Jets
Since it's not the start of the regular season yet, and since other than Santana the rest of the Mets look poor so far (see Reyes, Beltran, Maine, Ollie, ...), I figured I'd take the time to post about the Jets.
Specifically, the LT deal. I'm scratching my head about this one - they basically signed LT to the same deal they would have had to give Jones to keep him. Granted, LT is a better receiver and gives them different options, but no more options than a healthy Leon gives them. Since Jones is still in good shape (better than LT), has a well-regarded off-season workout regimen, and he's very popular in the clubhouse for his character and skill, I'm not sure I see the upside to LT over TJ. I'll reserve judgment on this one and give Jets mgmt the benefit of the doubt, but this move is curious at best at this point.

Meant to post this on Shea Hey Kids, rather than OccObs, but whatever. S**t happens, as they say.
I think the upside is it gives the Jets a pass-catching back to couple with between the tackles type (Green).
With Leon a ? at this point, they need a guy like LT to run the offense the way they want. Someone was pointing out on the FAN the other day that Jet RBs caught about 1/2 as many balls last year as normal b/c of the Leon injury.
Plus, the star power is good for filling the seats, and maybe for persuading other ticketed FAs to come on board. Apparently we're going after Marshall via trade.
