Who stays? Who goes?
this list of players are affordable and all have potential.
using this list as a starting point to build the roster should be Douglas's game plan after this season.
Players like Trumaine Johnson has to be a gimme to cut him.
Players like Henry Anderson, Avery Williamson and C.J. Mosley can save money but the timing is key, all three have bonuses a few days into the league year to either cut or trade them. Mosley if cut/traded by the third day of league the Jets save a whopping $16 M for 2020 ($1.5 M dead loss; but roster bonus of $10 M savings not to mention $6 M base salary) also savings on the rest of the contract.
Players like Darryl Roberts cut/traded save full salary of $6 M.
Players like Bellamy & J Harrison are replaceable players that save $2.25 M each.
Player like Brian Winters no guarantees in his contract with a cap savings of $7 M no brainer.
Le'Veon Bell's contract can only be moved via trade for the team to save money next year, but year after can be cut to save big dollars.
Jamison Crowder like Bell can be traded to save the team $8 M with $2 M dead loss if the team feels they can get value in draft compensation for him.
Quincy Enunwa, depending on if he retires due to this his second neck injury. But if the team decides to cut/trade him they can save $7.8 M of his base salary by March 20. $1.8 M dead loss but his durability makes this a likely cut.
Have to wonder what this team will look like.
