Here is a link to Jets salary cap info http://www.nyjetscap.com/salary.html What's interesting is the "Cap Savings if Cut" column If I read this correctly, Jets will save over $20 million if they cut or restructure Jenkins, Gholston, Woody, Bryant Thomas, Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, Ben Hartsock & Brunell
Jenks and Gholston have to redo their salaries. Gholston's cap number has to disappear, that's absurd. I think Woody doesn't have anything happen to him. BT could be on his way out. He offers absolutely nothing to the pass rush. And I do mean zero. Brunell may return due to mentoring. JT and Hartsock could/are be on their way out. Sanchez has to restructure as well. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady don't make 17M a year. Redo that shit.
Not only gholstons inflated number, but Sanchez is waaaaaaaaay overpaid for what his production will be next year. I wonder if tanny will try and restructure him and lengthen his contract to remove that ridiculous 17.5 million dollar cap hit this year.
yeah something needs to be done about gholston. if he is cut that dead money will absolutely kill us.
I hate to say this but looking at Gholstons dead money makes me think we keep him on this team next year. spread that 5.8 mill guaranteed out rather than taking the big hit.
anyway the jets could restructure gholston's $5,806,667 of dead money to a check, so he could just fucking leave?
Absolutely agree with u there. Sanchez deal has to restructure for sure, but I don't want Gholston to restructure. I want him gone, even if it saves us 400k. If we don't cut him, we'd be paying his roster bonus, other bonuses, and his base salaries this year. Next year, we'll save 900k on him, but we would have paid over $5mil by then for this year. He has to go. I don't want him to restructure either. Its a waste of roster spot. Even Rex couldn't get him a sack after he had tried. JT has to restructure for sure if he wants to come back. Jets will release him if doesn't retire. Hartsock makes too much to be a backup and drop passes. Im not sure if Jenks will restructure. Also, I was never sold on Brunell mentoring. He can do that in a non-player role saving us a mil+. BT has to go. Too much invested for little return. I wouldn't mind LT staying here for another year. I think he can be an excellent backup to Greene and get 30:70 carries.
No way. We pay him over $5mil this year, then cut him in 2012 and save 900k. Thats a terrible deal. We cut him NOW. Sack of shit couldn't sack shit.
Brady makes 18 or so a year under his extension and Peyton will make 19 or more once he resigns. Sanchez is still high.
The articles about JT's deal from last year all talk about the 2nd year being completely unrealistic. They did it for a splash effect or something and because JT didn't know how he would work out with the Jets. It was basically a 1 year contract and both parties (JT & Jets) knew that.
We're not paying him over $5 million this year. That $5.8 mil in dead money is previously paid cash, including the prorated portion of his multiple signing bonuses. He gets $3 million in new money this year. The rest has already been paid out and counts against the cap either way. I'm just not sure how people expect to renegotiate a contract that only has $3.6 million left to pay out. You turn that $2.5 million roster bonus into a signing bonus and suddenly he's uncuttable next year. He'd have a negative net cap hit of $300k if cut next season in that scenario.
He's already MADE that dead money. It's not like it's cash he's still owed. We pushed all of his guaranteed money forward over the last two seasons. It's just still hitting the cap.
I also read that he played enough to trigger the 10 million roster bonus-essentially the contract was made so that if he did play and play ok the Jets would have to make him a free agent.
When does Shonn Greene get a raise, because looking at his salary made me sad. To think that at this stage in his career he could be an injury away from not playing anymore and still not being financially set (and without even a college degree to show for it all.) Scary stuff.
Aren't something like 70% of pro athletes in financial trouble within three years of retiring? 500k a year for three years is a great gig, but not if you're spending a shitload, paying your agent 5%, and have no great post-NFL job in mind.
You are right. I wasn't wrong either, but just misread the figure. I thought his other bonus was 2.5 mil. Instead, its $250k. Base is 555k while roster bonus is 2.5mil. Thats $3.3 mil we have to pay him this year. I'd rather save that.
What other bonus does he have this year besides the roster bonus? He can't possibly have reached a performance based bonus.
