If he sits out, we save 15.7M on the cap, and we retain the right to use a non-exclusive franchise tag for 2017.
Wilkerson does not deserve Miller money, and miller doesn't deserve to be paid more than JJ Watt. I'm not a fan of Wilkerson, I feel like his sacks were not in high leverage situations.
Hell Fucking YES!!! Glad Big Mac pulled through with this one and was able to work something out. I was thinking that this was a bad signal for the Fitzpatrick deal but then again I have no terms of the contract details maybe year 1 is for less cap space than the franchise tag and we can still work something out with Fitzy. That said Mo is better than most draft classmates he's seen paid before him. Glad we could lock up arguably our best player for years to come.. Was not expecting this but I sure am happy about it.
This regime is Fort Knox with media leaks. They had the great Schefter looking like he had no idea what he was talking about. Broke their own news without a whisper.
Mac you are the f'in man! This will show guys in the locker room we are committed to keeping our own good stud players. Haven't been this happy in a while great job
I agree this is hilarious. I actually had the TV on mute and was stunned to see the crawl say 'Jets and Mo Wilkerson agree to long-term extension'. I was like that can't be right so I checked Twitter and sure enough...
About $17 million per year according to Rappaport, and a five-year deal according to Mo himself on Twitter.
Wow this is absolutely shocking and amazing news! Can't wait to have this guy be a cornerstone and one of the all timr greats on this team for years more. And extra props to the whole FO for keeping this under wraps. Very impressive
