The Kiddie Korps. have done a tremendous jod handling the cap situation and by doing so have helped themselves tremendously with both the draft and Abraham situation. At this point I believe we are over 10 mill. BELOW the cap. This gives the Jets a ton of leverage and options. If we wanted the #1 overall, we could now afford it. We can also easily pay an extra first or second rounder if we make a trade. It is no longer neccassary to trade Abe. We could keep him and have the right to franchise him for one more year after this one under the new CBA. What Tannenbaum has done is upgrade the price for Abe from a high second rounder, to a mid-low first rounder. No small feat. We can also afford to fill some spots like OL and DT with some affordable free agents, allowing the Jets to take the best player available with many picks, instead of being restricted by need. My top three targets for the Jets depending on the trade of Abe.? Mario Williams, Vernon Davis and Ernie Sims.
Regardless if he signs the tender or not he counts against our cap. Why, why, why does everyone think that he doesn't count against our cap now? We are $10MM+ under, when he is traded we will be $20MM+ under. If he signs it doesn't affect the cap. But if he signs it will only result in not being traded.
