Lol back afta this.

I believe I read the language was “before the new league year starts” so I imagine he resigns at 4:02 pm on the date of the new league year

I mean we did trade him to another NY team playing on the same stadium so it's not like he had to move or anything.

If they're going to wait for the new contract year we might as well make a play for him, just for the giggles of trading a guy and signing him back a few weeks later in free agency

Can we please stop drafting first round DLine only to lose them about three years later? Thanks.

I'm still bitter, that pick should have been a fourth. They just timed it so he officially put pen to paper a day or two into the new league year even though it seems obvious they had already agreed to an extension.

i feel like every extension - contingent deal ends up occurring like this. at least it's happened to the jets before. i specifically remember this occurring with the vilma trade to the saints.

You'd think they'd change the language of the deal by now e.g. "4th becomes a 3rd if player is on your roster in X year"

i was thinking this as i was making that post but i'm sure there's some clause or stipulation in the CBA that wouldn't allow this to happen for whatever reason

Yeah, that's the only explanation for why that isn't the norm.

Or it's basically a 'farce' for teams that give up the player to say "look what we got!" but in reality are comfortable accepting x pick thats a round lower.
