Lol are you serious?

Idgit;5019219 said:Of course not. It was a reference to posters saying every signing is good when they remember the name from years prior.
I didn't follow Jenkins in PHI last season at all. He's, what, 32, with what was supposed to have been a degenerative knee condition when he left GB (I might have the wrong, but that was my recollection). Then he played well in PHI's 2011 dream-season, and I thought he'd fallen off last year.
He'll be a rotational guy in NY, though, anyway. It looks like a reasonable signing to me given the contract.
JesusQuintana;5019065 said:I'm sorry but he played in all 32 games in the past 2 seasons, and 59 of the past 64 games. I don't know where you're getting "injured regularly."
He did put up 9.5 sacks in the past 2 seasons playing in the middle of the Eagles wide 9 scheme.
This is not a bad signing at all considering how weak they were up the middle.
Chuck 54;5019240 said:9.5 sacks is not what they paid him for; granted, he's not getting anywhere near what Philly paid him, but even at this reduced salary, Philly had no interest in keeping him. He's on the downside of his career.
Woods;5019224 said:But had the Cowboys signed him . . . . I can only imagine the reaction.
Signing a 32/33 yr old DT, not building for the future, team is too old, etc. etc.

perrykemp;5019286 said:Not me. I'd say "The Cowboys replaced one guy on the downside of his career, Ratliff, who has had nearly zero statistical production over the past two years with two sacks with another guy on the downside of his career, Jenkins, who has managed 9.5 sacks over the past two years...
Oh yeah, the other guy (Jenkins) only costs $2.6m a year vs $7m for Ratliff."
Anybody who took the homer glasses off would take this deal in a second. Problem is, as with so many other Cowboy veteran players, a good portion of Ratliff's salary is guaranteed so the Cowboys are hamstrung in their ability to do anything.

CowboyGil;5019295 said:I think TC is addressing the wrong part of the defense. It's the passing game where they were getting killed last year. When Spagnuolo left is when their D started going downhill IMO.
Little Jr;5019848 said:Lol ok. Sometimes I have to ask. Lol. I agree reasonable deal for the giants.
