Sperm Edwards Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 No he did not. Tannenbaum structured all the verteran contracts to come due in Idzik's second year. He made his last push with Sanchez and put us right up against the cap as much as he could to help, but he setup 2013 as the bailout year to be able to clear the space. Idzik just pushed the button on what was already in place. He did nothing creative at all to get us under the cap like that. Tannenbaum was an idiot as a personnel guy, but he was a genius with contracts and salary caps. He knew exactly what he was doing setting us up for that. Idzik did nothing good here. He had terrible drafts, terrible FA's, and did nothing cap wise. Not to mention he was atrocious with the media, spent 30 minutes on an ad hoc mumbly rambling mid year presser that was cringeworthy. I did not like Tanny as a GM, but I'll be damned seeing Idzik getting credit for something he didn't do. This (2013 being a planned dump/tank season) is untrue. Tannenbaum said so himself that he didn't think the team needed to be gutted in 2013, so he wouldn't have done it. He also would have kept Revis and signed him to a $16M per extension during a season in which we had no chance whatsoever, burning still more cap space and further, almost assuredly passing up on Richardson, and definitely Petty, in the process. He was no genius at anything, let alone the salary cap. He did this same thing once before, when he had both of his starting WRs from a championship game season - Holmes & Edwards - plus another in Smith, all hitting free agency at the same time. His genius led to Revis holding out as a rookie, then we didn't even get the benefit of any of it. Revis ended up making more, on a shorter contract, than players taken ahead of him. And he still held out anyway. All he had to do was nothing and it would have turned out far better. Revis may very well have still held out, but at least we wouldn't have paid him more before he did. No contract/cap "genius" would do such a thing. And he pissed off everyone in the process. Most of what he did was pay more than anyone else, so the Jets were the top bidder. Whether it was Faneca, Scott, Woody, or anyone else. Or like he just did with Suh now. That doesn't take genius. Also a genius wouldn't have given Santonio Holmes the leverage, in guarantees, to be such a douche with impunity. Why could he? Because Tannenbaum guaranteed him $20M. Why did he do that? Because he trapped himself into being desperate by having so many WRs hit free agency simultaneously. I was fine with him when he started out, mostly because I was sick of Bradway's half-assed (and generally bad) job as GM. But Tannenbaum was nothing. And the way he squeezed Clemens at the last minute, and did it on camera for Hard Knocks, was shameful and was nauseating to watch. Screw all these ex-Jets. They tried and failed here, so f*ck 'em all. They're other teams' problems now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
