Jets Release 9 time pro bowler Alan Faneca

[BIGDen]

if only between the two, I would prefer flo come back.

Me too. Who knows? If nobody is offering him a starting spot/starter money then maybe he'd come back here to finish his last year or so. Why move your family and everything if nobody is making it worth your while. We don't know if the Cowboys are even considering it, but maybe it's an option. He would certainly give us depth/insurance.

Ham sandwich.

You spelled it wrong!
It's actually spelled Ham S A M M I C H.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Kyle Kosier was our best offensive linemen last year and we seen what happen when he got injured the year before and still everyone wants to replace him, for any name guy who isn't what he once was. Kosier is one if not only our most athletic offensive linemen, I'd rather have three more of his type of players than the slow, underacheiving overpaid types, in Gurode, Davis and Flo

The 13th-year pro struggled in pass protection last season.

Does anyone really need to know anything else?

Pass.

 

[Vinnie2u]

he'll be a Commander by the end of next week...

 

[cowboyjoe]

He's going to want to start, no way he comes here.

He might want to come here for the right price.

 

[CATCH17]

Faneca isn't going to come here and be a back up.

 

[Galian Beast]

You all fail to see where it says he struggled in pass protection last year.

Allowed 6 sacks 2 hits and 15 pressures. He's worse than Davis in pass protection, and not nearly as good in run support.

He was even worse in 2008.

This isn't at all Romo friendly.

Does he get out of his stance? If so then he would be an immediate depth upgrade over this guy....

someone will likely still make him a starter. You all think all these guys want to become is backups. He was in the pro bowl last year, he's going to want to start somewhere. Same with Flozell.

Many players in various sports have taken a bit less for the chance to be a champion later on in their careers. If we don't at least try, we're doing ourselves an injustice.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Why should they check in on Faneca? Because when your management refuses to place any value on offensive linemen in the draft, then you end up shopping for retreads and getting your *** kicked by teams with strong DLs!

 

[newlander]

too old and expensive. Watch the rat and lil' dan pay big bucks for him. If the Jets don't want him, we shouldn't either.

 

[Bleu Star]

I'd bring him in as quality depth if we could convince him to back someone up.

 

[peplaw06]

Any interest?

 

[NickZepp]

I think he's a little too old. We need to get young backups on the line.

 

[RS12]

To be released Monday. Is this the guy Jerry is going to bring in. If he has anything left in the tank I'm for it.

Jets wanted him to take a pay cut, he declined, you actually think he's coming here and play for the minimum. And we cut Flo, so we're not bringing in Fanaca, another old player

 

[Cajuncowboy]

He's lost it in Pass Pro. No thanks. Resign Flo before that. I still think that's the way we are going to go. Flow will be back with the Cowboys.

What's funny about that is that he was due $7.5 million and the Jets owe him $5.25 million guaranteed.
