No more JetSkins...

It's the Jets, who cares, as long as New England is there, the Jets don't stand a chance.....same can be said for the Fins and the Bills......still, it's the Jets....who cares...

I like Baker- & he's been very underused in his time here with NY......
But there is no way you re-do his contract. He is NOT an elite player

If he sits out- which he won't- cut him......no big deal-

Don't let the door hit you in the a@s!

A lot of fans want to replace EVERY player that the Redskins or Bengals have. Then beginning with the owners, they want everyone else tarred and feathered and run out of town. Hhhmmmm And as for the jests, a lot of people thought that the Patsies (as they were called) would never be better than decent.

2.5 receptions a game & he wants a new deal. Hard to rationalize paying these guys when you know he probably has 180 pairs of shoes in his closet. I could stretch $6.6 out pretty far. Just don't buy $100,000 rims.

"A lot of fans want to replace EVERY player that the Redskins or Bengals have." I don't know a lot of fans so i cant speak for the majority, but the fans I do know in Cincy have little problem with the Bengals current roster.

I am tired of players in all professional sports wanting to re negoiate a contract because they are coming off a good year or this guy makes more than me blah, blah, blah.. You signed the agreement stick to your contract. Can owners re negoiate when they are doing lousy and have a sub par sesaon? You signed the deal stick with your deal and appreciate that you are able to play damn, you are blessed with a talent that many people would love to have stop crying...

Ya know, i really thought the same way everyone here is thinking until i realized that the 2 million the Jets gave Bubba Franks is more then Baker will make this year. How is that right? I realize that Baker hasn't had the impact that most thought he would up to this point, but come on...the backup makes more money then the starter...no bueno.

Bye! Don't need you THAT much. You caught an average of less than 3 passes a game. What is the NFL coming to?!

Let me know when someone isn't pissed at their contract. That would be news.

"Mangina, Mangina - my hearts been broken by Mangina"
Signed Chris ''in tears" Baker

The Jets will have to now draft a TE too. I thought Bubba Franks let us avoid that!!!!!!

The one thing people forget is that the NFL does not give guaranteed contracts. It is a tough call, think about Baseball and what the danger to a team a guaranteed contract can be. Barry Zito, or as I like to call him Mike Hampton Part Two. A team spends a fortune on a guy, is forced to pay every penny for every year no matter how bad he stinks. On the flip side is the NFL, they can basically drop a player with a contract at will. NFL players face massive body injuries, no guarantees short of signing bonuses and then get to retire and face the worst pension in sports. As much as I agree about athletes who don't honor their contracts, I do also understand that it must be really hard to face playing the NFL where all the power of your financial future is in the hands of owners.

Why have contracts?

Cut him, why the heck does a man getting 3 mil a year need a new contract all them freakin football bums want is more money that they are worth and us fans pay for it by the 6 dollar beers and 6 dollar dogs at the park and the half a months pay to take the family to even go see a game what utter b/s that he cries he wants a new deal play the upcoming year and show the owner you deserve one
