Jeff Otah traded to the Jets

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, but it sucks that he's probably going to go out and become a pro bowler for them. We spent a 1st rounder plus to get him and gave him up for almost nothing.

Too bad we didn't have the Wizard of Oz here in NC for him.

Otah has got to be one of the biggest wastes right next to Brown. At least it is a wake up call to everyone else that no is immune to being cut, even a first rounder if they don't produce.

[PhillyB]

wah wah wah the panthers are going to die hurney bad suicide die we always lose wahhhh

[Ja Rhule]

Otah was pissing Rivera off big time with his lack of effort...

[panther4life]

I don't understand those complaining about what we are getting for Otah.

No one, no matter how optimistic they are by nature, could have expected Otah to get significant time on the field this year. And if all of us know it, you think other teams don't?

We are lucky to get anything for him.

Problem is some people are digesting it wrong. They are looking at it as us trading a first round pick for a 4th round pick.

Otah wore out his welcome here and would have likely walked for nothing next year. Its not hard to envision Murphy having more value to us at this point then Otah did.

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!

If it leads to a high pick in return, that's cool with me.

We traded Jenkins to them and he was good for a year or two but we still got the best of the deal. It isn't whether Otah will be a pro-bowler there but would he be one here. And the answer was sadly, no. What he does there has nothing to do with what he would have been here.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

High pick is not happening I think it will be a 4th at most and possibly a 6th based on # of snaps etc....

[Anybodyhome]

Otah: Good talent- no work ethic- traded

Clausen: No talent- good work ethic- still here.....

Can I show up at camp? I work hard and, at 56, my talent level may be somewhat diminished.....

[TruCatzFan]

Some of You guys don't get this do you???

Think as if you're a JET fan for 2 seconds... You just traded a 6th or 7th round draft pick (peanuts)

For a former 1st Rndr (filet)

He has far greater Upside than a 6th or 7th rndr...

Potential to get that tough Jet love... And make a BIG difference right away

btw... He's only gonna make $1,076,250 this year (Cheap)

From our perspective as fans: we got rid of a lazy headache that CAN BE* elite at his position when motivated

From FO perspective: (they know him way better) they got something for him assuming that ge's done... If proven wrong, it could result in a black eye...

We shall see how it plays out, but u don't like that we didn't make the Jets give us at least a 4th minimum... Although a 3rd could have definitely been gotten. They're desperate for a RT and they just got one for peanuts...

Not even a year or two it was like 12 good games...and sidelines and locker room division the rest of the time...not sure why more dont applaude the timing of that trade.

[LinvilleGorge]

Undisclosed picks are usually later round picks bro... We gave up a 1st to get him...

He wasn't an overall bust either as some of you have declared..

He was a big part of DeAngelo and J-Stew's dual 1,000 yd rushing season...

I think most likely this trade tells us that the coaching staff had already given up on Otah and decided to move on and we simply took what we could get. Something is better than nothing.

Clausen: No talent- good work ethic- still here.....

To be fair, I think it is safe to say that there likely isn't a big market out there for The Jimmy.

[LinvilleGorge]

This Murphy guy just became a 1st round draft pick essentially then... I sure as hell hope that he can come in and pull a Victor Cruz/Miles Austin...

Knee jerk reaction for trades today:

WR---- sounds great

Otah--- got robbed by Jesus and Foot fetish

Add them together and you get.... Well we'll just have to wait and see how this pans out... For fugs sake though... Please work out in our favor!

Did you ever take an econ class? Do you understand the concept of a "sunk cost"? That's what that former 1st round pick we used on Otah is - a sunk cost. You can't factor in sunk costs on future decisions. It's just bad business.
