Fun to blast the guy and he is not worth his contract, but we are paying him $9M next year anyway and there is no replacement on the horizon that is near as good.  There probably wouldn't be so much dead money, but hey some of that had to be pushed to fit Fitzpatrick in 2016.  

It's $9m in dead cap, but they're not paying him another $9m. That money's already been paid. So we're not really spending $9m on him this year any more than we spent "only" $10m on him back in 2016. It was 2 years at $18.5m per (on the heels of 2 years of Revis at $19.5m per), with 3 more year-to-year team options at an average of another $16m per.

They could - and very well might - designate him as a June 1 cut. That'd spread the $9m over 2 years ($3m this year, $6m next year). Depends on what other FAs they do or don't sign, as I'd have to imagine they have plenty of time before his $250K workout bonus is due, and will forbid him from entering Florham Park in case he gets injured on Jets property (which would kick in a 3rd year of guaranteed salary if he isn't 100% healed by final cutdown day).

Dead on as to the reason why Mo was structured that way (bringing back Fitz, which he pigeonholed himself into by settling on Hackenberg).

I just cannot see some team(s) really wanting him, where they might trade because they do not think they can get him on the open market.  He is that much of a dog.

we would have to " give-up " alot to get a team to take on his contract  :unsure:

one of the MANY reasons our gm should be fired and good call by Bowles making mo our captain and calling him a "leader"

Him being a captain is way grosser than the extension. He at least seemed worth the extension at the time, he stopped giving a sh*t after getting it so Mac clearly didn't have any read on his character. Bowles got to watch his lazy ass every day before announcing him a leader
