[JetsHomer]

Trouba's agent saying the leaked numbers are untrue

 

[Aavco Cup]

Already being talked about in two pther threads.

 

[KCjetsfan]

Even as a starting point, if true, trouba's is ridiculous.

 

[gbill2004*]

Word is there's positive movement on Ladd's contract negotiations.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Word is there's positive movement on Ladd's contract negotiations.

Positive, like Ladd is willing to settle for $4m per positive?

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Word is there's positive movement on Ladd's contract negotiations.

Word from whom?

 

[Jetabre]

Word from whom?

Guessing this.

 

[Whileee]

Guessing this.

Ladd is the one I'm least interested in seeing the Jets extend, unless it's for modest salary and term.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

My initial take: TNSE is leaking these numbers to soften the backlash if/when they have to trade Buff and Ladd for less than market value.

 

[sipowicz]

$6.8M per for Ladd, delusional much!

 

[ocdaddy]

Would consider Buffs but no way for Ladd. Way too much.

Ladd - $ too high.

Buff - term too long

Trouba - for ask, too soon

If any deals get done, they won't be at these numbers.

Isn't market value what the market will pay? I'm assuming Chevy will survey the market and take the best deal for the organization. More accurately is they will trade Ladd and Buff for less than what most fans believe they are worth.

 

[kxx]

Was about to post a reply about how overpriced Ladd is however last year he had his best season (based on points alone). Must be missing something because he seems awful lately...

 

[Guardian17]

No to Buff for 8 years.

 

[Aavco Cup]

My initial take: TNSE is leaking these numbers to soften the backlash if/when they have to trade Buff and Ladd for less than market value.

TNSE would have leaked this info to Lawless not Campbell

 

[JC Numminen]

Trouba is asking way to much for what he is currently showing. Thinking more 5.5 for 3?

Ladds isn't even close

Buffs value is fine, but wouldn't want to do that long.

 

[gbill2004*]

TNSE would have leaked this info to Lawless not Campbell

Lawless doesn't work for the Free Press anymore.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Lawless doesn't work for the Free Press anymore.

I never said he did.

 

[JetsHomer]

TNSE would have leaked this info to Lawless not Campbell

Lawless doesn't know ****

 

[Aavco Cup]

Lawless doesn't know ****

What does what he knows have to do with anything? I'm just saying I don't believe this was a TNSE leak. If it was they would have chosen their puppet

This...

 

[BigZ65]

Ladd is the one I'm least interested in seeing the Jets extend, unless it's for modest salary and term.

Agreed. I believe he's going to age worse than Buff and that we are already seeing it.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Buff for 8 years is horrifying...utterly utterly horrifying...
