Bye bye Avery?

Possibly....but not so fast.

We still have injury concerns with not just Avery but with Mosley and Cashman.  I like having both Neville Hewitt and Burgess back under contract, but this is still an uncertain group if only for health reasons.  What if Mosley isn't the same player when he returns but Williamson recovers 100%?

Maybe Douglas takes some mercy on us poor shut-ins and makes a trade or two today.

I don’t think Avery can be cut until he passes. Physical. Otherwise the Jets have to give him an injury settlement (that’s why Quincy is here).

Unlike Enunwa, I don't think Williamson has any guaranteed money remaining, for injury or otherwise.

Exactly.  People talk about Tru's contract being a problem. 

I would argue Enunwa's is the worst we've signed. WTF???

Good point, but I'm still not 100% sure AW gets cut.  The first question will be whether he's still a fit for what Gregg Williams wants to do....I think he is.  The second question will be what's the tradeoff between cutting him vs. keeping him (or trading him)?  If the Jets don't need to free the Cap space (and right now they don't) then why not just hold onto him and let him play out 2020.  Perhaps he becomes a piece of a Draft Day trade??  If the Jets want to save money I'd think Brian Winters is the next to go, but he may still need to pass a Physical too, right?

I’m hoping there’s a trade for Williamson and not a cut. Cutting him doesn’t give us much besides cap space we’re not using.

Given he missed all of last season with a significant injury I'm not sure you'd get more than a bag of kicking tees trading him right now.  Better to hold him unless you need the cap space for a major signing or cut him with no dead money once camp starts and it's clear his play has dropped off...

There is no way we're cutting Avery Williamson. He's a damn good player, hell there are a few guys playing very well at LB that have had ACL surgeries.

Ah ok got ya. That I didn't realize. 

The fact that we have been able to do what we have AND remain even on the comp equation is honestly amazing.  I'm confident JD is factoring that in with what he's doing.  This guy is coming out of the gate in a positive way. 

Think about it. There are FREE draft picks out there for the taking if we just place an emphasis on it.  Amazing!  Imagine that.  lol

Indeed lol. That excites me for the future, seriously. 

Some people dont care cause they are late round, but they are basically like currency to help you move up and down on the draft, especially now that they are able to be traded. 

Isnt there a date where some our vets stop counting as losing compensatory FAs?
