Again the point is the cap as is -- is workable with straight out release of certain players, restructuring of certain players never made the sentiment of who they may retain into my factor was simply stating that the $14 M is what the cap space is now until they make the primary moves to make cap room and what they possibly can... Rollover affect and current flexibility was not what I was stating and I am not arguing over this fact, but the Jets are NOT hurting to make room with the ability to creative correct certain contracts with the players whom are willing to work with the team to open up the cash flow to keep talent as also to sign new talent to the roster...
Like you said, removing those contracts opens up some but in years past players like Brick and others have restructured their contracts into a prorated bonus or signing bonus to allocate cap space to either re-sign other players or sign free agents in the upcoming year...
And no I did NOT neglect to add in anything about retaining players, because I can not tell the future of WHAT MAY BE? Just stating WHAT CAN BE! The word by Jets beat reporters is that the team will franchise him -- ahem IF they can not come to an agreement which the terms of the contract prior to the season start from good sources that the only thing hanging up the deal getting done was guaranteed dollars and incentives... I am not going to speculate on our free agents who may price themselves out of New York...
