Nick Folk got $12M over 4 years with $2.1M guaranteed. His '14 cap number is $3.6M. It was $3.556M with the franchise tag. — Joel Corry (@corryjoel) March 11, 2014 Late to the party(happy as hell we got Decker and that tackle who replaced Howard) but this contract is WELL-DESERVED, IMO. 4 straight years of having one-year-deals and having to fend off opposing kickers and now finally Nick gets some much-needed Job Security.
I'm not sure what security this gives him if his guarantee is 2.1M and his first year cap is 3.6M..either one of those are a misprint or it sounds like we can cut him at any time.
What I mean is that it's not a 1-year-deal again. That's all I'm saying. I get what you're alluding to but considering what I've seen from Nick, I think he'll earn whatever non-guaranteed money is pointed out in this contract. And unless he really REALLY craps the bed this year and misses HALF(or more) of his FG kicks, I seriously doubt he would be cut. Besides, the Jets have MORE than enough Cap space to hold onto him for the entirety of this contract.
