Blackout Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 wasn't it 5 years 50 million? this is just year 2 so this deal HAS to rank as one of the worst ever, right? we'll be lucky to get one 1,000 yard season and one 10 TD season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 1. Curtis Martin deal (signing an aging RB to a longterm deal through the age of 36.....insanely stupid) 2. Wayne Chrebet deal (see above, WR version) 3. Chad Pennington ($64M with $20M guaranteed, i.e. Brady money, to a QB with a broken wing and 1 very good season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The parting gift contract Parcells gave to the Mo Lewis (and to a lesser extent Cox and Testaverde) was bad, but everything about this other one bothers me the most: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/02/sports/football/02chad.html?_r=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 No chance. Holmes is still a pretty nice player for us. Vernon Gholston, however, signed a 5 year $40 million dollar deal including about $20 million in guaranteed money before he even stepped on the practice field...

jason423 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The worst contract the Jets ever signed was probably the one with DeWayne Robertson. It was a deal that just kept on giving and giving and giving him more money. Sure some of that was because of the rookie pay, but I believe his annual value under normal conditions was about 6.6 million. It was identical to Andre Johnson, picked one slot before, after Johnson hit his performance incentives, meaning if Johnson was as good as D-Rob, Robertson would have earned more than the number 3 pick in the draft. The pick after D-Rob got 3 million a season. All Robertsons incentives were so easy to unlock, paid at early dates, and signing bonus money that made him uncuttable. Even 6 years into the deal we had to carry a 2.8 million dead cap charge on him in order to trade him. Unlike Chad there was no way to get him to take a paycut because they knew he was 100% safe. Part of the reason I think Jets frontload deals so much now is so they never have a D-Rob situation on their hands again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez has a much stronger arm than Chad. I know its just in the sports fans nature to forget quickly but he throws a decent deep ball when he has time, we just haven't seen it in a while but I bet we will this sunday!

I hope so, I'm rooting for him. There seems to be something off with his deep passes though, it looks like he needs an extra step to setup for a deep pass when compared with a guy like Stafford or Rodgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 For all those who say Vernon Gholston's contract gotta remeber he was drafted in the first round and the contract given to him was a rookie contract. Santonio was signed as a free agent. He was a problem child in the past and yet the JETS gave him so much money with no way to get out of it if Santonio chose to be the Santonio of old.

If I'm reading Jason's cap page correctly, they can cut him at the end of the year with a net cap savings if they feel he's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 In retrospect, giving Plaxico Burress $3 million dollars may have ruined Rex Ryan's Jets career. He came in with his well-documented psycho-douche attitude, emboldened Holmes to revert to giant doucheness and, as a result, took away any chance of Mark Sanchez ever developing into a leader on this team.

HOF running back. worth the contract 2. Overpaid late, underpaid early in his career. Wash. 3. Franchise QB with highest completion % in league history. Coming off huge season at the tme of his contract. QB 64mil > #2 WR 50mil 4. All of the above earned their money first. Holmes only ruffled feathers and quit on the team. Martin, Chrebet, Pennington would never quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 1. HOF running back. worth the contract You don't reward players for past performance alone, you sign them to extensions for FUTURE performance. No RB in the history of the NFL has been effective into his mid-30's, and no successful team in the NFL ever hands out extensions like these. 4. All of the above earned their money first. Holmes only ruffled feathers and quit on the team. Martin, Chrebet, Pennington would never quit This is a business, its not about rewarding players because they're "good guys". Chrebet and Martin were a joy to watch.......in their primes. The version of Curtis we paid at the end of his career, and the concussion-riddled Chrebet we saw at the end of his? Not what I think of when I think of those guys. And a terrible, terrible set of business decisions. Pennington is more forgivable only because we thought he was the franchise guy. But the amount of money we paid him was exorbitant, well above market value. What the Bills handed Ryan Fitzpatrick seems like peanuts by comparison.
