New York Jets 2020 Free Agency

[Johnny English]

Hopefully we make a run at Larry Warford next. 

Remaining needs that we can likely fill over the remainder of the offseason:

Veteran Backup QB (Matt Moore/Joe Flacco)

Thanks babbie.

Re: Warford, everything I read about him suggests he's probably not a great fit given we seem to have targeted more athletic and mobile linemen this offseason.

Brian Winters isn’t mobile, athletic, or good at football

Warford is at least good

There's been some mention of the Jets possibly being reluctant to spend their cap money this year.  Who knows if that is true, but one thing that may be causing that is what the max cap number will be next year.  I've read that if it's based on revenue, then the cap max next year will go down quite a bit because of the virus, instead of rising steadily like it has in recent years.  I wonder if some teams might be prepping for that by having a cash pad to roll to next year.

Obviously I defer to dcm on this and other cap issues.

That could explain all of the one year deals too...

Yep, next year will be mystery.  No need to go into it strapped to a bunch of players.  Flexibility will be key.

TomPelissero:  The NFL just informed clubs the prohibition on tryouts has been lifted immediately, per source.

Should see a pick up in Free Agent activity now

If players sign a 1 yr deal now and the season doesn’t happen, are they still on the deal for 2021? My assumption is yes.

I’d wager we might not engage a guy until we are certain a season will happen

Naa, they get $20 and a free grab on a Pelosi tit.

Well at this point I have to imagine it's extraordinarily unlikely that there's no season at all.

Whether the season gets canceled early is a whole different can of worms.

Not to mention at this point they'd be making new contracts, likely aimed at players who are desperate for their shot in the NFL, so I'd have to imagine it wouldn't be difficult to put language into the contracts that make them only valid for whatever season happens this year.

For vet contracts it could be a different, but for young UDFA/camp body talent there's no question the league will let GMs take full advantage of them
