Rhg1084 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Smart not to load up the cap this year when we’re not ready to compete. I’d hope that the next couple of years were ready to bring in some big time WRs, edge rushers, or CBs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhg1084 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Jets and Jags both have all the cap space and draft picks for the next few years. Prime rebuild candidates. Jets should have the franchise QB in place (hopefully). I’d think the Jets should be ready to turn this thing around quicker than Jax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 i suppose adams is scratching his head wondering why the jets didn't match his contract demands. the cap does nothing if it's not spent but then there also has to be players that are worth spending it on. plus darnold is getting close to his renegotiation . he has two season to show enough so he can get the watson money. the bottom line is that 60 million in cap space can disappear pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point in having all this cap space for this year especially if it would’ve been another 1 year deal coming off books next year.

Clowney at $20 million for 1 year and an extra 4th in 2022 wasn't winning us beans in 2020. An extra $20 million next year could actually make a huge difference for this team. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be teams doing restructurings and cuts to get under the cap, while teams like the Jets will be able to take advantage in what will be a buyers' market. This is why I'm willing to have patience this year. If Joe D hit on more than he missed in the draft and free agency, next off season is going to be very exciting with all those picks and cap space. Next season could actually be exciting, too! This one's all about taking that step forward; Darnold, protected by the likes of Becton, McGovern, and Fant, throwing to Perriman and Mims. If that's working out, the team should be expected to really compete next year. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's working out, the team should be expected to really compete next year. This is the critical point. The FA class next year doesn't look particularly good. Allen Robinson is about the only top WR I see on the list. Maybe Sammy Watkins or Kenny Stills if they have a good season this year. Beyond that, there are a few names but it's not a particularly bountiful crop. However, if teams that are maxxed out on cap now suddenly find themselves $20MM over, there will be either fire-sale trades or outright cuts of good starters and teams like the Jags, Jets, Colts (yes, they currently have the most space in 2021) and *ugh* Patriots will be in the best position to capitalize. The Eagle and Saints are already $30M over the cap for 2021. ATL, KC and HOU are going to be tight and I'm not sure if HOU's # represents the Watson deal yet. The Saints have a lot of good players that they are going to have to make some hard choices on in particular. It's a little of a bummer that all of the top teams in terms of space are AFC, but I would expect some opportunities to flip a pick for a solid starter will appear depending on how much the cap is impacted.

Clowney got more than the $12 million that was first reported. This looks highly incentivized, but it's a good deal for Clowney after going unsigned through training camp. Clowney had only three sacks in an injury-filled 2019, but he gives Tennessee a quality edge rusher. With seven days before the start of the season, Clowney isn't a lock to be active in Week 1.
