OMG, the front office is just filled with assclowns. Either things fell through and this is their lame effort to cover or they think we are all fools.

By the way, Clayton on Sportscenter just reported that the Chiefs hold all the cards and are playing hardball. They may get him for free before it's all said and done.

Everyone is posturing. We think that if we create the proper environment, the Jets will be forced to simply release Herm because it's the best available option (so that they (the Jets) can move on from the mess). Herm is poturing by saying he doesn't want out so that he doesn't accidently say something to void the Jets requirement to meet their remaining contractual obligations to him. Losing that leverage would take away some negotiating leverage to sign the best possible contract (with the Jets, the Chiefs or whoever). He's probably also willing to stay in NY and wants to show a commitment to his current players. The Jest are trying to keep the pressure on KC and Herm so that they can squeeze anything they can out of this situation. None of this posturing has anything directly to do with spinning the fans. |

Smart.
Negotiating with the team is not asking for permission to speak to him. I don't doubt for a minute that they haven't spoken to him. Edwards and the Jets are completely different...

Guys,
You're all missing the possibility that the Jets have fabricated this whole story and are purposefully leaking this to the NY press. Why? Because they are trying to scare some OTHER team into giving up draft choices to get Herm. Think about it, oh the Chiefs are about to get Herm, better pony up some draft picks now or you'll lose out. My instinct tells me this is what's going on. The other likely scenario is we really ARE interested in Herm, but the Jets are again leaking it for the same reason: trying to get another bidder into the game to up the price. The bottom line isn't to "pressure KC", these stories are appearing to start a bidding war. KC isn't the target. The real target of these rumor is the rest of the league. I just don't think Herm is such a hot property that such an event is going to happen. |
