Jets rescind offer to Suh, cite 'long-term plan'

New York Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said Sunday that the team rescinded its offer to free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

"It just didn't seem to be in keeping with our long-term plan," Johnson told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando.

The Jets' interest in Suh, which surfaced on Friday, came as a surprise. That they've pulled the offer also is a surprise.

The Jets made a "pretty big offer" to the former All-Pro, Johnson said. Suh told Yahoo! Sports that it was the largest offer he had received since he was released by the Miami Dolphins. He's also drawing interest from the Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints.

Johnson said the Jets decided to change course after he discussed the matter with general manager Mike Maccagnan. Coach Todd Bowles wasn't part of that conversation, according to Johnson, who wasn't involved in the decision to make the initial offer.

"I had a lot of discussion with Mike about this," Johnson said. "Our thinking just changed. That's where I have to leave it."

Did the Jets actually do something right for a change?

According to the GM and his boss they didn't even consult the HC, so no.

So is Suh's trip to Oakland back on?

 

[Retroram52]

No. I think Gruden has lost interest and is focusing on the draft because it is heavy with DT this year.

Wasn't Suh supposed to decide on Friday? Eh whatever.

Goff will never win a Super Bowl. I don't care how good his defense is.

It's like they looked around and finally realized they don't have a QB or really any offense whatsoever so Suh or no Suh isn't going to change much...


"Hey, maybe we should wait a year (or two) on our big FA splash for an aging vet???"
