Ask Armando he is the one who is on top of jersy prices

The FO shouldn't have let it go down the way it did and JT shouldn't go chasing a ring with our neighbor's wife.

Bottom line, JT's washed up. No way he starts for us next year even if he stays. The guys a 3rd down pass rush specialist. We're no worse off without him. Take it for what it is...a washed up vet trying to keep his career alive.

And whoever said that's 4 more sacks on Henne this year is living in dreamland! The guy had 7 sacks last year and 10.5 in the last two years...TOTAL! He's done!

Did not know that.

Seriously?

He SAYS he wants to retire here.

He's offered an extension.

Then turns it down?

If that's true, how can anyone say the FO treated him unfairly?

Then JT should have signed the extension in NOVEMBER!!

Deals don't stay on the table forever

Hey things do go full circle....


We took Pennington from them when they didn't want Pennington.........they take JT from us when we don't want JT.

Yep. Does that mean JT will have a career year next year? I hope not. I wish him well, but I hope he has the worst year of his career.

I hope he gets a hangnail in the first series of game 1, that sidelines him until late February.

Like most of us (except the one person who said they hope he kicks our ass....what a fan), I hope he has a great game whenever he's not playing against Miami, and that his team loses a well-fought defensive battle every single week.

If he *really* wanted to retire a Phin he would have successfully negotiated the extension in November. I have a feeling he's NOT going to do well under the fan pressure in NYC. First bad game he has he's going to get it from the fans and local media, and I don't think he'll be able to shake it off so well.

I don't wish the guy any harm but how can anyone wish he plays well?

That would mean you're actually pulling for someone in a green uniform.

Call me crazy but NEVER will I pull for ANYONE in jets green. Can't do it...just can't!

For the record, I said "hangnail" which of course isn't even a real injury. I sad attempt at a joke by me, I don't want him injured either.

I also said I wanted the Jets to lose every game. Just to be clear. Play your little hearts out boys, but be sure to get a perfect 0-16

Sounds like JT's becoming a true jet. Wonder if ryan prepared that statement for him.

And if the opposite had happened, JT would be on the radio today saying Coach left him on the field too OFTEN risking him injury by getting too many reps at his age.

I'm not saying anything, Im just telling you what JT is saying

JT is bitter and wants to hurt the Phins this is pbvious and he is not exactly the most truthful guy. Do you think that maybe JT getting less playing time had something to do with his nagging knee injury and shoulder problem. He himself said we offered him an extension when he had a bad shoulder..... I agree with PhinsFan on this one, JT did this all to himself and he wants to know convince everyone what jerks the FO are. At the end of the day, FO equals bosses and JT equals employee. If you challenge authority and buttheads with the bosses, you are not valued.

I love how he told Jets fans "I'm one of you now", can't wait till they turn on him.

I will still wear my JT jesery. He played his heart out for the Phins and its a shame that we would sign him before the draft. You find a better starting OLB in free agency or the draft for as little money as we were paying here!

That's the FIRST thing I though when reading that as well.

We phins fans may move all over the place but we do not turn on our players like NY fans do....but then again nobody does haha

NY fans are smart.

Philly fans are the crazy lunatics that turn on their players, booo Mike Schmidt and McNabb! lol

I don't know about that. I mean, I still turn on the TV to a Knicks game every now and then and there are still people who attend. Can't be that smart.
