Jeff Otah traded to the Jets

seems like they would have an escalator clause like if Otah becomes the starter and makes the Pro Bowl then we get like a 5th round pick instead.

Oakland loses a WR they don't really need, and gets a shoddy pick.

We get a WR we don't really need, lose a shoddy pick, get a shoddy pick, and lose a RT.

New York loses a shoddy pick and gets a RT.

Pretty boring if you ask me. Let's see who comes out on top when all is said and done this time next season.

Hopefully, that's the conditional part.

just look at how the Peppers situation turned out despite our lack of preparation in the DE department and yet Otah should have stuck around despite us getting a 7th rounder for a guy who by all accounts would have been ineligible for ~12-16 games...

im pretty sure the team knows more about jeff otah then us. When otah is phased out of the league in 2 years you guys will see why hurney did what he did.

I agree with the quoted article from yahoo. If anything it seems like Jeff Otah was a 400 lb. carrot that Rivera and Co. finally got sick of chasing. I wouldn't be surprised if his potential constantly changed draft plans, and then he can't go and you're back to square one. Maybe they just decided its better to move on without him, even with only minimal compensation, and consider the move to be addition by subtraction.

Why do I feel like Rex Ryan is about to turn this joker into a pro bowler???

Anybody else have an eerie feeling that he's gonna ball out up there?

Man I hope not.... That would truly be a shame!

not an erie feeling.

the panthers chose to move on. hope he does remain healthy.

He may just do that. I was in New York this week, didn't see a single Bojangles

People make fat jokes about Otah, but O-linemen are nearly all fat. Byron Bell is almost the same size as Otah.

The problem with Otah wasn't his "fatness". The problem, imo, is what was between his ears. The guy just didn't care that much about football, and it is hard to get yourself in top shape if you don't love the sport that much.

You can chalk Monday as a WIN

[top dawg]

Only a 7th. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

don't worry there are a million more options to help fatten you up in NY

i wouldn't be surprised if he cleared all the food stands in the upper east side by midnight wednesday

I absolutely like this three team deal. B)

[jarhead]

these moves have nothing to do with Stewart. We needed/ wanted another receiving threat as evidenced by us trying to sign jacoby jones earlier. Most likely would have let Otah walk for nothing next year or possibly could have even reached a boiling point and cut him this year

Rivera cant count on guys like Otah,T Davis ,and Gettis to be healthy so he getting insurance. I doubt we know the whole story on Otah.......Brandon Hogan better be working hard at rehab.
