CB Cromartie reportedly ready to re-sign with Jets

Recommended Posts

A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press early Monday morning that the Jets agreed to terms on a four-year contract with Antonio Cromartie, keeping the cornerback in New York. Cromartie, acquired last offseason from San Diego, was solid for New York opposite Darrelle Revis, finishing with 42 tackles and three interceptions.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't announced the move.

"They say Cro is back, Cro is back all GangGreen fans say is Cro...lol," Cromartie wrote on his Twitter page. "I'm on my FLT headed home glad 2 b a JET...let's go win a Superbowl."

The move capped a huge day for the Jets, who signed wide receiver Plaxico Burress to a one-year deal earlier Sunday.

I disagree a bit... Cro is NOT a run-stopper at all, and is not tough in the least. But coverage-wise, he's exactly what the Jets need. He's a good fit for their system (heck, anyone is a good fit if Revis is on the other side, lol).

He can run with just about any WR in the league and as long as you have him locked down on someone with virtually no other responsibilities, he'll remain a solid contributor on one of the league's top defenses.

I'm iffy on him. When he lines up against a guy who just runs the vertical, he is fine because he is tall and fast (he covered Randy Moss pretty well). But when he goes against a guy who is more of a route runner like Garcon, he gets beat

I hear ya. Overall he seems to be one of those guys whose talent exceeds his accomplishments. He made the right choice by staying in NY. Playing across from Revis in a very solid defense, top-to-bottom, will make him look better than he probably is!

    • ballard made a very bad pick drafting ar, ballard is getting paid to draft talent and he has too many glaring misses, imo the only qb worth taking with a top 5 pick was stroud. the rest were projects not worthy of a top 5 pick, fire ballard he is a poor judge of talent,
    • Regardless of how good the Lions are playing it would be out of the leagues character for a team like them to make it to the Super Bowl. 
    • The same was said about Lamar Jackson.....remember polian said he should try and play another position not QB ???   Just because someone is uber athletic doesn't mean they can't play QB.  Now I'm not saying AR will be or never will be  a quality QB in this league. I don't know.   He certainly has the athletic part going for him. BUT going against him is the lack of reps and experience coming out of college, thrust into the starting role right away, missing games due to injury and last but not least the lack of QB friendly plays  and coaching from Steinchen. If he's not acting like a professional on and off the field then it's on them to teach him on how to... you'd think the #4 overall pick would get the teaching he deserves. Sounds like he's a extremely young player lacking and the colts are failing him.    On Arians, I didn't click link to read the story.  Regarding bringing him back in some capacity, I remember when he was here Colt Fans wanted him replaced because he would call long pass plays that took extra time for the OL to pass block for and it was feared Luck would get killed waiting for the plays to develop. Little did we know back then that snowboarding would also be a major factor in his health.
    • It depends on who is the current QB. If AR is the QB, probably a 3, as I know there is something to play for, and even though the FO is terrible, if AR could potentially improve, that would be the quickest way to be relevant again if we won with him. If Flacco is our QB, it's a 1. I have no interest in watching the team with Flacco as the QB and I didn't even watch the Colts on Sunday Night Football even though I could have. I have gone through the band-aid QB process since Rivers, and he was the only positive to come out of it and we didn't have a highly drafted, possible franchise QB we were trying to develop at the time. It's bad enough when AR is injured and he can't play, now he just isn't starting for a number of reasons, and it's taken any interest out of caring for this team out of me until AR starts again, or until Ballard gets fired at the end of the year.
    • Belichick without Brady? Not good at all.   Gruden? His lighting up like a X-mas tree whenever there's a camera around gets old quick.  Plus his long term record is very poor.
