WR Jamison Crowder renegotiated contract to stay with Jets

[Badger]

Great.

[steves850]

Nice. Seemingly both parties will be happy with this outcome.

[Libero_2]

Hopefully details are coming soon.

How much can we save if we cut him

What's Woody gonna do with the savings? Recoup for the vaccines that had to be destroyed?

This kind of nonsense is why I don't like hearing people bitch guys should show up and not hold out because "a contract's a contract."

Douglas can use that extra money to extend Marcus Maye and potentially sign Morgan Moses.

It's an important restructure.

The owner doesn't pocket the extra cap money, it just rolls to the next season.  Woody wouldn't blink an eye to spend to the max if it meant having a winner.  He has a lot of faults, but being cheap with player spending isn't one of them.

There is never a good time to waste money.  You will always be robbing your future team.  $5 million not saved this year will be $5 million we won't have later when we (hopefully) need it to make a run.

I was only going to be annoyed if they cut him. This is fine.

Not sure if things have changed but the other day Cimini had mentioned that if we restructured Crowder we might be able to trade him.

Potentially a win win scenario depending on how guys look in camp and if crowder can go to a team where his future contract prospects increase (since obviously the Jets are a excrement place for any wideout wanting test FA next year)

Hell maybe crowder restructured with the goal of getting traded.

[AlioTheFool]

If they use the money, great. But this team has been rolling money forward for years.

I was like Badger, in that I thought just cutting him would be ridiculous. But I'll also be annoyed if they just cut his salary and don't use it elsewhere.

Unless his agents were telling him that his market was going to be minimal at best (a possibility given some of the low contracts we saw handed out to receivers during the regular free agent frenzy), why would he agree to a pay cut to not choose his next destination?

Crowder went on record (thru his agent) that he wasn't interested in entering the current FA market, and was comfortable playing out his contract with the Jets.

Well he's under contract with the Jets for starters who could have kept him, or waited to cut him (potentially not cutting him at all)

This instead guarantees he will get to test free agency. Not to mention odds are the teams who could trade for him will have far better passing offenses than the Jets.

Is it time to extend him?
