Scott signs with Jets

Recommended Posts

Bart Scott reportedly is going to give the Ravens a chance to match the Jets' five-year, $40 million contract offer.

In an effort to break the story, many national sources said the deal was officially agreed to. But it was never signed and it now appears Scott is having second thoughts and wants to give Baltimore another shot. We don't see why Baltimore wouldn't match now, but it's no lock. We'll find out shortly.

The Baltimore Sun passes along speculation that the Ravens are now offering Bart Scott a five-year, $42 million contract.

That's $2 million more than the Jets' offer. Scott also reportedly wants to be assured that he will be the "center piece" of the new defense, which means he would be taking over Ray Lewis' spot. Scott is still negotiating with both clubs.

Bart Scott has reportedly agreed to join the Jets after they upped their offer to a 6-year, $48 million contract.

Scott had originally agreed to five years and $40 million before deciding to give the Ravens a chance to match. It's not clear why he ultimately chose the Jets, but the extra $6 million likely had a lot to do with it. Scott's exit makes it more likely that Ray Lewis will return to Baltimore.
