k-met57 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 been seeing a lot of concern on the spending, and looking at OTC...want to understand the root cause for concern. based on what i can tell: 2015: we all know the story 2016: Committed salaries at about 114mil (cap number could be higher then this years 143mil or whatever it was) I think Marshall Mangold and Brick are re-structure/re-sign candidates key free agents: Wilkerson - must sign obv Coples - i wouldn't consider him a must keep guy, esp if we draft a pass rusher Demario Davis - must sign Ivory - probably let him walk Fitzpatrick - probably let him walk Harrison - one dimensional player, won't get big $$ Pace - probably walk 2017: Committed salaries at about 99mil (cap number could be higher then 2016) free agents: cumberland - hope he is gone geno - prob gone sheldon - will get a big deal/must sign/franchise winters -who cares so in conclusion, based on what i can tell we are in pretty damn ok cap situation except for 3 issues: 1. we seem to be very top heavy with talent, need better young cheap guys (Mac should help with that) 2. we have no long term QB, which is probably the reason we have nothing to worry about cap wise until we get one 3. we really need replacements for Mangold and Brick (probably 2 years from now). we don't want to have to pay them top dollar at a declining skill level just because we don't have anyone better Am i missing anything here?

Larz Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 if you don't pay a QB $15 million a year, you spend everywhere else until you find a QB, then cut 3 old guys to pay him. look at seattle, they gave out a bunch of huge contracts because they pay wilson nothing in a year or two they will have to cut 3 old guys if wilson works out, but that's no biggie because you have a franchise QB I used to worry about the cap, but it never goes down, it always goes up, so just get difference makers and playmakers when you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I guess I am missing Cro and Gilcrest, assume the Cro deal has 2 years of guarantees...no biggie. Agree with the above post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If Coples contract is up next year and Bowles can't find a productive starting spot for him we should trade him. He is a 1st round talent who could start DT,RE or LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We need to draft a RB that takes over for Ivory if or when we let him walk after this season. I would take one in the 2-4 round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 The jets will take a RB this year in the draft...I am pretty sure about that at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We need to draft a RB that takes over for Ivory if or when we let him walk after this season. I would take one in the 2-4 round. I agree totally. Also, I'd like to see them go for some more O Line, considering our 2 best O Linemen are getting up there in age, and you don't want to get in the position of needing 4-5 O lInemen 2 years from now.

David Harris Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Outside of QB (as usual) our roster, thanks to Mac doesn't have enormous holes. The talent in this draft matches up well with our needs. Is love to see an OLB at 6 and RB in round 2 and maybe another WR in the 3rd. Next draft get replacements for Brick and Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
