kelly Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Injury-plagued cornerback Dee Milliner, drafted ninth overall by the New York Jets in 2013, did not have his fifth-year option exercised by the team. It means he will be a free agent after the season. Monday's move came as no surprise, as Milliner has missed 27 of 48 games due to surgery on his Achilles tendon and wrist. His fifth-year salary would have been $11.9 million, based on a formula for cornerbacks drafted in the top 10. As expected, the Jets picked up the option for defensive endSheldon Richardson, the 13th overall choice in 2013. His salary will be $8 million in 2017.Richardson has been a productive player (16.5 career sacks), winning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, but his immediate future is uncertain. He was arrested last July and pleaded guilty to resisting arrest, meaning he could be suspended under the NFL's personal conduct policy. His case still is under review, a league spokesman said Monday.He was suspended the first four games last season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Milliner flashed promise at the end of his rookie year, but he suffered a ruptured Achilles in 2014 and missed the first half of last season after injuring his wrist in a training camp practice. He was placed on short-term injured reserve. He was activated Nov. 11 and played in five games, but he didn't participate in a single snap on defense.Millner has undergone seven surgeries in his football career, the first five coming at Alabama. > http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15445647/new-york-jets-decline-option-injury-plagued-cb-dee-milliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge4Tide Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm a huge Bama fan and love Dee Milliner, but I would have gone on a multi state killing spree if he had his 5th year option picked up, good job Maccagnan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 "Delicate Dee" didn't deserve a roster spot last year as far as I was concerned, which I posted multiple times. "Potential" does not exist for a guy that is always rehabbing. Draft position should have zero bearing on a player in year 3. Entering year 4? If he gets hurt in camp again and they keep him for '16, the front office should have their heads examined. Not sure who coined that "delicate" nickname btw, but it is money.

Next year the entire 2013 draft, minus Richardson, will be gone. Half the 2014 draft is already gone. That's the bigger issue. Instead of young players hitting their prime and getting second contracts, the Jets' draft picks are nowhere to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 No way they can pay Milliner 12 mil next season. He's had no production even close to that level.But he's on the team this season probably and I'm interested to see how he does again under Bowles. Todd won't start anybody or even play them much who doesn't earn it. IMO he if healthy can be ok or even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. 10 drafts and a gazillion picks you can say the Jets hit on a total of about 7 players. 3 of those are DL, which leaves 4 players for every single other unit on the team. The amount of 2nd through 4th rounders that we've pissed down the toilet is baffling. Mauldin and Winters are the only one. Pretty much the only time we land anything with cheap picks is when we trade them for expensive veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freemanm Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thinks bout it this way though, with Cro gone he could get some opportunities next season and if he stays healthy and plays to his potential, could very well become the permanent replacement (at least, that's what I hope for everyone involved).
