Jets | Contract update: M. Pope
Tue, 28 Mar 2006 08:13:25 -0800
Bill Williamson, of the Denver Post, reports DT Monsanto Pope signed a one-year, $585,000 contract that also included a $40,000 signing bonus with the New York Jets, according to agent Ron Del Duca.

Thats a CHEAP contract .. I cant see how how he couldn't have added good depth to our team, and we did have him in town.

Re: Pope's contract is CHEAP

Maybe he preferred playing for the Jets

That's a 1 yr vets minimum deal....he plays well and he could parlay into a bigger deal

Re: Pope's contract is CHEAP

depth? He'd be a starter here- you saw the jokers that we had on our D line last year.

Im hoping thats not true, because if we cant even get backup DT's to come to our team before the Jets we are in huge trouble dude.

Damn I think we missed the boat on that one he would of been a good pickup at that price.

Re: Pope's contract is CHEAP

just maybe the staff didnt want him here after meeting him. if he came that cheap and the staff did want him, the deal would have been done by now.

Stop talking sense.

Marv must have been taking his midday nap, in preparation for his warm milk and 9:00 PM bedtime, when the Pope signing went down.

Re: Pope's contract is CHEAP

Here's another guy we had in once, who signed elsewhere, seems like a fair contract.

Dallas Cowboys OT Jason Fabini signed a three-year contract with base salaries of $750,000 (2006), $1 million (2007) and $1 million (2008).

right- doing nothing about a DL that was the worst in the league last year was a much better option.

*****ing about not signing who YOU think is a good fit isn't fixing things either.

Seriously, if the bills thought he was all that he would be a bill . I mean cmon, the guy signed a one year deal at minimun. How come NO OTHER TEAM SIGNED him for more? Are you more qualified to think all these other teams are wrong as well?


I am not gonna cry over players we cut or don't sign. Marv and Dick have a plan. A plan that neither you nor I know. You can play interenet GM all you want fact is, you are not a GM and stop acting like you know more than Marv and Dick.

I know our DL sucked last year. And I know that this off-season, at best we broke even (trading Adams for Triplett). Logical conclusion: The DL still SUCKS.

I'm not in a position to do anything about it. Marv and Dick are, but so far they haven't done it and now all the FA's are signed. Maybe this guy wasn't the right guy, but you mean to tell me that out of all the DT's available, Tripplett was the only one better than Sape and Anderson? I find that hard to believe.

Apparently their plan is to give up 150 rushing yards per game like we did last year.

Last year was last year. I thought we all agree our coaches sucked. Maybe our players were put in a position no to make plays. Do I know that for sure? NO , BUT NEITHER DO YOU.

Answer me one question, how come NOBODY else signed him for more than league minimum?

OP, I don't agree with all of MArv's moves but I am not gonna act like it's a mistake because there aren't any facts to support whether they are or not. You on the other hand ACT like they are.


When you complain about something that isn't fact, all your doing is whining.


If MArv addresses that Dl between now and June 1 and the draft, ALL YOU DID WAS WHINE .

Re: Pope's contract is CHEAP

or it could be a realistic possibility at this stage at least, players are taking a look at this organization and saying "I'll pass".

Nobody knows what's going on right now for sure, and I sure as hell hope this draft plucks us a few solid contributors.
