I’m not sure but I think it still cancels out since he made the 53. Remember the other Charles Johnson? I remember that if he made the Jets opening day roster we would have gotten a 6th for Dickson because he wouldn’t have been canceled out.

Also, since he made the roster and was a vet, we spent $3.75M and get nothing back. Vets salary becomes guaranteed when they are on the week 1 53. That’s why we signed Reid after week 1.

There was no need to sign Roberts early and lose a comp pick and guarantee his salary. I believe we paid Smith and Roberts $10M for 21 catches. Not bad at all. Thrown in Short’s money and we basically pissed away almost two years of Moton.

I remember that Charles Johnson. The panthers got Mike Davis and Donte Moncrief cause the teams didnt want them to count against the comp formula. I believe its counts if they where on the week 10 roster. No idea if that changed this year or not. That salary hurts, should have cut him before week 1......but I wanted to do that for Davis too...They must have been worried about samuels health and just having "pro" WR for bradys system that relies heavy on WRs. They signed them before the draft too, since the plan was focused on defense. It didnt work out like other moves this year.

I looked and couldn’t find anything about how long. I do remember CJ was cut before the first 53 and there was discussion (might have been on OTC) that we would have gotten a pick for Dickson if he made the 53. That’s why I think we won’t get anything. That said they did rewrite some of the CBA this year for some of the loopholes (releasing for voided year doesn’t count), so no clue if he opens up another pick. It’ll be a late one anyway.

Looks like Hurney tried to trade him, but found no takers. Not really surprising since any team wanting him would know he was getting cut and he isn’t subject to waivers. If true that we will get a 7th comp pick back for cutting him then it doesn’t really matter that he wasn’t traded because that’s all he was worth anyway.

It was surprising when Robert’s, Zylstra, and Kirkwood were getting snaps but not Cooper. I know I’m a Gamecock fan so I’m biased, but Cooper was like the beta version of Debo Samuel back in college. I guess he just isn’t showing the coaches much in terms of WR play.

I know he had some injuries, so idk if that had any lasting effect, but he has not looked as nearly as fast or as explosive as I remember him being in college and early on in his NFL career.

      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.
