BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We have a GM with zero expierience in 50% of his job. He's a glorified scout. And these contracts show it. Doesn't seemed like Mac handled much with the contracts other than setting a value to what the free agents were worth compared to their talents and Jacqueline Davidson and her crew handled the bulk of the contractual work.

We're going to be significantly under the cap next year as well as the following year, even moreso when you considering all of these contracts can be voided after two years if the players are underperforming. Additionally, the cap is going to increase about $10 million per year for a few seasons. When you consider all of this, I fail to see how we are in a pretty bad cap space.

We might not be able to trade down for multiple picks because we wouldn't be able to afford that second first rounder this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win4ever Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The Harris one is a bad deal, we overpaid for an older vet on the downside of his career, who isn't a great fit for today's NFL anyway. I think the line of thinking with that was, that we're moving towards a nickel defense predicated on stopping the pass as much as possible, and needed someone who was strong against the run, and Harris fits that mold. Although, still would've liked one less year, and half the guaranteed salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We might not be able to trade down for multiple picks because we wouldn't be able to afford that second first rounder this season. poppycock rookies are dirt cheap and when you trade down in the first round, you don't get another first rounder, you get a 3rd round pick. I've already looked at the two teams with 2 first round picks, neither deal makes sense in any way shape or form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJets Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We might not be able to trade down for multiple picks because we wouldn't be able to afford that second first rounder this season. If we draft an OLB in the 1st, we're cutting either Babin or Pace. Not everyone is going to make the team. We'll have enough for the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 . Although, still would've liked one less year, and half the guaranteed salary. then you would need to replace him as he would be gone. There are 3 teams that can attract FA's that are in demand at key positions without "overpaying" they have rodgers manning and brees playing for them othewise bidding wars always result in "overpaying" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberjet Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Harris is the team leader and is very good at what he does which is call the defensive signals, bright, great at stopping the run. Bowles will not let this defense expose his weakness. In my opinion and I think the Jets feel the same way he might be the most valuable player on the defense. This writer thinks that Spikes can replace Harris - give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 teams that can attract FA's that are in demand at key positions without "overpaying" they have rodgers manning and brees playing for them othewise bidding wars always result in "overpaying" I don't know if he's that much in demand though. I know Rex loves him, and he's a good run stopper, but he's horrible in coverage, and he's older. It would've been a downgrade to move on from him since there aren't that many stud ILBs this free agency, but the money would've been served better elsewhere and go cheap at ILB if possible. Someone like Spikes wouldn't have been that big of a downgrade, and I presume he'll get about half the money Harris got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberjet Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Spikes lacks the braimatter and leadership that Harris possesses. There are intangibles as an ILB that Harris provides that are invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJets Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I can understand Harris since he was going to the Bills and it is one of the best run stopper LB Since we're running a spread offense and he can't cover, wouldn't it have been better to let him go there, use 7.5mil on someone else and expose him twice a year?

Ghost Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm not a big Harris fan specifically due to his lack of ability to cover. However, he is one of the better ILB at stopping the run. He's going to see playing time at 1st and 2nd down and forcing teams to pass on our secondary. Let's not forget that Bowles made Foote look like he's 25 last year. He might be slower than Harris.

Jetsmanjb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I really don't see how the Cromartie deal doesn't make the list over the Harris deal. Dude has no agility and can't cover speedier wide outs. 32 Mill whadda f. I was thinking half that might be too much. Do we even have anything left to sign draft picks at this point ?
