Aaron Maybin Signed by Jets

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

we would be on the bills fans poolist if we did that. they are beyond angry right now

[Jules]

I dont see why not. He could be the next James Harrison or Cameron Wake, who both "Got It" late in their careers. Physical Stature doesnt always tell the tail. I mean it is the Bills

[flynismo]

We have x-amount of roster spots....cant waste them on wishing for a miracle..

[grape drank]

We already have one young, unproven pass rusher in Kindle, lets put all of our focus into turning him into a beast as he at least doesn't weigh as much as an average 19 year old. (im 225 and 19 haha, but obviously not as ripped as he is but still im puny compared to an NFL OLB)

[Marc2k6]

I can not say what he will be in the future but the lowly Bills cut him like a hot knife thru butter! Plus reports say his weight goes up and down between 228 - 250 lbs but maybe on another team he can gain motivation to become a good player!

Jets offer Maybin a deal - [color="#0000FF"][url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/16/jets-offer-one-year-deal-to-aaron-maybin/"]I lol'd[/url][/color]...

Apparently 5-6 other teams did as well, according to the article. One of the comments was spot-on:

WOW! REX …. If you didnt like the cheeseburger, what makes you think you’ll like the burger with cheese![/quote]

Hilarious! From Gholston to possibly Maybin, two of the biggest busts in the past decade. Believe it or not, though, Ryan and Maybin have more of a connection and background than meets the eye.

[Juviebest]

Well according to Rotoworld, Maybin said no to the Niners and Bears. Jets made an offer as has Indy and 4 other un-named teams. Maybin will pick tommorow. Should be interesting.

[ellicottraven]

At 228 lbs he has no chance at getting past the tackles... all they have to do is just blow really hard when he is trying to rush the passer! Thank you but no thank you, but if he adds a good 30-35 lbs then maybe...

Disregard my post, I just read that the Jets signed him to a 1 yr deal... Sexy Rexy is at it again... he has the most fractured team in the history of the league... The Jets resemble a QUILT!

[JO_75]

4 Unknown Teams? I will say the Eagles are one of those unknown teams so we have 3 unknown teams lol.

[JayDaRavensFan]

He was a one year wonder in college and couldnt get on the field for a team desperate for a pass rusher. He's way too small. We could put Pollard at linebacker and get better results.

[1/28/01]

He's officially a Jet, per NFLN

[Gtown Purple]

The Jets can waste all the roster spots they want as far as I'm concerned.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Rex just can't help himself with free agents can he?

[bdravens]

Come on, if weight is the issue here for Maybin, there's nobody better to help him out in that regard than Rex...

[-Truth-]

Still can't believe Maybin had enough pull to turn a team down. Well, that, and the fact that he actually did it.

[YYZ66]

What a coincidence! The NFL states they're gonna start testing for PED's, and he drops quite a bit of weight. How 'bout that?

As mentioned, I agree Rex should sign JaMarcus. If he wants first round busts, might as well get one of the biggest ever!

[JamesRules]

If the Jets couldn't do anything with Vernon Gholston, then how the hell are they going to get anything accomplished with Aaron Maybin?!!!!!

[True]

Well Rex Ryan did have a chance to see Aaron Maybin first hand during his high school years since he went to Mt. Hebron and Rex used to live near the area and his sons went there as well. He'll try to work his magic on Maybin after the Vernon Gholston experiment failed.

[FerrariFan87]

Let's see what Rex can do with this kid...but man, 0 sacks in 2 years? Really?

JaMarcus is the answer to our RT woes. You heard it here first!

What I find funny is that the Bears made him an offer after previously signing Gholston, his alter ego.. At least Gholston has the size to potentially succeed as a pass rusher... I honestly don't see what Rex sees in Maybin to bring him in. Time will tell I guess..

[AsianRice]

Rookie McPhee will own this dude from left to right.....

[flynismo]

What? How can this be? Maybin never played for the Ravens.Anywho, just further proof that bringing him here woulda been dumb.

[flynismo]

Man, all I need to do is add another 28 lbs, and I can be a Jet too! What's the over / under on a 34 year old OLB such as myslef taking Maybin's job??
