Probably because they can't afford him. We still have close to 20 million in cap space left but I would rather draft a WR, save the money. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/ I hear a lot of fans complaining we spent too much money, but we are still in great shape.
I still expect one more big signing. Gresham or Stevie Johnson. With the new rookie contracts, we only need to go into the draft with $3-4 million.
Stevie Johnson makes a ton of sense for us, but I can honestly see the FO not wanting to get into a situation where they sign Johnson, then have Cooper or White available at 6. If you pass on either of them, you're probably passing up the best player available. If you draft them, you're wasting money on Stevie Johnson AND Jeremy Kerley.
How can we still have close to $20 million in cap space? Are you sure? I don't see how that could be possible.
I'm surprised Wisnieski has not signed yet. I think it would be great if the Jets signed him, that way they don't have to worry about drafting any lineman as they'd have signed two 25 year olds this offseason. It also allows them to focus the draft on skilled player/playmakers. On a side note, anyone else want the Jets to sign Greg Hardy? Imagine him on a 1 year prove it deal with Richardson and Wilkerson on the same line. Wow.
Johnson signed with the Chargers http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/17/stevie-johnson-will-join-chargers/
You're right it's not adjusted yet for them. What I wish wasn't on there is the 3.5 million to Milliner; kid was picked way too high in the draft.
Yeah and you wonder why there has been no official announcement by the Jets on either of them..it's been almost a week.
I'm hoping the pats dont. his tender isnt much money and they need some help inside with wilfork gone and i can see bill doing it to try and get back for revis.
no thanks on hardy. i couldnt root for this team with vick here, now he is finally gone no need to bring in more horrible people
glad it wasnt the pats.... that would have been a solid signing for them. johnson can play Sf was a bad spot for him and he always gave revis trouble
