We don't have alot of money to spend. 

We only have about $24MM left which could go up to $44MM if we cut Roberts, Winters, and Williamson.

I would likely only expect 1 more "big" move which will likely take some time.

Cutting Tru saves another $8 million this year.

Right. His salary shouldn’t come off of the books until later today, right?

Or did the $24million figure include the Tru cut?

Once he's officially cut, his $12 million of dead money will probably split over 2 years. We pay $4 million this year and $8 million next year.  So that would free up $8 million of cap this year.

I don't think that was included in that $24 million number, so it should be about $32 million

I am being the slightest bit facetious...but only the tiniest amount.

My comment really stems from his atrocious job of evaluating talent in Miami.

Fair, and I understand he doesn't have a great track record to point to. And again, I don't like him or think he's the right guy.

But I want him to prove me wrong. And he needs players that are going to work in his system to make that happen. Hopefully, Joe is a good talent evaluator and has the courage to overrule Gase when necessary, but I think he needs to work with Adam to get the "right" players onto the roster.

I thought it was only a $3M saving?

[mj2sexay]

I thought it was only a $3M saving?

I could be wrong, but I believe with the CBA being ratified we're allowed to designate him as a "post June 1st" cut which spreads the hit over two seasons.

[bojanglesman]

I thought it was only a $3M saving?

That was before the new CBA was signed.  If no CBA was agreed upon, all dead money would have been due this season with no ability to spread over 2 years.

What ^ he said.

Something interesting i’ve seen with #Jets contracts handed out by Douglas, to this point: Emphasis on 2020 roster bonus with lower signing bonus.

No prorotation on RB like SB. Seems like Douglas is trying to get money paid to guys this year, keeping cap lower in ’21 🤔

Hughes

Hughes

If you took a quick look at the contracts, I don't really see where he came to this conclusion.

With McGovern the details aren't out but his contract basically guarantees he's here two years. Poole has a 1 year deal. Farts roster bonus for this year is only 1.6 million (vs a signing bonus of 3 million)

Sure I guess with Alex Lewis they kind of made his roster bonus big this year (essentially half of his paltry 5 million in guarantees) But I wouldn't jump to this conclusion like Hughes has because of that

Had we signed him to a more traditional contract bonus it would effect the cap by less than 1 million in each of the next two years.

Hardly enough to go on

I'm still pissed we didn't overpay 3 free agents as soon as free agency started.

Grade: F.

Let's not get carried away here; our tackles still look pretty awful, and we are picking at #11.
