The money will be fully guaranteed in Gilchrist's deal if he will be on our roster on 3rd day of next league year.
That's WAYYYY different than the spotrac site. They got him guaranteed for 8.5MM out of the 4 yr 22MM contract. Do you have a link about what you state to be the case? Thanks in advance.
Could be as low as $4 mil could be more than $8 mil. Adding him will knock player 51 off the list getting us $500k in return.
If they use the same proportions they used on Gilchrist contract, it's going to look like this: 2015: salary 1.5; signing bonus .875; roster bonus 2. 2016: salary 7; signing bonus .875 2017: salary 9; signing bonus .875 2018: salary 9; signing bonus .875 Total = 32; guaranteed 20 which means he can get cut after 2017 with minimal damage.
There was actually an article on how bad it was a few days ago, I don't remember where I saw it. Like I said that day it was released these people all giddy about his return will be disappointed when he's a cap casualty next offseason.
im a bit biased since ive never been a fan and wanted him gone a few years back.... but even if you like him i think you need to admit its a bad deal
I'm a bit biased as well as I have always been a fan. That being said, I like the signing but it is way overpriced for what his skill set is.
Didn't understand the Harris move at all.. Our d-line does enough run stopping. It's hard to believe that we couldn't have gotten Harris cheaper than that. On top of that the way Bowles runs his defense it seems like Demario would be in along with a pass beside him a lot, so if Harris becomes limited.. giving him all that money is pointless. But what do i know? They must have a plan already for him.
Of course, I have and sorry for the late answer. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/je...act?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
According to Overthecap, we currently have $12,283,974 cap space, not included the Brewer and Vickerson deals and draft pool. At the moment, we have 20M cap space in 2016 with 41 player under contract. However, we have a lot of managable contracts like below ones: Ferguson 14.1M cap number, cap saving: 9.1M Mangold: 8.6M cap number, cap saving: 8.6M Marshall 8.1M cap number, cap saving: 8.1M Gilchrist: 5.625M cap number, cap saving 3.75M Carpenter: cap number 5.575M, cap saving 2.95M Giacomini: cap number 5.125M, cap saving 3.875M Cap saving means pre-June cut and 20M not included this year draft pool cap number. Of course, I don't want to say that we have to cut all the mentioned players, only wanted to show that we are in healthy cap situation, which is manageable.
The guarantee is only that years salary not 2017 and 2018. If he doesn't perform this year they can cut him before next season and only have the signing bonus still on the cap, even if he plays next year he can be cut at anytime after that and they owe him nothing for 2017 and 2018.
This has been laid out in detail in the following thread: http://www.forums.theganggreen.com/threads/jets-2016-offseason.83631/ Given the contracts handed out in free agency this year we learned that filling holes in free agency can be expensive. I do not think anyone would want to cut Mangold or Marshall loose so that is $16.7 M that will not be added to our cap. Next year all of the following players are free agents. Resigning them would come out of the $20 mil in free cap space: PLAYER Rank POS 2015 SALARY 2015 CAP HIT Muhammad Wilkerson 6 DE $ 6,969,000 $ 6,969,000 Quinton Coples 13 OLB $ 1,515,381 $ 2,800,889 Chris Ivory 14 RB $ 2,000,000 $ 2,750,000 Damon Harrison 18 DT $ 2,356,000 $ 2,356,000 Calvin Pace 19 OLB $ 2,125,000 $ 2,250,000 Bilal Powell 20 RB $ 1,250,000 $ 2,000,000 Demario Davis 23 ILB $ 1,492,000 $ 1,686,490 Jason Babin 24 DE $ 1,350,000 $ 1,625,000 Antonio Allen 25 CB $ 1,542,000 $ 1,542,000 Jaiquawn Jarrett 26 S $ 1,542,000 $ 1,542,000 Darrin Walls 28 CB $ 1,075,000 $ 1,075,000 Curtis Brown 33 CB $ 660,000 $ 660,000 T.J. Graham 34 WR $ 660,000 $ 660,000 Mario Harvey 35 FB $ 660,000 $ 660,000 Chris Owusu 36 WR $ 660,000 $ 660,000 Ronald Talley 40 DE $ 600,000 $ 600,000 Saalim Hakim 42 WR $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Chris Pantale 43 TE $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Ryan Quigley 44 P $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Daryl Richardson 45 RB $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Matt Simms 46 QB $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Zach Sudfeld 47 TE $ 585,000 $ 585,000 Sean Hooey 61 RT $ 435,000 $ 435,000 If Wilkerson counts for $14.5 mil next year and our 2016 draft class adds another $5 mil that leaves us no room for anyone else. Not only would we have to cut Brick and others to sign outside free agents but those cuts would be needed to sign our own guys including starters at NT, ILB, ILB, RB, and possibly safety.
Harris is a lot of things he is the QB of the defense and he is drastically underrated.Id still like to see Demario Davis have a break out year
The David Harris hate is asinine. He's the quarterback of the defense, one the best run stuffing amd blitzing ILB in the league, a savvy veteran, and lifelong Jet. He's a liability in coverage for sure, but knowing Bowles, Harris is going be blitzing. He's worth every cent he's getting paid.
