It's really not the production from Baker that we should be worried about, but it's a commitment from the organization to honor whatever they told him. Baker is arguably the best Tight End in the division (Ben Watson? maybe?) and is coming off a solid season. He's been in the offense and can not only catch the ball but can block as well. Bubba Franks is on his last leg, and Dustin Keller (while I love the pick), isn't a NFL Tight End yet. He does look like a monster slot WR though and I can't wait to see how they use him. Looks a lot to me like a Chris Cooley-Vernon Davis kind of Tweener... Anyway, I'm glad you brought up the Kendall situation from last year because I firmly believe that tanked the season. Kendall helped Mangold with the blocking calls and losing that in between two youngin's over $1 mil is just unacceptable. Luckily it's a new year and it looks like Baker's agent (who also was Kendall's agent) and the Jets Brass are making nice... thank goodness... If Woody Johnson expects us to pay a PSL for each ticket for the new stadium, he better pay these dudes to bring us a championship!!! Camp's here boys!!! Gotta love it!!!
