We don’t need Lewis when we have Harris. I’m not really familiar with Leonhard, but if Ryan “loves” this guy, there’s gotta be something to him.

National Football Post reported that Bart Scott signed with the Jets… Signed as in done deal, not “agreed in principle”…

Breaking: Scott Signs With Jets
As we first reported earlier today at the NFP, the New York Jets have agreed to a new contract with former Ravens’ linebacker Bart Scott. The deal is rumored to equal $40-million dollars and should average out to $8-million per season.

This move by the Jets reunites Scott with former defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who is now the new head coach of the Jets. Last season under Ryan, Scott contributed 82 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles to the NFL’s second ranked defense.

Over the past week, rumors had been rampant on Scott’s future, but in the end the 28-year old linebacker decided to leave Baltimore and head for New York—leaving the Ravens with a glaring hole at the linebacker position. The Ravens will now turn their attention to linebacker Ray Lewis—a free agent as well—and try to work out a muti-year deal wit the All-Pro linebacker. If a deal can’t be reached with Lewis, along with the expected signing of safety Jim Leonhard in New York, the Ravens could have a much different look come September.

Ivy is no more than a 3rd CB at best. I’d say he’s better than Drew Coleman but if he ends up as a starter we’ll be in trouble

John Clayton just reported that Bart Scott and the Jets have a agreed in principle to a 5 year deal!!! This move is a huge step in turning our D into a nasty, head hunting, fearless unit. I gotta admit that even though Rex hasnt coached a game for us yet I sure as hell love this dude’s style!! Cant wait for some Bart Scott trash talking and monster hits!!
