1. Love it.

   Good depth with Robinson, as Muse is primarily a Special Teams player.

2. Well this was unexpected. Welcome, of course, but unexpected.

3. Not sure how good he still is today, but he fits nicely into the “All Name Team from 5 years ago” we’re building with Pat Pete, Keanu Neal and Allen Robinson. We also just need playable bodies at LB so I’ll definitely take him

4. Can’t have enough LB depth

5. People saying this would be a depth signing, but he would absolutely be starting next to Holcomb.

6. I’d be happy with it. Let’s the defense run a 3 man rotation more confidently. He improves the depth situation with wherever he ends up in that rotation

7. I guess? They need a backup pass rusher more in my opinion.

8. He’s 28 years old. If he’s healthy and mentally dialed in, I like it

9. I would feel pretty decent about the trio of Holcomb, Roberts, and Alexander as a top 3. Then Robinson and Muse are guys that could develop decent roles and you got Tae Crowder as a wildcard. It’s certainly not a great group, but the way you make up for that is to build depth and have guys with different skillsets.

10. It worked out pretty well with that other Jets’ LB we got

11. We really love signing guys who were pro bowlers like 3-4 years ago, but hardly average since.

12. Jets fans are upset he’s potentially leaving. Always a good sign.

13. Just what we need, yet another ILB who can’t cover.

14. Jets sub and jets fans on twitter are not happy about this
