Kris Dyer of Metro New York tweeted recently – “League source tells me that Jets linebacker Bart Scott has been actively recruiting Giants free agent d-lineman Barry Cofield.”
Clearly Scott has a lot of power in the Jets organization.
He’s now recruiting free agents for the Jets.
You know if the Jets sign Cofield, who is out – Ropati, MTV, Matt Kroul, Jarron Gilbert?
Is Cofield a little better than these guy? Probably.
I’m not sure he’s better than Shaun Ellis, who was tremendous in the Jets-Pats playoff game, and still has gas in the tank.
Should Scott, a teammate of the aforementioned five guys, be recruiting a potential replacement for one of them?
They are already in trouble with the Jets drafting of defensive linemen with the first two picks.
Scott was an undrafted free agent, a long-shot, who made the league.
You would think he’d have a soft spot in his heart for players like Ropati and MTV. But instead, according to Metro, he’s recruiting a player to take one of their spots.
Scott is a very good player; very solid, consistent, but not a star.
The power he has in the Jets organization seems to be Peyton Manning-like.
I don’t get it.
But, you know what, all the power to him.
He has built up an amazing amount of gravitas.
