DaBallhawk Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 You need at least 1/2 that for your draft picks. That still leaves us plenty to work with. Plus we can free up cap room easily by cutting a couple of players that we probably don't even need. Half of the league has less to work with, some teams are barely under the cap. If they don't have anything to worry about there's nothing for us to worry about, we're in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Man, looking over the free agents...why haven't we scheduled a visit yet with Sam Acho? He'd be a perfect fit here. I'd take him all day over Pace and possibly even Babin. Denarius Moore should be signed as well. BJ Raji would be a nice addition to the D-Line, he can play NT and DE. Lance Briggs is another guy I like for the vet minimum, perfect fit in the 3-4 as an ILB. Kind of like a Bart Scott type. Rolando McClain, athletic ILB with too much baggage. And we have to find a blocking TE in the draft... Blocking TE is something I'd like to see them get for the vet minimum, or just trot one of their extra linemen out there reporting as eligible if all they want him to do is block. Or an undrafted free agent, or a late cut in training camp. With just six picks, there are probably better values and bigger needs than a TE who blocks. The lack of interest in OLBs could easily be because they're targeting that position at #6 overall. Pace and Babin can hold the fort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some UDFA could easily replace and save us money. We're in pretty good shape. Would like to see another "speed" guy like Denarius Moore brought into camp on a show me deal.

#27TheDominator Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Everybody liked to mock Acho to us, but don't they realize that Bowles benched him? Acho was an up and comer, but that was before Bowles took over. His good years were 2011-2012. Bowles was in Miami and Philly. Acho got hurt early in 2013 and then Bowles benched him for Shaughnessy in 2014. Acho had a grand total of two sacks for Bowles. It is quite possible that Bowles does not like this player. I read that Raji was probably sticking with GB on a one year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably end up with the Packers again on a 1yr deal. I think they paid him like 5+ mil. for a year last year. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said he was there for a very long time then poof he disappeared. rotoworld has been pretty decent with updates. looks like the jets are the only team kicking his tires. it could be as as simple as his agent trying to get another team involved to up his price before he signs or maybe the jets just weren't impressed http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6658/denarius-moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It's scary that none of our free agents are generating any interest out there. None of them have visits lined up... - QB M. Vick - CB K. Wilson - S D. Landry - DE L. Douzable - RB C. Johnson CJnoK is costing the jets 1.5 mill in dead money not to play that's some powerful stank on his resume right now, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 jason updated the jets cap with cromartie. it seems to be including purdum's new deal as well looks like my estimate was off, and shanes was dead on kudos to tom "the accountant" shane http://overthecap.com/salary-cap/new-york-jets The Jets signed CB Antonio Cromartie to a 4 year, $32 million contract on March 18, 2015. Cromartie received a reported 16 million guarantees that we are estimating came in the form of his 2015 and 2016 base salaries plus a 2015 roster bonus. so as of right now the jets are at $12.2 million, needing about $10 million for rookies and in season flexibility. They can free up as much as $6 million after june 1st with various cuts and incur no dead money so the "play with" number is about $8 million give or take. I will await shanes verification of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLPA lists the Bills with $11.949M in cap space at the moment. No Charles Clay contract in the system yet. — Mike Rodak (@mikerodak) March 21, 2015 Hilarious.

Lith Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Gotcha. And then, you have to consider Harvin -- who said during Free Agency that he did not want to be seen as a gadget player but as a traditional WR. And then he takes the money and goes to Buffalo where he most likely will be used as a gadget player in the wildcat. He gets what he deserves.

Yeah, the only guy I'd be interested in signing right now is Denarius Moore I guess. The rest is garbage pretty much. ILB should be adressed thru the draft, and something tells me post June there will be some good D-Linemen available. Other than that we're pretty much set.
