Jets land Cromartie!

The New York Jets pulled off a wowzer of a move that gives them perhaps the most dangerous cornerback tandem.

The NFL's best pass defense has reached a deal in principle to obtain Antonio Cromartie from the San Diego Chargers for a third-round draft choice that could turn into a second-rounder. That gives the Jets two cornerbacks who are 26 or younger and have been first-team All-Pros within the past three seasons.

Those guttural noises you're hearing are AFC East quarterbacks doubled over with stomach pain at the thought of Cromartie getting back to his shutdown form of a couple years ago.

Darrelle Revis was an All-Pro for the Jets last season. Cromartie was honored in 2007, when he led the NFL with 10 interceptions.

I guess the Jets won't be trading for Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, which was a fun topic to kick around for a while.

But the idea of Revis and Cromartie is almost as scary.

Cromartie replaces Lito Sheppard, who the Jets released Thursday rather than pay him a $10 million roster bonus.

Cromarite isn't guaranteed to shine. He has been inconsistent the past two seasons. He has gotten scorched for touchdowns. He badly misses tackles. He has off-field issues (seven children by five women) that must be considered.

Jets coach Rex Ryan has a knack for getting the most of defensive players. Cromartie is an exceptional athlete, and playing opposite Revis will mean he doesn't have to face the opposition's top receivers on a weekly basis.


Has he been up an down the last couple of years? Yes, of course. However, the last sentence is the most telling. He's coming to the Jets and rather then having to be the guy to defend the best receivers, he will play side kick to Revis who will cover the best receivers and make life a lot easier for Cromartie!

In addition to paying Cromartie's salary, the Jets will have to double the budget and venue space for Jets Family Day to accommodate his seven children. Cromartie will accumulate enough frequent flier miles for a free round-trip ticket anywhere in the world for getting all of his kids to and from the event since they live in five different states with their six different mothers. Cromartie is only 25 years old and all of the kids are five years or younger. You have to love it.

The f*cking Canty contract. I said it from the jump. Guy has three sacks as a 3-4 end and they think he's gonna come here and dominate as a DT and give him more money than Justin Tuck. :no1:

Sorry about getting Blomartie Vinny. :no1:

I was really hoping that he'd stay in San Diego. Sucks that his useless ass has left them but oh well.

:bag:
