That is what I have been reading (this is before they figure out what to do with C.J). Money is in your hands....how would you spend or not spend it?

Sign Coples for the cheap, sign Mario Williams for 5-7 Mill for two years, release CJ, sign Toldozer for 2-3 more years, and maybe a tackle to push Oher on the left side, like Williams will push Remmers.  Save the rest for the draft, and if injuries occur during the off season/regular season.

Word has it Coples left without a contract....which is not promising.

Can they get offered one yet, I thought they had to wait until March 7?

I believe he and other players released by a team can be signed now because he's no longer under contract to any team.  We did the same last year with Ginn & Oher, I think.

Thanks for the info. Then come on down Mario

They have to allocate 5-6 million for the rookie class I believe.  So you're looking at 7-8 million to spend. This is before any thing done with CJ.  If CJ takes less money this number could fluctuate higher. 

 

What I'd like to see is depth in the D line and secondary. And one free agent wide out with great hands. We need a sure handed wide out. I'll like to see Short locked up now.

Question:  What cap implications are there to locking up a contract with Short this offseason?  I've still not really done research to understand how NFL contracts work. 

Given that Short still has one more year under contract, if he were to sign an extension for a pretty major contract (10 mil+ per year) now, is it possible to defer that cap hit until 2017, or does that money need to be available in our cap for this season?

You could defer the salary until later seasons, but the bonus is spread out evenly over the length of the contract. So if he gets a significant signing bonus, it would affect this year's cap.

Also, Gettleman usually keeps about $5 million for emergency signings in training camp.

Only need about $2M in cap room to sign the rookie class due to how the top 51 rule works. Being at the end of the 1st makes that very manageable.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
