In 2018 dead money coming OFF the cap is more than that Revis- 6 mill./Fitz- 5 Mill. A CB, OT, OLB, QB - positions that are worth spending that type of money on - or spreading it around to lesser players at positions of similar importance to ILB. Would much rather have Kevin Minter or Zach Brown in the middle of Tier-1 ILB contracts than Hightower setting a new high-water mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a safe contract. And Jets pulled their offer (like Pitts) once he left the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Goodman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 That's not an outrageous contract for a premier defender but would not have been a good deal for the Jets at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfine Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Jets interested in Hightower: This is a mistake" "This ******* team" "12/m a year for an ILB what a joke" Hightower signs with the Pats: "New England keeps getting better and better and we suck" "we missed out again this sucks" Insanity.

C Mart Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Albert Breer @AlbertBreer So Hightower's deal is actually $35.5M over 4, and $3.5M of that's contingent on him being healthy. Incentives can push it higher. $2 million in playtime, Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro incentives each year ... that's the $8 million gap, Dov Kleiman @NFL_DovKleiman So #Patriots didn't pay LB Dont'a Hightower the reported 4-year, $43.5 million deal. It's almost $10 million less. $35.5 million over 4years Joel Corry @corryjoel Dont'a Hightower's 4 year deal with the Pats isn't quite as reported. The base value is $35.5M.

Freemanm Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Cupcakes and a low-ball offer to join a rebuilding team don't equate to "an all-out blitz." I don't think they were ever serious about signing him. I'm not surprised he went back to the Pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I find the article title (Jets making all-out blitz for Hightower) to be deceptive. I wonder if it was Schefter who penned that erroneous article title or some other douchebag at ESPN just trying to create a false impression to get more clicks. Schefter, in the article itself, never refers to the Jets interest in Hightower as anything remotely close to being an "all-out blitz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Source: Jets had concerns after Dont'a Hightower's physical The New York Jets' free-agent courtship of Dont'a Hightower continues to create ripples. He wound up re-signing with the New England Patriots, but questions remain about the Jets' level of involvement. Let's try to answer some of those questions. Prior to his visit last weekend, the Jets made a generous offer -- five years, $55 million, according to a league source. The maximum value of the offer was $62.5 million. To reach that, Hightower would've had to play in every game and make the Pro Bowl every year over the length of the contract. Then came the visit and the physical examination. As reported by Pro Football Talk, the Jets were uncomfortable with the results of the physical, the source confirmed. What caused their trepidation is unclear, but it's no secret that Hightower has battled knee and shoulder injuries throughout his career with the Patriots. Essentially, the Jets dropped out at that point. You know what happened next: Hightower re-signed with the Patriots -- a four-year, $35.5 million deal. So what did we learn from all this? The Jets really, really wanted Hightower ... before his physical. Their offer was $1.25 million per year better than what he wound up receiving from the Patriots. In the end, though, the Jets wouldn't have signed him because of their concerns about the physical. http://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/67590/source-jets-had-concerns-after-donta-hightowers-physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
