Dunnie Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 This is a long shot fairy tale ... but seeing as it's the longest part of the off season I can tell by the other threads posted lately that anything goes. What IF we extended sheldon to a decently valued 3 year extension. I think this would allow us to truly try and compete this year ... if we go 8 and 8 ... we could package Sheldon with our first round pick to move up next year. If we suck bad as expected ... no harm no foul ... we have a talented DL. If we are awesome ... we could trade or keep him because we will have found our QB and his name will be Hackenburg. The idea is that if Sheldon is already under contract at a good price ... he will be much more attractive on the trade market.

That's cool, it would be great to see Mo regain his form, (I would like to see that too) I just think Sheldon provides competition for Mo and that is valuable, especially after last year, very surprised to see Mo mail it in but it seems like that was the team thing to do last year The Jets can't afford to keep Mo at $18-20M per year playing like he did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now suddenly Richardson - whose value has never been lower - is going to take 3 years at $8m? Sheldon could have a repeat of 2016 and get more than $8m and I'm fairly certain he knows it. Just because other teams aren't willing to cough up a draft pick for the opportunity doesn't mean one or two wouldn't shell out money for him as a FA.

sciond Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think even if he has a good year any smart team would sign him to a prove it deal with his history. However not too many teams are smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real extension would take so much guarenteed money that it would be very hard to trade him within 2 years without a massive cap hit. He's making more than 8 now.

Rangers9 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 There is not a strong market for him. Based on what we've heard Mac has been trying to trade him for months. The thing is can Bowles get him to play at his talent level and not be a distraction or a problem in the locker room. Maybe a one year inexpensive extension. If he doesn't cooperate get rid of him but I'd give him a chance for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sanchez contract was indefensible because he was under contract and the only reason for the extension was to soothe his ego (if he had one) Extending Sheldon would be just as bad, but in a different way. He's the ultimate pay me player. He'll have a very good season so he can get paid and his contract will be an albatross around whatever team signs him. The Jets killed any market for him last season by playing him out of position which made his play not worth his off the field issues as well as gave him a league wide rep as a locker room problem. So now he's a plays when he wants to locker room problem with off the field issues and a suspension history so while he'll end up getting a decent FA contract...no one is going to trade for him.

His quote out of OTA's "Gotta get stats man,contract year".

Tony MaC Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 They seem to be cleaning house on the guys who contributed to the overall negativity in the locker room last year. They'll keep him for now because maybe they can trade him mid-season to a team looking for a good d-lineman or failing that he can maybe (stress maybe) net them a Comp pick as they let him hit free agency. But I can't see a scenario where he's on the team next year- especially when he's so expendable thanks to Leo. More importantly there's no way he's taking a contract that low- not for three years. Its best for everybody involved if Richardson signed elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotcheryifyouCan Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 hes going to the highest bidder. i bet this is his best year not only because its his contract year but hes not going to play out of position. at the end of the year if i was a gm id offer him 12 mil contract with incentives on sacks that way u can motivate his dumb a ss, but like i said he will get more money elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because they were playing a 4-3 alignment which the roster is not suited for OR Sheldumb was playing OLB which is a massive mistake by Bowles. Wilk decided to quit playing football once he got the asinine payday Macagnan will give Bowles a RIDICULOUS extension. Only a matter of time.

BurnleyJet Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Positive:- He's a rotation guy (Not starting over Mo or Leo, snap count) This should keep his demands lower. He's Motivated (contract year). Negatives:- Guys one positive test from a big ban. He's deluded wants $100 mill. He's also not the sharpest pencil in the box. Bottom line, he's traded during the season, and we get a 4th? - Or he plays out his contract, he gets mid range money $65-75 Mill. We get no comp pick, since next year we have $70 mill and spend like Montgomery Brewster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
