JetNation Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The trade of offensive linemen Wayne Hunter to the Rams for Jason Smith has become official being cleared by the NFL. When the deal was first reported it seemed as if the Jets would be incurring Smith’s current guaranteed salary of $4 million this season while Hunter had a salary of $2.45 million. The Rams and Smith renegotiated his contract for the 2012 season before the trade was completed. The Rams changed $1.55 million of Smith’s guaranteed base salary into a signing bonus leaving him with a guaranteed base salary of $2.45 million, which the Jets now acquire, matching that of Hunter. So the Jets did not use any additional cap space bringing in Smith. League source: Jason Smith signed a deal with Rams before 4pm with $1.55M SB. The contract traded to Jets was for $2.45M — Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) August 28, 2012 Mike Tannenbaum announces that the deal is official. “Jason’s a Jet.” Says there’s a chance Smith may play few snaps Thursday vs Eagles — Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) August 28, 2012 Follow Me: View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the article with all the links they don't format well in the forum and I wanted people to be able to read it. http://www.jetnation...ers-cap-number/ The $1.55m signing bonus goes on the Rams cap, the Jets have a cap hit of $2.45m just like with Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 pretty sure I heard from JN's finest that the Jets idiotically used up extra 1.55 million in cap space for Smith.

TnT Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wayne Hunter was on the citys sh*t list... He was ANOTHER distraction for the media to latch onto, and a fan target,..he had to go. And just maybe his back is a concern and the Jets staff believe its part of his EXTRA sub par performance. Which led them to believe rolling the dice on Smith was worth it. Worth a risk, maybe Smith turns it around...he certainly has a youth advantage over Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true all those tears I saw shed last night were for nothing. yeah when I first saw the trade, some people may have saw, I thought salary dump. No way Smith is worth more than Hunter. They both suck more or less equally. Hunter might actually be better if he can regain confidence. I am going on record (no edits) that Austin Howard will keep Jason Smith on the bench.

Rotoworld says Smith will start, we shall see. If what I read on this site in the original thread is true that Smith has a percentage of snaps clause that if he reaches he then gets 13 million guaranteed for 2013, so if this is true there is no F'ing way the Jets will let him hit that % of plays number that would cripple us more than we already are for next season salary cap wise.

This is what I was going to ask about. So that 2013 figure hasn't changed? Meaning, the dude is a serious serious part time rental this season.

Not sure I'm looking for the answer to this to, and if it is true, the Jets can't play him full time even if he is playing at a pro bowl level, that 13 million is already spent on Revis' new deal hopefully.

Cool, let me know if you find something. The deal seems to make no sense, unless its just to get rid of Wayne and dump this guy after letting him take ten snaps the entire season. Amen to locking up Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Guys, it actually gets voided IF he takes X snaps. Not if he does NOT X snaps. I know, sounds backwards. http://thejetsblog.com/bga/bga-scouting-jason-smith/ Salary Cap Issues Based on the information available about Smith’s contract (mostly from Brian McIntyre), we can determine the following about the two years remaining on the restructured monster contract he signed when he was drafted by the Rams with the second pick: - His salary for 2012 is $4m, which is fully guaranteed - He also has potential incentives of $1m based on playing time, wins and playoff success - If he earns any of these incentives, they will count against the 2013 cap - His contract will void if he plays over 31% of the snaps in 2012 - If his contract voids, the Jets could get a 2014 compensatory pick if anyone else signs him - If his contract doesn’t void, he is set to earn $12m in 2013 - None of the money in 2013 is guaranteed, so he can be released with no cap implications - His deal could also be restructured at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
