what i dont get is, what is Kap's connection to the Jets? Doesnt make sense. He has no former coaches over there or any obvious friends there in NY

Agreed. This is oddly specific to me. Not only does he want a trade but wants to go to a specific team? Not saying it cant be true but it seems really specific and he has no ties to NYJ.

Either way, it works out for us. If we trade him to a buyer that wants him we'll prob get a pretty good deal. If not, he'll have a chance to compete to start in the only offense left in the NFL that he might excel in. Win win so we'll see.

Here's something for you to ponder ... connections, one way or the other, might not be his main concern.
Kap, has been in the league long enough to be aware of a few things:

• Jets won 10 games last season
• he see himself, as a better option than what's currently available in NY at the moment
• a Todd Bowles team, will be strong on the Defensive side of the ball
• they have a decent run game
• why not the the NY Metropolitan area ... a totally different animal than The Bay. If you're gonna' start over, think Big (as in Apple)
• which brings me to this ... IMO, Kap, has some of that Post Career -- while still in The Game -- VD kinda' expand My Brand thing going on.

Not Hatin' on him for it ... just trying to think a few reasons, as to why NY/NJ of all places???
Several posters have mentioned how the Media would eat him alive ... it's NOTHING compared to what The FANS will do, if he doesn't produce !!!

Denver would be a better fit since Manning is on his way out

This seems like a ny tabloid reaching hard

Not saying this is true, but the daily news is a reputable paper

I know nothing about the Daily News or their writers but this comes direct from NY fans

Who else but Manish Mehta gets the ball rolling on b******t season

Doesnt sound like some of their fans believe its all that reputable.

This actually was reported before last season too.

They were talking about Wilkerson and 1st for Kap. Man I wish we had made that trade. Anyways. Sounds like a lot of b******t to me.

Yeah mehta is a hack, I noted that in a later post when I realized he wrote the article. He's a jets beat writer that is universally hated by the Jets organization and fans.

So basically he's a Kawakami/Cohn.

this is a violation of the NFL's anti-tampering policy imo.

Too bad the Jets don't have a player that we'd like to trade for.
