jetguy32 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Why won't they release Milliner... it will save 4 mill in cap space. He is at best our 5th corner who wont stay healthy. Don't understand keeping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's my belief there is no money saved by cutting him, it's a guaranteed salary. The front office isn't stupid, otherwise Milliner would've been cut loose already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 4 million dollar salary is dead money if cut. You save zero by cutting him. Also, CB depth is a real issue right now as well. He'll get one more offseason to show something. I doubt he will.

JetPotato Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There no upside in cutting one of your starting corners, especially when it gets you no significant cap room. The fan bloodlust for this guy is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Because he is not "at best our 5th corner." At worst he is our 5th corner. At best, he is a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take the cap hit whether he is on the team or not. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/dee-milliner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan bloodlust for this guy is absurd. Except he's not a starting corner. In fact last season he was behind both Williams and McDougle. He never sniffered an outside CB role all year. In fact he hasn't since his rookie season 3 years ago. Now with that said contrary to the OP's note, there is no monetary benefit of cutting him, so there is no sense cutting him. But right now he's not even a football player. If you have high expectations of him you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Much like Cro this kid is a hell of an athlete with little in the way of technique. With all the injuries he's sustained his athletic edge is likely gone, which means he will have had to seriously upgrade his technique over these last years which is doubtful because he's spent most of that time on a stationary bike.

If you get him to take some of the guarantee as a bonus, then you have to add years. Why add years with a guy that has barely seen the field? You don't. Better off just biting the bullet with him this year, and hoping he can contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest problem has been the ability to stay healthy. When he has played, he developed well. If he's healthy, he'll be in contention to start. Let's not pretend that our other corners on the roster behind Revis are anything more than JAGS. He might just be the 2nd best one we have, even if it doesn't mean he's anything more than that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Now that MIlliner is finally coming into camp healthy, some of you GM wannabes want to cut him? Brilliant. He may be a bust, but there is no reason to cut a kid with his potential that showed some flashes towards the end of his rookie season. I am not suggesting we give him a long term contract or that we name him the starter today, but there is no good reason to cut him when he is currently healthy and cutting him saves nothing against the cap. Cutting guys like him and Geno only make angry/bitter fans happy. Luckily Mccags is running the show and not SOJFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony The Wiz Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 When they drafted him I was pissed. He was an overrated CB on a great Alabama team but his biggest fault was all his past injuries he had already had. Just can't draft a guy that high with 4 issues on his body.

I think he has alot of promise if he can stay on the field. Last 4 games of his rookie season, there was alot to be excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
