Ignoring the personal issues (or non-issues) I don't see a fit for him and his contract. He's making $1.9 million where Thorburn is under $900k. I'd take Thorburn with his salary over Tootoo.
At what point does one team's garbage become a need of the Jets?
see:
Wright, James
Tangradi, Eric
Clitsome, Grant
I'll just say that the results haven't been to nice for Tootoo the last few years, and he hasn't had exactly tough minutes.
I'm going to assume you did that on purpose - excellent job

Lawless shined in on this topic with Beyak in the intermission last night, some interesting information to say the least. A year ago (summer 2012) when Tootoo was a UFA the Jets went hard after him, and were in the race right up until the very end when Tootoo signed in Detroit. Lawless made it sound like Chevy would listen if Detroit called, or, Chevy would possibly explore things himself.
Lawless said given Tootoo's 1.9 million in salary, Detroit may have to eat some of it. However, I can't see that happening as they want to part ways so they can free up salary. But, if there are no takers for that contract, perhaps they do eat a bit of it.
Interesting anyway. Like I said yesterday, I'd really like Tootoo here. We'll see how it plays out.

Might as well get Jonathan Cheecho while you're at it, too.
