situational pass rusher isn't all that bad.

Not that Maybin is really any good but he did show some signs of being a contributor with the Jets last year.

Re: Jets to tag............Maybin.

They are giving him the low tender, which is $1.3M. He did have 6 sacks as a sub-rusher, so that isn't outrageous.

That tender requires original round compensation from any team that signs him to an offer sheet that isn't matched. Because Maybin was a 1st round pick that is his original round comp.

Well, if there was a stat catagory named "cheap, cheesy sacks when a qb hung onto the ball far too long", he did well.

The 2009 #11 overall pick has 25 solo tackles, and 10 assists, over three years, with one NFL start in 39 games (some starter must have been injured). It doesn't get much more sorry than that.

I would spend 20 bucks to a bouncer to toss him out the door.

Didn't think that would count for a FA, only for the original team that drafted him. If that truly is the case though...

You're welcome, you fat **** Ryan.
