Questionably our most dynamic defensive player signed a five year extension this week. Strong Safety Kerry Rhodes, a former 4th round pick out of the University of Louisville signed a deal where he will receive 33.5 million dollars over the next five seasons. Aside from Coles' contract complications I was extremely glad to see the Jets take care of a young, outstanding, play maker.
Although his production lacked in comparison to the previous year, there is no denying his smarts, work ethic, and athletic ability. With the addition of Calvin Pace and addressing another defensive pass rush or cover need in the upcoming draft, the Jets will be able to mix up blitz packages and let Rhodes roam, which is where he excels most. In 2006 he had many key interceptions and forced fumbles, using his quickness and impressive size for a safety to his advantage.
