Rebounding from the Nnamdi Asomugha snub, the New York Jets moved to
fill their vacant cornerback spot, coming to a contract agreement
early Monday morning with Antonio Cromartie, according to a league
source.
He will sign a four-year, $32 million contract, according to a league
source -- $4 million per year less than Asomugha's deal with the
Philadelphia Eagles and $1.75 million per year less than Johnathan
Joseph's contract with the Houston Texans.

Plus there were some stats (FO maybe) that indicated Joseph may not be
that solid as a cover CB.
I like the price we got Cro at and the term.
