Oh and by the way... anyone happen to see JJ Watt's new deal? Would anyone like to still try and pretend like pissing away $12 mil on Revis rather than rolling it over to use on Mo would have been a good play? Please try, but excuse my laughter in advance.
Not gonna get into the whole Revis thing...but to say Pissing it away on the best DB in the NFL when DB is our weak link right now... Yeah, I want Mo..Have to have Mo...but how much under the cap are we again? Reading the Numbers you posted, it is possible to sign him but again...just pointing out that we were already xxx under the cap.. Ftr, Most people who are so Anti-Revis just don't even want to hear anything about him.
What makes more sense... signing Revis for one year (a year where we aren't contending) and losing $12 mil to spend next year or having $12 mil to spend next year when your best defensive player is set to sign a huge extension and your two best offensive lineman are making a combined $21 mil?
The only rationale for the $20mil stashed is the 2015 plan. They're banking on making a big splash and being able to bid on top quality FA's to fill holes. In the process, they sacrificed 2014 but somewhere along the way, forgot to tell the fanbase and the PSL owners. They really need to stop treating their fanbase as children and come clean.
At this point, the cap stash plus a high set of draft picks might be what it takes for the Jets to dump Rex and lure what the Jets to believe is a high profile coaching staff. And the new CS is also likely to be a total disappointment. So goes the life of a Jets fan.
Agreed. Kinda like gutting and rebuilding a Harlem tenement hopefully attracting high dollar buyers for a million dollar brownstone in a sketchy neighborhood. Gentrification Jets style?
A) They'd BETTER sign Mo for this rollover money to mean anything, and get better players than what were available this offseason to fill our holes. B) I'm sure Rex'll be real happy we have all this rollover money when he gets fired because we go 6-10 being handicapped at QB and CB.
Something tells me you didn't bother reading the post he quoted or the article he posted. Two different things. Do yourself a favor and do some homework before raising your hand.
So money wise, what does Percy harvin do to our cap room going forward? Feels like we have so much room it won't handcuff us
It decreases it by more than half. And we still don't have NFL corners. Time to unpin this thread, clearly Idzik wasn't as much about saving cap space as the majority here thought he was.
Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN 34s35 seconds ago Harvin's guaranteed money runs out after this season. High base salaries from 2015-2018. But Jets aren't invested beyond $7.1M for this yr
You are unbelievably wrong. So unbelievably wrong. We went from having $60 mil to having $50 mil and that's if we pay Harvin the full amount next year.
You save the money for big time offensive players. That's the NFL game today. I wish it wasn't but there is no way around it. You need enough defense and specials to keep you in the game but offense wins. Harvin is a big time talent and the club has a year tryout to see if they want to pay him. That's why the GM saved his money in the off season. This is year two of a rebuild whether we like it or not.
I'm talking about this year's cap space and all the rollover money people were bragging about. Instead of rolling over $21 million it's significantly less after taking on Harvin's salary for this year. Next year's cap space is a phantom number right now, it doesn't include the possible Mo extension, restructurings, guys we actually have to sign to replace players we lose that give us all that space, etc. It's like saying we have $200 million in cap space in 2022. People said we couldn't sign corners because of keeping all this rollover money, but trade for a WR and all of a sudden well who needs the rollover money anyway, we have all this paper space next year!
