After looking at our cap situation and the cap of other teams looking for the same position we are.. I have come to the realization that we probably don't have the fire power to get the top WR's in Free agency.. Robinson doesn't seem likely unless he really wants to play with Cam.. Watkins maybe be a option if he really wants to come home and take less than he can get else where..  Even if we are able to get 1 of them it could seriously hamper our chances to help other needs .. Example 

We need Pep back.. DT depht.. Secondary help.. Oline help..

My opinion is we will probably go with cheaper option at Wr's.. I can see us using 5 to 7 mil on Wr's options.. Get Wallace for 2 years 6 mil deal and sign Moncerif to a 1 year 2mil prove it deal... That would have us going into the draft with a WR Corp of 

Funch 

Wallace

Moncerif 

Samuels 

Byrd 

Clay

And no need to grab a WR early in the draft unless something great (Ridley) drops to us.. That's 4 WR under the age of 25 and a vet to play the Ginn Role..

We would also have money left over for Pep and 2 other solid vet signings..

I think this maybe the best move we can do in the situation we are in...

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
