With his current contract, his annual cap hits would be: 2012: $5.95M; 2013: $8.65M; and 2014: $8M. No team in the league will want to take on that contract with the production Scott has been able create during the past seasons.

If the Jets are able to trade him, they'll probably have to take on a contract of their own from the other party involved.

I would say a definite no to trading for Scott - the Saints already have enough guys with big contracts who are not performing on the field as they should.

But the whole situation is interesting in that Scott was the first former Ravens' player Rex Ryan brought over to the Jets after he took the HC position with them.

A couple of years ago maybe but I wouldn't trade for him. Fin you say he have a attitude I say he has passion but either way thats what you need in a LB is a attitude I want him talking trash to other player on the oppisite team and getting on our player when they mess up. Vilma is a leader yes he had a bad year last year but he's the best thing we have as a leader on defense.
