Cap Space Cleared... Is there more to come?
- Thread starter gmf1369
- Start date
I think we will get More cap space with trading Richardson and cutting either Marshall or Decker. I also would think we should cut Harris... those 3 moves will give us an additional 20 to 22 Million in cap space...... Plus I think there is a possibility of Gilchrist getting cut and thats another 4 Mill. Also there could be a Wild card shot of trading Matt Forte (probaly for a 6th or 7th Rd pick) and that would give us another 2-3 million in space..

I hope all of this discussion of cap space doesn't get anyone's hopes up for a playoff run. I'd hate it if after generating approximately $50 M in cap space, MM went out and blew it all on a bunch of free agents who will be cut after two years. Save the money for home grown guys who deserve the pay day. We have way too much work to do in developing and keeping our own players before we can worry about playoffs or whatever reason for spending foolishly.
Why do you say under the gun... Woody said that they didn't have to make the PO just be competitive and getting better.
After last year's disaster, Woody is going to want to see progress. Understandably so. But if the team continues to cut some of the best players on the team, Bowles is going to be placed in a very tough position: be better with less talent on your roster. If we continue to trim the fat off this team, and go with a lot of young and unproven players, I just don't see how it can be accomplished.
Woody has got to know that this team will more than likely finish below .500. Maybe even well below it. My guess is that as long as the Jets aren't getting destroyed in games next year, that Bowles and Macc will be safe for 2019. But the fans and media will be all over them right around a 1-5 start to the season.
This is great it is like a fire sale LOL Look who knows if Woody has given these guys TB & Big mac an extra year or two. They grow as the teams grows. The good times Roll
it's not a given the jets are going to be competitive & get better in '17..
& if they aren't, bowles won't get an extension & johnson won't let him coach the team in the final year of his contract as a lame duck..
in that scenario, maccagnan will probably outlast bowles & get a chance to legitimately pick his own head coach.. especially if he handles this free agency & the draft well..
my thoughts anyway..
typo??
I'm not high on Todd Bowles, either. I'm just trying to get inside Woody Johnson's head. Does Woody realize this team is going to take a few steps backwards next year? Or is he expecting Macc/Bowles to improve with a questionable roster in 2018? Regardless of how you feel about Bowles, it's a shitty deal. If Woody is willing to go through the growing pains of a rebuild, he just might extend the rope on Bowles and Macc.
is a full blown rebuild shitty, especially after a shitty season?? no argument from me.. no sympathy from me either..
bowles coached teams far too often play without focus, passion & a lack urgency.. & let's be honest, why wouldn't that be the case?? a team takes on the personality of the head coach..
the irony is, he doesn't seem to see it that way at all.. he's content to stand on the sidelines, mostly by himself, with his arms crossed with that dopey blank look on his face.. & full disclosure, his incredulous attitude & one to three word answers in his pressers drives me nuts.. the guy acts like belichick without any of the success..
bowles is a lousy head coach.. & i say to all of his cheerleaders in NFL circles, if you love the guy so much, hire him yourselves..
Hard to pay homegrown players when the Jets suck at drafting.
OK. First post in this thread says Jets had $29M cap space before cutting Revis. This article
http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/20...67_million_what_it_me.html#incart_river_index
says Jets have $27M cap space after cutting Revis. I'm confused. How much cap space do the Jets have now?

Yes, I meant 2018.
there is dead loss that wasn't added into the first post.
NFL announced the salary cap at $167 million. Each team has its own adjusted cap number, based on the carryover from the previous year, and the Jets' cap number is $167.371 million, according to the NFLPA.
Counting Revis' release, which doesn't become official until March 9, the Jets have $141.1 million committed to the cap (top 51 players), according to overthecap.com. That means they have $26.3 million in cap room, per OTC. That might sound like a lot, but it still puts them in the bottom third of the league. In other words, they can aggressive in free agency, but they have to be cautious.

A rundown of the New York Jets' cost-cutting moves -- the players they released and the cap implications. (*-The Jets owe Darrelle Revis a $6 million guarantee, but that number will be reduced by the amount he earns in 2017 from his next team.)
<br>
| Ryan Clady | $10 million | $500,000 |
| Darrelle Revis | $9.3 million | $6 million* |
| Nick Mangold | $9.1 million | $0 |
| Breno Giacomini | $4.5 million | $625,000 |
| Nick Folk | $3 million | $593,000 |
| Erin Henderson | $2.58 million | $170,000 |
| Totals | $38.5 million | $7.9 million |
PLAYER CAP MONEY SAVED DEAD CHARGE
Thanks for the additional explanation!
The problem is that there will be a disconnect between the fans and the front office about coach performance. The fans will look at record alone as a reason for firing Bowles, and understandably so. But I sense the front office will take a much closer look at the development of young players, as opposed to record, as they should.
It won't make the Bowles haters happy, by any stretch, but player development will be an important metric.

Not sure such a case can be made about the current administration yet. The jury is still out, and it's too early to tell.
And you can't paint this administration with the failings of past regimes.
have to believe it is the issue that he is an excellent run defender and our linebackers right now are not capable to be that consistent especially inside. Lee is more of a coverage option right now and has long way to go. we have no depth in that position, so until they either draft or sign somebody will they make that decision to part ways with him. Wouldn't be against him sticking around one more season to help the growth and development in this area.
