The New York Jets and guard Alan Faneca have tentatively agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal that includes roughly $23 million in guarantees, ESPN's Michael Smith reports. Faneca is expected to travel to New York this weekend, when the deal will be finalized. The Jets plan to play Faneca at left guard.

ESPN - Faneca, Jets agree in principle to four-year, $32M deal - NFL

this is a mega signing for the jets who went from an atrocious line a couple of years ago to one of the best now. if a few things bounce right and mr mcfadden falls to #6 as well and gets to run behind this line, watch out! he could run for 2000 in his first season!

This was a big signing, I figured this would be one of the first guys to be snatched up.

Nice move by the Jets. They started building a Oline using early picks on O linemen. Now they appear to have hit Free Agency at just the right time to add a key addition to that line. Teams seem to be a little more willing to invest early picks on the Oline after the jets had success doing it.

Are we sure about Faneca going to the Jets?

I also saw on NFL network that he was still deciding.

This is from yahoo.

• Faneca mulling offers: Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca will not be taking any visits this free agent period, choosing instead to hash out several offers, a source told Yahoo! Sports. The New York Jets, St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers currently are in the mix, and Faneca could have a deal signed by Sunday. He is expected to ink a deal that ranges between four and five years at $32-$40 million.

ESPN is saying its a done deal with Jets.

But at 9 on NFL network they said it wasn't.

nicholete · 03-01-2008, 12:52 AM

But you trust ESPN?

nicholete · 03-01-2008, 01:09 AM

you're crazy.

I don't trust anyone. And the deal is not official, just reported in the original link as agreed to in principal. I'd say this is 98% done at this point.
