The "cap recovery" was nothing more than cutting Sanchez and waiting until the bonus money came off the books. It's not brain surgery.
Not to mention Sanchez's ability to play catch with the opposing team's players... Smith has taken over that job.
Successful GMs are almost never free to hire. the only way they become available is if they have major personal issues that pulled them away from a successful career, they retired and are usually too old or they got fired for years of poor performance that outweighed previous success. Basically the onky ones that are available have huge question marks. You never answered wtf the Jets are supposed to do about candidates that won't interview with them. Should woody hire isis to kidnap amd torture them until they accept the Jets?
Heh. After all, I assume Mac could have stayed in Houston, so he had that option. It's not like he was unemployed. GGB basically said firing Idzik, his hero (which tells you all you need to know about GGB in the first place), and Ryan was going to hamstring the Jets' search to replace them. We've seen no real evidence of that, and in two weeks both were replaced. GGB was wrong, but don't expect him to admit it.
Again you know nothing about cap structure and accounting practices. And either do I. If it's so easy then why hire capologists. Anyways, I don't care. You know what they say. Ignorance is bliss. Keep being stupid and saying dumb things.
There are always question marks, nothing is guaranteed, but you still have premium candidates and bottom of the barrel candidates based on their previous record of achievement. Not a damn thing they can do now. They made a really stupid move and now they gotta live with it. Actually, I was for letting Ryan go (you can check my previous posts for that), but I know, having two different positions with respect to two different people (Idzik and Ryan) might be a little too subtle for you. As far as real evidence, how about the fact that pretty much all of Jet's initial GM targets turned them down before even interviewing? Some of them turned them down to stay with their present teams but others like Ryan Pace and Chris Ballard both interviewed with the Bears (the other team with an open GM position) and Pace became the Bears GM. Not too shabby, eh?
