The Jets wanted Ratliff?

An NFL executive suggested to me that maybe the Jets were trying to get Jay Ratliff from the Cowboys and that Ratliff was the player owner Jerry Jones was talking about as the huge deal he was offered. Tight end Marcellus Bennett is the name most often mentioned as the player Jones was referring to. Ratliff is a very good player, but I’m sure there’s no way the ‘Boys would have parted with him.
