Tony MaC Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well sh*t. **** next years QB's (who may or may not be worth a high pick next year) I'm more concerned about the pressure we just put the youngsters on the offense under. Enunwa is the team's number 1 WR. And I hate using that phrase because its a position with two starters, but that's just a fact. I don't know how to feel about that. He's alright, but is he or Stweart or Hansen ready for this job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 What does Eric Decker's departure mean for Jets' rebuild, Quincy Enunwa? Comment Updated on June 6, 2017 at 6:24 PMPosted on June 6, 2017 at 6:18 PM The Jets are parting ways with Eric Decker. (AP Photo | Roger Steinman) 1share BY DARRYL SLATER dslater@njadvancemedia.com NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Before Tuesday, it looked like the Jets were done making prominent veteran cuts. They had already gotten rid of center Nick Mangold, cornerback Darrelle Revis, and wide receiver Brandon Marshall. The moves created $25.875 million in salary cap space, with just $6 million in dead money -- and even that will be lowered if Revis eventually finds a new team. Then came Tuesday, when the Jets cut 33-year-old middle linebacker David Harris -- $6.5 million in cap space created, with no dead money attached. Later Tuesday, ESPN reported the Jets will release or trade another prominent veteran this week -- wide receiver Eric Decker, whose wife confirmed his departure on Twitter. The Jets are in full-on, get-younger rebuilding mode -- and these moves just reinforce that. So what does Decker's departure mean for the Jets and their receivers? Well, Quincy Enunwa is now entering a contract year as the Jets' No. 1 receiver, since Marshall and Decker are gone. And Robby Anderson, who showed flashes of potential as an undrafted rookie last year, is now the No. 2 receiver. Rookie receivers ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen will have plenty of opportunities to contribute this year, considering the torn-down state of the Jets' receiver room. Decker, 30, is coming off hip and shoulder surgeries. He had two years left on his contract. He was scheduled to carry an $8.75 million salary cap figure this season and $9 million in 2018. Since it is after June 1, the Jets would carry $1.5 million in dead money this season (and next season) if they cut him. That's a cap savings of $7.25 million this year -- compared to a savings of $5.75 million if Decker was cut before June 1. A trade would mean the same for the Jets as a pre-June 1 cut -- $3 million in dead money and $5.75 million in cap savings, though the Jets would obviously get something in return. The Jets have $13.75 million in additional cap space created, between the Harris and Decker cuts -- presuming Decker is cut. And that gives the Jets some more cap flexibility, which is positive for a rebuilding organization like this, even if it is now obvious the Jets will lose a lot of games in 2017. Before the Harris cut, the Jets had $10.317 million in cap space, according to overthecap.com's estimate. But they still have yet to sign safety Jamal Adams, their first-round draft pick. He'll have a $4.047 million cap hit in 2017. Factoring in the Adams signing and Harris' release, the Jets have about $12.77 million in space. That'll jump to about $20.02 million if Decker is cut. 5 things Hackenberg needs to show Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg is entering his second season, and will compete with Josh McCown and Bryce Petty for the starting job. Here is what he must show the Jets this spring and summer. Teams typically like to enter a season with about $5 million in cap wiggle room, for emergency situations. But $5 million is a lot different from $20 million. Why would the Jets need to enter 2017 with $20 million in cap space when they're long past the point of signing free agents? Well, teams can carry over as much cap space as they want into the next season. So if the Jets finish 2017 with $20 million in cap space, they can carry all of that over to 2018, as their rebuild continues. The Jets obviously aren't going all-in on 2017, so cap flexibility for the future -- while being way under the cap in 2017 -- does make sense, from a big-picture perspective. ADVERTISING Plus, based on overthecap.com's estimate, the Jets are now scheduled to enter 2018 with about $66 million in cap space -- and that's before any carryover. So they'll have plenty of resources with which to continue their rebuild, if they want to do it via free agency. Darryl Slater may be reached at dslater@njadvancemedia.com.

On paper they look worse than they did yesterday. Any given sunday and all that, maybe some of these young offensive pieces surprise or the new coordinator finds a way to make it all work and the D returns to form. But I wont blame prognosticators for doubting gang green this year, not a lot of proven assets on this team... in fact there's zero outside the D-lineman, minus an okay pair of guards and RB's.

I think all 3 are involved and in the know on a full rebuild and a really bad season this year isn't going to get Bowles fired. Woody even said its more important right now to see development from the young guys. Now Woody can be impulsive and isn't always true to his word so we'll see but I have this feeling that both Bowles and Macc are going to get a full 5 years to see if they can move this forward.
