"The Jets and LB C.J. Mosley have agreed to a two-year, $17.25M deal with $13.25M guaranteed, replacing the final year of his old deal that had no leftover guarantees. The deal includes $9M fully guaranteed in 2024. Mosley has led the Jets in tackles each of the past 3 seasons and was named a second team All Pro in 2022." Gonna have to wait on the specifics to come out on this one or Jason from OTC to clarify, but on the surface this seems to clear up about 8M in cap space. He was set to count about 17M towards the cap for this year and now maybe that's reduced down to 9M per Field Yates' tweet? Also seems like they're adding an actual year to the contract, next year 2025, and removing the Void year.
uStadium saying that this move should clear up about 13M in cap space for this year. Wow. That's massive if true.
Thats an entire additional signing, sheesh. Makes you wonder if something is coming, Smith? Williams? Jefferson
Mike Williams would be terrible. Can never stay healthy and is coming off a fully torn ACL. No thank you.
Tyron Smith would be fantastic. This seems like a great move. Mosley is still somebody you want for a couple more years and save a ton of money in the process. Wonder who'll be next to restructure
JFM doesn't really stand out to me most of the time he is on the field. I'd rather say goodbye. He's Johnny One-Move. McDonald needs to grow up fast.
I was asking for this move MONTHS ago. Glad it finally happened. Mosely took a COVID year off with pay so now the slate is even. Amazing the moves made under a win or else mandate.
The guys that took a year off only got a small fraction of their pay (granted I'd take that number anyday
Why so late though? All good offensive lineman are pretty much gone. Jonah Williams was the prize (and not even that good/extremely inconsistent) and we could’ve had him for a short term commitment at $15 million this year and next.
Rosenblatt is making it sound like we made this move to free up money to sign the guys we already know about. That would be a bummer but if you're taking it at face value, that's a great restructure. One of the best LBs in the game, locker room leader, leader on the field. It was worthing having him here when his cap hit was $21 mil so this is all house money.
We had $11 mil in cap space before the restructure, seemingly around $25 mil now. That doesn't account for Tyrod, Simpson, Kinlaw or Morestead. Odds are this wasn't for the next "big move". It was to make all the other moves possible while still being able to afford some other guys and our draft class.
It's not just a restructure, basically the guy had a team option for 17 mil, so effectively what happened is that we did not pick up this option, but resigned him to a smaller contract. Not a restructure per say, since that happens for guaranteed money, and his was not guaranteed. As far as big OL prize, that was the Moses trade. We spent an equivalent of a 5th round pick on a solid veteran. There will be no other big moves at OL. Basically now we will probably look to spend another 6 mil or for the likes of Fant or Bakhtiari, and the rest in the draft. Maybe a smaller end of roster OL after the draft, likes of CMG, Wes, etc...
