CrazyCarl40 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Nick Folk too. Breno should have been cut a year ago. A waste of money and roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This has been a great start to the off-season. I expect a lot more dead weight to be shed and the Jets to be very active in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Active in fraud agency?" Hopefully not. Some inexpensive, versatile O-Linemen, inexpensive youth on defense and special teams. NO OVERPAID BIG NAMES!!!

Rarely does a team ever become great exclusively through the draft. It's vital to make moves in FA and trades in the off-season. The Jets need a cornerback - go sign one of the many young studs available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The NY Jets have announced that they have released kicker Nick Folk and RT Breno Giacomini. Chris Lopresti is reporting that these moves free up 7.5 million against the salary cap. Nick Folk, who is 32, is entering his 11th year in the league. He spent the last 7 years with the Jets. The Jets have released K Nick Folk, who ranks No. 2 on the franchise’s all-time points list with 729. “It’s a sad day, but that’s the business side of things,” Folk said as he finished cleaning out his locker at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center this afternoon. “I had a great seven years here. I think the only thing that would’ve topped it off would’e been a couple of Super Bowl wins. “There’s been a great group of guys in this locker room from 2010 till now. I can’t thank Mike Tannenbaum, Rex [Ryan], John Idzik, Todd [Bowles] and Mike Maccagnan enough for keeping me around for seven years. This was our second home. It’s been a lot of fun and my wife and I have enjoyed every minute of it.” Giacomini made 32 starts for the Jets his first two years with the team. He was hurt most of last year and only played in 5 games due to his back injury. Folk and Giacomini both stand-up guys in the locker room. They will be missed in there. #nyj — Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) February 23, 2017 Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan77 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm going to just put this out there because someone has to in the wake of Folk getting the boot (pun)... Not advocating this so don't hit me! 3 college kickers are generally thought to be draft worthy this year... Zane has been mocked as high as the 4th round.

The Giants are going to feel this crunch as well If cuts go well, Jets will have about 40m in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to keep marshall but if he goes i can understand,. Getting rid of both him and decker is going back about 3 years when we had no weapons and no after 1 year all the younger guys have not taken the place of these vets. I would have liked to see REvis be the 1st one cut off this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 These were both good citizens. Breno was kept a year too long. He was kept because the thought for 2016 was that the Jets would be competitive, and they wanted to keep around a T who could play. Problem with that approach was that the Jets were competitive in 2016, and Breno really could never play. He will likely not be able to play in 2017 either. I think his retirement is coming. His salary cap space for 2016 was wasted and could have been used this year or last year to lock up the future. Folk was a capable kicker-likely more capable than anyone they could sign, but a potential draft pick would be interesting. Cutting him is another sign that perhaps a true rebulid is on the way. Thus far, and it is very early, but we have not seen any short-term win now moves (like keeping Clady). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
