flgreen Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I really hope they don't play contract games with Wilkerson. Offer him a fat bonus, lots of upfront money, and keep him around for his career. Problem with this might be Woody's experience with Revis. Will he be wanting to fork over a lot of upfront money, not sure if the player will start talking hold out in 2 years? Don't think Wilkerson is the type individual that will do that, but I don't know the guy either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's been reported from pretty much this past offseason that one of the very first things the Jets intend to do with the excessive amount of money they'll be sitting on in this coming offseason is locking Wilkerson up into a new long-term deal. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that, particularly if they can make it a bit front-loaded in order to help out the cap hit later in the contract, considering they already have plenty of free money and will have even more of it once Sanchez and Holmes are sent packing.

jetsjetsjetss Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 even though hes amazing and one of the best if not the best i hope he gets somewhere around what the top at his position is getting he may even get a little less because i dont believe hes a household name yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 He's locked in cheap next year and modestly expensive the following year with the option (still cheap for his position). I think a decent amount of up-front money this year should go a long way to lowering his overall cap hit over the next 6 years or so as compared to waiting another year. Never know till you start talking, but this *could* end up a great deal for both sides if reason rules the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCJETSFAN Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just rember his draft class was the first under the new rules and they all didn't recieve the contracts that they used to under the new rookie cap I think all of these draft class will be looking for big $ cause they didn't get it the first time . I expect him to get nothing less than anyone at his position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hold out on his rookie contract, and has leaked no threats through the media that he will do so now. He shows up to play every week, and that's it. They'll pay him, and pay him very well. He certainly deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I fully expect Idzik to keep his eyes open for pass rushers but I think Wilk is going to get a nice contract soon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 lets hope rex stops calling him the best defensive player in the NFL In all fairness, he usually says best DE outside of JJ Watt, so at least he's slightly scaled back. As good as Wilk as been, there's really a plethora of extremely talented defensive players on the line, so their contracts might serve as good starting points. I think Geno Atkins' deal of 6 years $56 million and $31 guaranteed is probably a pretty good estimate. While Wilk has certainly outplayed his rookie deal, we can technically control him for a few more years and his agent certainly knows that. What's funny is how good he's been, I bet his contract isn't even in the ball-park for what Revis asked for. I think 6 years at around $9.5-10.5 per year with about half guaranteed should be good. Certainly be nice to have him locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
