“…doesn’t Braylon Edwards have a similiar deal too?”

Not really. If there’s no cap, they can retain Braylon as a RFA with a $5m tender. Either way, they’ll look to agree on a long term deal, provided he continues to fit in well. Lito’s contract will simply be re-done so if he stays it won’t cost the Jets another pick.

The only thing I am hoping for is Lito comes back and helps the D shut people down in a huge second half run and we still dont have to give up too much for him because he hasnt played in 85% of the games let alone Defensive snaps…

They have to ease him back into the swing of things, he was rusty in the Buffalo game blowing the coverage on the pass to Evans and getting the Ill Cont. flag on his pick; in his defense though, he picked it clean, the contact was incidental as he was playing the ball..

BTW the ref on that play was Walt Anderson, the same guy who called the hold vs the GMen last Sunday, Im no conspiracy theorist but this guy loves going out of his way to keep games close, he only throws flags at critical game changing moments

50-50 he makes it through the game without another injury.

This is exacly why he was demoted in Philly, they could not rely on him due to his inability to stay healthy, entirely predictable.

Bad move by Mr. T, he gambled on this one and lost, albeit not much but a lost pick is a lost pick.

Tanny is going to have to do a lot of wheeling and dealing during the off-season because doesn’t Braylon Edwards have a similiar deal too?

The guy makes plays and at this point is a better CB than Lowery is. He is one of the rare CB who actually can catch the ball when its near his hands…

If he is healthy our defense is even better

I also assume that Strickland is healthy. With Rhodes, Leonhard, Smith, Revis, Lito, Lowery and Strickland, a pass defense that has held opposing QBs to a 68.5 QBR just got a lot better. And, while Walter and Welker were out, I will note that against the Texans Ellis and Pace were out and Pace was still out for the Pats (and Strickland left the Pats game early with an injured ankle). With the entire secondary healthy and Pace to spice up the pass rush, the Jets D is undoubtedly better against the pass and, as long as Rex can make magic with Pouha and DeVito replacing Jenks, the defense could actually be better over the next 8 games.
