If I've learned anything from Jason over the years, it's that restructuring is just a way to defer the year a player kills your cap. I can't imagine Sanchez helping the Jets out by letting them own his rights any longer than necessary. If Idzik is as smart as advertised, he's going to try and buy Sanchez out with the money he's saving in the Scott/Smith/Smith/Pace cuts. Maybe Sanchez would give up a few mil in order to get out of town a year early with a giant check in his pocket.

Secondly, no prime free agent from any skill position is going to come here and rot on the vine unless they massively overpay for him. What, some WR is out there saying, "Boy, I get to play with a lame duck QB, for a lame-duck head coach, for a team that's habitually ruined the careers of every receiver who's walked through the door the past four years? SIGN ME UP ON THE CHEAP!"

 

cruel logic, but logic.

Or he could risk getting cut a year after riding the pine behind Matt Moore or a third round pick.

I really believe they could be looking to restructure him in hopes of moving him. No one's trading for him at $8.25M guaranteed, but someone might offer a low pick if they can get that number under $3M. As much as everyone here believes Sanchez just simply sucks, I guarantee there's someone out there who thinks they can fix him. He was a good prospect once upon a time, and the Jets couldn't've done a worse job developing him if they had set out to deliberately ruin his career.

The flip side, that they're really looking to just get more cap space in 2013, likely means that they have some confidence -at least- in Rex. That in itself would be an interesting development.


Meh, we've gone over this. Plenty of reasons for Mark to accept a restructure without new money. Easiest one being getting the same amount of money, but getting it well in advance.

That'd be my fear if I was Sanchez--that I get buried at #3 on the bench and get written off around the league as a bust, then have to scrap around in 2014 to find a minimum contract. Right now, he has some plausible deniability regarding his potential to succeed under the right coach. He needs to go to San Fran and take over Alex Smith's job as the backup, and let Harbaugh work him over.

If this involves any more painful hit when we cut him prior to 2014 then I am against it.  We are not winning a superbowl this year.

Well not with that attitude...

I could see Mark doing this because he is always concerned with what people think and how he looks to the public. By restructing his deal, he might feel like he looks like a good guy and can get fans to not hate him as much.

Nope.. He'll only do if it's in his best interest financially.. That being said, if he dies anything he'll spin at as magnanimous , just like that loser Pennington used to do
