It was mentioned on ESPNews Friday that Alan Faneca has agreed to a four-year contract with the Jets.
ESPN's John Clayton said no deal is official yet, and we're not hearing that one is. Faneca's deal is expected to average $8 million annually. It's believed he'll take the weekend to decide between the Jets and Rams' offers.
Apparently nothing's official yet..?

Alan Faneca's agent denies that his client as signed with the Jets.
"False report. It's a false report," agent Rick Smith said. ESPN's website reported the two sides agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract. It appears Faneca is still weighing offers. He could easily wind up with the Jets, but there's no deal yet.

if he is still in fact deciding that means we had to offer around 8 million per season,thats crazy,I want a top notch o-lineman also,but not at that price,I would rather wait for the draft,if we are going younger than that price makes no sense to me.go younger and cheaper.
What looks good about this is the Rams are looking and willing to spend big money on a great player. Now that Fanneca is possibly gone I expect us to sign Jacob Bell or Jake Scott
you have to make sacrifices to win. if it pays off, who will be complaning? I wont!
Just to update, the deal is a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $21 million in guarantees. It makes him the highest paid offensive linemen in the league.
That's crazy, I'm glad we stayed away from that.Quote:

No. 3, I maintained that they'd make a serious run at Faneca. They tried to. He wasn't interested.
