What do you guys think of the trade? Laveranaues Coles for Santana Moss. I think it was a mistake. The Jets keep trading there star players or the star players leave.

I think Coles coming back is good. Moss was a decent player but he wasn't a superstar or anything.

Neither is Coles though. I just dont see the point. Coles is an overpaid whining pre-modonna. Washington overpaidfor him as a free agent, as they ALWAYS do, so I'd just take Moss' speed and cheaper contract. Personally, I don't think either one is a quality #1 WR.

I never said Coles was a superstar. He and Pennington do work very well together though so that's a plus. Also, I believe the Jets don't have to pick up his signing bonus, that's still on Washington. All in all, not a bad deal if you ask me.

I know you never said so.I was jsut pointing out that he wasn't. Anyway. The Skins are paying off the remaining $5 million on the original $13 million signing bonus he got. Apparently the Jets restructured his contract and gave him $5 million. Personally I don't care whether it turns out to be good or bad for the Jets or Skins, I'm a Giants fan. I just don't think either is that great. Though your point about the chemistry is valid. Of course, this is all moot if Pennington doesn't recover from his surgery in time.
