We may just end up trading away an asset for what may ultimately be 5 games. Just a lot of uncertainty for this season. Juju or Robinson are probably the only guys I'd make an exception for.

We can fairly easily bring him back. If someone else wants him that badly? Have at it, I guess? He's 29 and has missed 10 games over the last 3 seasons. I mean it would delay his cut by a year and we'd have to pay him $150k but as soon as the new league year hits you'd be able to cut him. For the $150k savings I think I'd have gambled on him not opting out and giving us some security/depth until just before week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 According to Adam Schefter and several other reporters the Jets are going to release long time guard Brian Winters. The move had been speculated due to Winters salary, but he was expected to compete for a starting job.’ Winters, who is 29 years old, was the longest tenured Jet. He was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2013 NFL Draft and played in 89 games, starting 79 for the team. A surprise release: Jets are cutting last season’s starting right guard Brian Winters, per source. As a starting guard, Winters is not expected to be without a job very long. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 2, 2020 Jets clear $7.28 million off 2020 cap by cutting Brian Winters, who had $7M non-guaranteed base salary (+up to $500K in per-game roster bonuses) in final year of contract. Winters, who was rehabbing from shoulder surgery, was the longest tenured Jet (7 seasons… 79 starts) — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) August 2, 2020 Winters was the longest-tenured Jets player and one of the last holdovers from the Rex Ryan era. Quincy Enunwa is the 1 one left now and he is out for the season. Jordan Jenkins and Steve McLendon, who both got here in 2016, are longest-tenured on active roster. #nyj — Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) August 2, 2020 Former GM John Idzik selected Winters and he was one of the last players on the Jets who was a holdover from the Rex Ryan era. Only Quincy Enunwa remains on the team from the Idzik/Ryan days and he has been ruled out for the season. Of the players on the active roster, linebacker Jordan Jenkins and defensive tackle Steve McLendon, who both joined the Jets in 2016, are now the longest-tenured players. The Jets signed Winters to a four-year, $29 million contract in January 2017. The deal had no more guaranteed money on it, so the Jets will not carry a dead money charge this season for Winters.

Jetster Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I love how the media put this move as headline. Brian Winters was once AVERAGE & the last 3 years? BELOW AVERAGE! The only reason this guy got a new contract was because WE DIDNT HAVE ANYONE ELSE! The Jets have been the worst drafting NFL team for YEARS! Jamal was a very good player but a safety at #6 when you need a QB? Watson should have been the choice although there were Jet fans here pining for Mahomes. That would have saved us from trading away a bunch of picks for Darnold. Cutting Winters is a blip on the NFL screen. And he’ll sign to another team, fans will read about his toughness & grit and in the 3rd game he’ll shred his shoulder again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perriman showed flashes of what he’s capable of last year but his career for the most part has been underwhelming. Looking at JD's free agency moves I see a common theme that was something that Mac clearly didnt value which is why he missed so often - JD signed guys who need to keep playing well in order to make money whereas Mac signed guys like Trumaine who the second they put their name to paper, had no motivation whatsoever to keep playing hard. Its difficult to debate who gives 110% and who doesnt and Im not a huge fan of trying to judge the character of players who we have never met, but its a fact that football is a very hard and physical game that takes a ton of motivation to play at a high level. Sure there are guys who love the game and go all out regardless of contract, but there are also guys who do this for the money and when their team is 2-5 and they have $35+ million guaranteed, they stop doing the little things that matter. Give me as many motivated Greg Van Roten's on this team over completely unmotivated Trumaine Johnson/ Mo Wilkerson's regardless of talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Quote During the Dolphins game, a miscommunication between the offensive line and quarterback Sam Darnold resulted in an errant shotgun snap that flew past the quarterback. The play resulted in a safety for Miami. After the play, offensive lineman Brian Winters was shown repeatedly chewing out Darnold. The stress of playing for an awful and poorly coached football team must have finally pushed Winters to a breaking point, as he somehow thought it was appropriate to publicly yell at his quarterback. The hypocrisy of Winters’ antics is beyond shocking. The Jets offensive line this year has arguably been one of the worst in NFL history. https://thejetpress.com/2020/06/22/summer-must-haves-new-york-jets-fan/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Love this post. To your point, some on this site idolize a guy like John Abraham, who asked out of playoff games . Winters played through things that would have put most guys on IR, and he’s a bad guy. I’d wager a small fortune that there is nothing but respect in our locker room for the leadership, toughness and professionalism that Winters showed. Contrast that for the silence of the team when the douche bag got traded last week. This team will miss him. Be healthy, Brian, and from a 42 year ticket holder, thank you.

As usual, the vitriol is getting directed at the wrong person. Blame Macc for giving him the contract he got. Not Brian Winters for signing it. Winters was a fairly solid 3rd round pick who was the longest-tenured Jet before he got cut. The fact that he was longest-tenured also spoke to how bad the roster was thanks to Macc. Sadly we can't fire Macc twice. I'd like to fire him every day and jettison him into the Sun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
