Report: Jets offer Kemoeatu

by Corey Griffin on February 27th, 2009 at 7:00 am

Earlier, Bassett reported that the Jets were interested in Steelers guard Chris Kemoeatu. Now, Rich Cimini is reporting that Gang Green has officially offered “Little Kemo” a deal.

While most of the attention has focused on Ray Lewis and Bart Scott, the Jets have made an offer to Steelers G Chris Kemoeatu, according to a league source. The offer is believed to be at least $4 million-per-year.

They’re targeting the massive Kemoeatu (6-3, 344) as the replacement for RG Brandon Moore, who was released yesterday. Kemo is said to be considering an offer from the Steelers.

Well, he’s two years younger than Moore, and it’ll be interesting to see what his cap hit will be relevant to Moore’s. However, it’s more and more apparent that Rex and Co. are determined to bring in “their guys”.

    Bear in mind that Rex saw Kemo up close three times this season. He probably knows what he can bring to the table better than most.

    Faneca was Kemo’s mentor, maybe that gives us an advantage. Kemo is definitly better suited for Right Guard (Jets) then LG (Steelers). If the Money is equal do you stay with a SuperBowl Team. Can Tanny and Rex sell ?
    Kemo Not a Callahan type of West Coast Offensive Lineman…

    I don’t like losing moore for Kemo. Moore is much better. Foolish move
