chrisfaceoff Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Just saw this on Rotoworld, I guess Cimini put it out there this morning: ESPN's Rich Cimini reports the Jets are showing interest in free agent Byron Jones. This doesn't come as a surprise for the CB-needy Jets. Trumaine Johnson's $12 million dead money hit likely locks him in New York for another season, but that shouldn't stop the Jets from making a run at Jones. Jones has also been linked to the Raiders and Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR24 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Maybe if we miss out on Conklin,Thuney or Williams? At this point we've been linked to every stud lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTamland Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Why would we be locked in on the dead money hit. the guy Johnson is trash. We save at least a few million by cutting. Good riddance. Wtf. Cut this guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Trumaine’s cap hit is accelerated bonus. Cutting him saves the Johnsons $11mm in cash. Why is he still on the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he still on the team? Something to do with the new CBA —- They’ll be able to spread the cap hit over two seasons if the new CBA is ratified. Otherwise it’ll all hit this year. My guess, the day the CBA is signed he’s gone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 No way Johnson is on the team. The Jets save a load of cash, and around $3M in net cap space, by cutting him. He's gone, as soon as the CBA pictures becomes clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand what the rush would be to cut him, there's not advantage to dumping his worthless ass today. In fact his biggest contribution to the team might be to stay on the roster a few more days/weeks until the new CBA is ratified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new CBA is agreed, they will not be able to recharacterize how they cut him. He gets cut regardless, basically right before the deadline in his contract.
