Seems extremely ODD!! Will all the contract restructurings, player releases, new signings and rumors all come in one announcement?
Why is there no news, restructuring or rumors coming out of our Front Office?
- Thread starter NYJDraftKing
- Start date
Loose lips sink ships.
I would MUCH rather have a front office that doesn't have the kind of leaks the Jets had under Rex and Tanny/Idzik.

Silence means one of two things, either there's a secret worth keeping, or there's nothing happening.

well i believe the reigning NFL executive of the year has a secret/secrets worth keeping on march 8th.. he better.....
They better have some secrets worth keeping... Pat Kirwan ran down how he'd save like $15-20M in cap space in like 60 seconds the other day, mentioned all of the usual suspects including a nifty thing where you load Fitz and a few others with makeable bonuses that he didn't hit last year (i.e., making the playoffs, and some individual things) because they don't hit your cap until next year even if he makes them in 2016. His point being that next year you should have Mo figured out one way or another and some other things that will give you some breathing room. Seemed pretty simple, I guess maybe overly so but Kirwan seems to know what he's talking about.
The jets need leverage to rework contracts. If the player knows you can't easily replace him, he can refuse a pay cut. Especially if the players think they might stink this year, why take a pay cut to have a bad year?

The leverage is restructure vs. cut, or that total value goes up and/or you add years - which obviously has its risks. IIRC, Kirwan also said that Brick could be a cap casualty instead of a restructure.
Mac is playing it smart. A shrewd GM does not overate and overpay his own talent. If you can retain them at a reasonable price, fine, otherwise let them walk.
The only guys you pay big bucks to keep are your best players in their prime or just approaching their prime. The other guys are all replaceable for less money if you have to replace them, which makes it more likely that you will be able to keep your best players in the near future. This is how the elite franchises operate.

According to Alex Marvez (Foxsports), the Jets are "sniffing around the OT market". Looks like we may be moving on from Breno. Or maybe Brick (No!)
Read somewhere that Jet's leverage goes up once big free-agents are signed. Desperate teams have already overpaid, so there is less of a market if you do get cut.
I appreciate the sane, level-headed approach we are taking, but I'M DYING FOR NEWS ABOUT PROGRESS! LOL. Sane nor level-headed are in my repertoire :29:
Yes, I would just add that brick could say go ahead cut me, if there's no realistic replacement for him. We're talking about the top guy on the market getting 10 million. Brick might rightfully think it's not worth Cutting him to bid on a fa who might not want you.
Or brick might have said, improve our talent and I'll take a restructure,until then nothing.
Who knows, we now have to deal with a tight lipped org.
