KRL Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That contract was a "Tanny special". Forget the cap, get the player no matter the cost and deal with the consequences later. Well the consequences are here one year into the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Suh has absolutely no incentive to take a single cent of a paycut. The Dolphins sure as hell can't cut him at this point. That basically means the only option they will have if they want to free up cap space this year would be to convert some of this year's salary into another signing bonus. Of course, that would be screwing their future cap even worse... so yeah, that sounds about right for Tanny. Sucks for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtina Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Mike Tannenbaum "football czar" LOL. Did he give himself that title? He hired the GM and coach, so what exactly is his job title/description? Seems like a pretty top heavy organization. What a great feeling to finally have adults in charge of the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 http://overthecap.com/player/ndamukong-suh/1816/ Very odd. Huge number this year, than back down, then back up. But, 20+ million for a D Tackle? That's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 $28.6m cap hit in 2016. Read that again ... $28.6m cap hit in 2016. And $53.9m dead money if they cut him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, 20+ million for a D Tackle? That's awful. I think the "back up" bit is pure funny money - he'll never see that. 2018 he is cuttable (quite a chunk of dead money, but nearly $12m savings).

Jet Nut Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dolphins can consider all they want. Suh's the one who has to consider it for it to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Typical Tannenbaum: mortgaging tomorrow's team for today's team. Suh has zero motivation to restructure unless MIA is going to offer more cash or more guarantees. He's guaranteed through 2017 with prorated signing bonuses of $5MM for 2018 and 2019. After 2017 he'll be 31 and could easily pick up another contract if MIA cuts him. (But let's be realistic; Tannenbaum is not a guy to let his stars go.) Even if MIA cuts him and he goes elsewhere in the league for $8-10MM per season he still has the prorated $5MM each in 2018 and 2019 so he's still rolling in cash. Any restructuring is problematic for MIA. If they convert his 2016 salary to guaranteed prorated cash down the road then they'll put the team in Tannenbaum's traditional win-now salary structure. If MIA decides it needs Suh in 2018 it's already lined up to pay him $21MM ($16MM salary plus $5MM prorated 2015 signing bonus) and adding anything more to that year would cripple the team's salary cap. MIA pretty much has to eat it this year and plan to cut him after 2017 unless Tannenbaum plans to go full hilt on mortgaging the future and try to pull a 2009 Jets. So they'll probably do something really stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsamuel84 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Suh and Tannehill contracts are gonna handicap that team for a while. Typical Tannenbaum, some just never learn. Guy should'v stuck to being an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
