would love to see Ellis and Dig signed. not sure we need to do much else other than some LB and TE depth. don't want to mortgage out the future too much.
Yikes alot of money for him. Good for the hitman, let's hope he plays up to it. And yea, if only 4 million counts against the cap this year, that leaves potentially 32 million over the next three years. Unless I am reading something wrong...yikes.
lets fucking sign lawrence taylor http://www.newyorkjets.com/index.html btw 6 minute press conference with harris, and tanny, was just posted.
By all means, look at the contracts of the top 9 NOT named Harris, Holmes, and Cromartie and tell me how easy it'll be to restructure them next year.
It leaves almost certainly 32 million over the next three years. With that guaranteed money, he'll see his whole deal. Maybe a restructure/extension in that final year.
Well then it doesn't make much sense, you are strangling the team for a few years over a few players.
They have something big planned...who knows if they can pull it off...but you don't have the coach, the gm and the owner all say we aren't done yet unless they hope to pull off something big. And they all said that yesterday.
Yeah, he just added some info since I last looked. I'm interested to see Cro's cap hit. If that's accurate, we'll have room, but they'll likely be one year deals that get doled out.
This move has nothing to do with Ellis. We could just sign him with the veteran exception. At this point, I highly doubt Braylon's coming back considering his recent "personal problems" and the fact that we've already taken measures to replace him. Osi still seems like a pipe-dream unless we're willing to seriously over-compensate the Giants for him. Whatever's going to happen (if anything) is probably going to be a surprise to all of us.
i love harris... but damn, thats a big contract... and nearly 30 million guaranteed. I just cant see giving that much money to a LB who isnt an elite pass rusher or isnt a guy who dominates games.... sure harris is a pro bowler, a top 10 MLB... i just dont see him as lewis/urlacher type when they where harris age. maybe im wrong.
Looking at it Tanny has more or less secured the core D for the next few years. Leonhard needs to be dealt with next year. It seems they expect K. Ellis and Wilkerson to step into starting roles. To me that menas DeVito gets the Kellen Clemens talk. Pouha is a FA, it will be interesting to see if they can keep him. Hunter, Brick and Mangold are set for that same time frame. Moore and Slauson are here through '12 so it seems that the core of the team is set. Next year for starters (barring injury etc.) they need to sign Leonhard a starting WR then look for depth so despite the potential cap hell it doesn't look like there will be a lot of big deals next year. It seems they've addressed both this year and next year. Redoing Sanchez next year and other moves will allow them to do what they need to do. So to me '12 looks like its a relatively easy year for Tanny, he gets a little breather.
It's an easy year for Tanny as long as he has room to work with. That's the problem. It's looking like a VERY tight year. It'll be incredibly important to evaluate young talent to see who needs to be brought back next season. Guys like Jarron Gilbert and Josh Mauga are only signed through this season, but they're guys who seem likely to make the 53 with our current roster. We'll also be evaluating guys at key positions, like Emmanuel Cook, starting in TC to see if they can step up for vets that we're likely to lose. I'd hope Leonhard opts to sign an extension for a good rate this season, but who knows? He may want to hit the market, and we won't be able to sign a replacement. It'll be promotion from within. I think our #2 for next season will come from the draft unless Turner pulls off a miracle.
