you are probably right - NFL is a year to year business - teams that lose dont have the luxury of the long game....extra $8M could keep Robby and bring in a stud OL which would free up the draft.
I hadn't heard of it, but I just researched a couple of CBA articles:
thats what i thought - that will be big in Robby Anderson...if they were stick at 10M and he is offered $12M its only a $500k difference
but then there is the tax impact of playing in NJ for half the season vs say a place like Florida or Texas with no state tax. Not to mention any property tax differences. Oh, and most importantly, the playing for Adam Gase tax.
Terrible move by the Giants at the time and now they feel obligated to double down on it.
Well most experts I’ve been listening to have said building an o-line through free agency is a losing proposition and the proper way to do it is through the draft. Maybe Douglas will spend elsewhere and use a good amount of picks on o-line.
Ill give him the benefit of the doubt but man thats dangerous to go into the draft with such a glaring need....any team that likes an OL will know to trade up in front of them....with $70M to spend I would think he would have landed one top OL
I get that and I’m not saying I have no concerns by their lack of adding any bodies but the first wave of players always get overpaid and many times the contracts end up looking bad.
Jones’ contract: 5 years / $82.5 million, with $57MM guaranteed. $40MM is paid out over the first two years.
agree on CB overpays - remind me of the Tru disaster.....
its not good when the best part im seeing in commentary is that the Jets can get out of this contract after one yr!! lol....unreal
The word since the Combine is that the Jets are moving to a spread o-line that utilizes athletic linemen. Fant has some technique issues, but his athleticism in space fits the new scheme. He may end up being a good fit. Anyway, keep that in mind for anyone else we sign or more importantly, for o-line draft prospects.
Everything I’ve been reading has said Douglass only sees free agency as a tool and a means to add depth but teams are built through the draft. He learned under Ozzie Newsome. This has been the approach of successful teams.
I understand the Ravens philosophy - but they have had a winning culture for over a decade plus very good players/coaches.....Jets have none of that
I'd be thrilled with that. There's value to be had at WR in Rounds 2 & 3 this year.
I agree. Blech. I want nothing to do with those guys. Quite honestly, I rather have Perriman than Anderson at a cheaper price. There is no way in hell that Anderson is worth what he is looking for. Add a WR in the first two rounds.
Id rather Perrriman than those 2 as well....id still take Robbie if reasonable since he has chemistry with Sam but i wouldnt break the bank....if he gets $12M yr its actually $10.5M which isnt crazy
I'd live with it, but this guy is as dumb as a box of rocks imo. A perfect deal would be $12m or less for 2 years. Let him be a free agent again when the cap gets its huge boost. I do not want to commit money long-term to this dummy. Who knows when he will do something stupid again.
