Again, it's going to be hard, but it is possible. First of all, we need to know what happens with the cap. We need to know that before we can even predict anything. Then, we need to know who the Jets release, dont re-sign, and re-structure. Until anyone knows that, they literally have no clue how hard or easy it will be to do anything. If you tell me the answers to that, I can tell you if its possible or not myself. But we just dont know that at this point. Next, we need to know what the players actually want. Is David Harris looking to be the highest paid player in the league? Is Cro looking for 4-5 mil a year, or 7-10? What do BE and Tone want? Those answers determine what is possible or not. Lastly, we need to know what NA wants. Everyone assumes its money, but the guy has more money than he will ever need already. Maybe he will take 7-10 million to play for a team that gets him somewhere he has never been - the playoffs. So, it really is hard to know what is possible as of now. But, anything is theoretically possible at this point.
Really? We all want Holmes over Edwards? You may want to check with the board on that one. I believe there was a poll. We also don't all want Harris back if the price is wrong.
haha. I was under the impression from just reading the board without seeing that poll that Edwards was the preferred choice.
jesus H fuck those 10 reasons were a waste of time. I could have read one of the posts from the dumbasses on here. Same shit. Pay me for my opinions, they're better.
I know I already partially responded to this, but I really have to look at all 3 posts here. They're just so damned wrong. The offseason is "pretty simple" and yet "easier said than done"? How exactly does that work? Let's see: I'd love to see your proposals for that. First of all, guaranteed money doesn't affect the cap spread, unless you're thinking of pushing the vast majority of the money to the back end, in which case it would be disastrous for the team's future. Likely cuts drop us down to $108 million in salary. If Holmes, Edwards, and Harris are each looking for $8 million per season, they're likely also looking for contracts that secure them for the next 5 seasons given the position their careers will be at at contract end. At best, you're going to be able to get away with about $6 million each in cap value, and that's with a few roster bonuses built in. That takes our cap up to $124 million. Rookies tack on around $5 million more, give or take. We're at $129 million. Let's start there. Again, please let me know which players are "important" players as far as you're concerned. We have 19 free agents to deal with (Dixon and Cole resigned). You've addressed 3. Which ones are you willing to let go and how do you propose to replace them? As I stated in another thread, the 'estimate' for cap value in 2010 was $140 million, but it was an uncapped year. After signing those three guys, and assuming no rise in the cap given that owners are looking to take a greater share of revenue, that leaves us about $11 million to work with. And you think we'll sign Nnamdi with that? With 16 more spaces to fill? You're ignoring something, though, which is that Nnamdi and Revis can't BOTH do their job and take someone out of the game. Each one has seen limited passes thrown his way at least in part because there was another corner opposite them to throw to. I guarantee you'd see Nnamdi targeted more often, and there was a study posted on this site a while back which showed the fear of him to be a bit overrated. You're also ignoring the fact that DBs can't cover forever. We can assume that it will be reasonable and not jump up to the $160 million mark that would actually allow us to sign everyone you think is "theoretically possible". Again, we can be reasonable. Taylor, Jenkins, Woody, Gholston, gone. LT possibly gone. Again, already factored that in. As far as restructures, who exactly do you see restructuring? Mangold, Ferguson, Revis...all got new deals last offseason. Bart Scott? His base salary hit a low last season and he doesn't cash in until 2012. He's not going to be dealt with until next offseason at best. Calvin Pace? With 3 years left and knowing he can't be cut for a cap hit this year? Where is his incentive to restructure? Sanchez is really the only likely candidate thanks to a disgusting contract number in 2011. You may see him restructured, and it may free up a few million. Next, we need to know what the players actually want. Is David Harris looking to be the highest paid player in the league? Is Cro looking for 4-5 mil a year, or 7-10? What do BE and Tone want? Those answers determine what is possible or not. And there are other teams with a shot at the playoffs who will be willing to throw money at him because they DIDN'T just throw a shitload at Revis. There is NO chance that he signs for anything close to $7 million, and even that would likely cripple our ability to re-sign some of our role players. We'd be a team with a lot of money committed to a few young players...and a shitload of UDFAs filling out the roster. No. It's really not.
IJR, you appear to know how the cap works pretty well....I have a question: if the jets give these guys huge up front signing bonuses how will that be calculated cap wise?
Yeah, just seeing the fact that he doesn't know the difference in responsibilities between a mike and ted linebacker should tell you all you need to know about the validity of his opinions on personnel matters. Plus, he's just annoying to look at. His lips look like a pair of bloated bloodworms vigorously fucking.
I see this next response has already been proven wrong in much more detail than I would ever bother to do it so just remember I tried to tip you off.
anybody see this faggots show on YES? It is the worst fucking football show I have ever seen in my life.
I don't think that aspect will change one bit in the new CBA and it would be prorated over the life of the contract.
Ten steps? I have a one step plan to get the Jets to a Super Bowl: (1) Next time you find yourselves in an AFC Championship Game...win.
