Per overthecap.com, Prior to re-signing any players, we're projected to have $49.4M in cap space entering the 2020 offseason.  

The following players will be free agents, with very few of them having any justification to bring back:

  • WR Robby Anderson
  • LT Kelvin Beachum
  • DT Leonard Williams
  • OLB Jordan Jenkins
  • RT Brandon Shell
  • C Ryan Kalil
  • P Lac Edwards
  • LS Thomas Hennessy
  • ILB Neville Hewitt
  • DE Brandon Kaufusi
  • OLB Frankie Luvu
  • RB Bilal Powell
  • RB Ty Montgomery
  • G Tom Compton
  • G Alex Lewis
  • S Rontez Miles
  • OLB Brandon Copeland
  • CB Brian Poole
  • NT Steve McLendon
  • QB Trevor Siemian
  • OT Brent Qvale
  • WR Demaryius Thomas
  • TE Ryan Griffin
  • TE Daniel Brown

We'd also have the option to create cap space by getting rid of the following players (savings in perentheses):

  • G Kelech Osemele ($11.7M)
  • G Brian Winters ($7.5M)
  • CB Darryl Roberts ($6M)
  • C Jonotthan Harrison ($2.25M)
  • WR/ST Josh Bellamy ($2.25M)
  • LB Jordan Willis ($865K)
  • LB Charles Tapper ($735K)
  • CB Nate Hairston ($735K)
  • LB Harvey Langi ($660K)
  • DT John Franklin-Myers ($660K)
  • WR Braxton Berrios ($660K)

If cut, none of those 11 players would cause us to suffer a Dead Cap hit either.  

So we have as much as $82.7M in cap space if we really wanted it, though in that instance we'd be left with just 23 players under contract (a list that would include Darnold, Mosley, Bell, Jamal Adams, Quinnen Williams, Trumaine Johnson, Crowder, Williamson, Henry Anderson, Enunwa, Herndon, Maye and Edoga).   

TY! Doesn’t look good though. What a hot mess. This team is still years away unless Douglas has a grade A draft next year and can nail 1 or 2 prime FA’s.

If Darnold can be back for Jags... And the Jets are 1-5 or 0-6 by then I am not sure why people here don't think they can win out... They have the easiest schedule in the NFL after week 7.... 

Jets < easy schedule. 

There's  no  such thing as an easy schedule, for the Jets.

I got it in my early twenties. It happens.

And I understand the disappointment that he'll be missing some games. However it's necessary. Mono causes the appendix to expand. Any hit in a football game could cause his to burst, which could potentially be fatal.

 I understand he needs time I’m just surprised that he got it

I remember my older brother got mono back when he was in high school. And it sounded like and I think I've heard since - you get it from making out with chicks.

Good job, Sammy lad! 

I only wish the Jets could do their job and do right by you. We're 1.2 years in to an affordable QB contract, so far it's gone to waste in terms of maxing out that cap opportunity like the Eagles and Rams did recently.

This said Siemian can make some things happen with a great, non fearball game plan. 

C'mon Gase! Go all out on offense, run Bell in to the ground and let's shock the world on MNF!

I think he's going to be out at least two months, and probably  longer. No way he's back for the Eagles game in week 5.

 

 

Young Athletes Need to Be Sidelined After Bout of Mono

SUNDAY, April 14, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Young sports buffs recovering from mononucleosis may be itching to return to the game they love. But one expert says the risk of suffering a burst spleen during play means staying on the sideline longer than some would like.

Along with extreme fatigue, sore throat, fever and swollen glands, "mono" causes spleen enlargement. That can be dangerous for athletes because the impacts and pressure on the abdomen that occur during many sports can cause the spleen to burst.

"It's rare -- occurring in less than 0.5% of patients -- but an infected athlete can rupture their spleen without warning within 21 days after symptoms begin," said Dr. Lindsay Lafferty, a primary care sports medicine physician at Penn State Health.

"The rate declines after four weeks, but ruptures have occurred up to eight weeks after an athlete first notices symptoms," she noted in a Penn State news release.

Determining the risk of a spleen rupture is challenging. Because the normal size of a spleen fluctuates, ultrasounds and CT scans won't help determine if the organ is enlarged or at risk of rupture, Lafferty said.

"Physical examination of spleen size identifies as few as 17% of cases, so deciding when the time is right for a student athlete to return to play can be complex," she explained.

For athletes, protective equipment such as flank jackets or protective braces haven't been shown to reduce the risk of spleen rupture and aren't recommended.

"Athletes may resume non-contact play and exercises that don't include lifting weights 21 days after the onset of mono if their symptoms have vanished, and they can to return to full play after 28 days," Lafferty advised.

The virus that causes mononucleosis is transmitted through saliva, so it is commonly called the "kissing disease." But mono can also be spread by sharing a glass or utensils with an infected person, or even through coughing or sneezing. It often occurs in younger people -- especially those in high school and college.

Treatment for mono includes rest, hydration and pain relief. In some cases, recovery may take months. Isolation isn't necessary, but patients are urged to avoid spreading germs by making sure they wash their hands and don't share personal items or water bottles.

28 days is not 2 months...

This sucks but it's not like he went out there and tried to get mono. Mono is known as the kissing disease because it is communicated by bodily fluids but it is so easy to spread. 

As much as I want him back in action ASAP the problem with an easily communicable disease is that if he goes back to the team still contagious he will probably get other players sick and anybody on the team or coaching staff who has never had it could end up sick. The team could deal with this for the entire season.

Believe it or not, you don't just catch it from kissing. If restaurants don't properly clean their plates and utensils ?, shared drinks, sneezing, coughing....there are numerous ways that it can be passed onto others.
