For a while there, you claimed that no team spent less. As I said, when the team finally has players that are worth paying, they will do so. We all saw what happens when you overpay for garbage (Sanchez). Thank God they did not make the same mistake with Adams or Darnold. Hopefully they won't over pay our very own JAG safety, the overrated Maye. I know you want to pay the garbage more than they are worth just so you can say the Jets aren't cheap. No logic at all to your position, even though you've relented that about a quarter of the league spends less. First get the players. Then spend. Don't spend on garbage. Jets have had garbage. There has been no reason to spend on them other than to please some annoying fans by keeping garbage on the roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry and Johnnu Smith are now the 3rd/4th highest paid TEs in the NFL. JD doesn't seem like the type to give "good" TEs salaries that make them the 2 of the highest paid in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other jet who gets paid or may get paid, I gotta hear about "fleecing" and "overpaying" like im at my accountants office rather then a fan forum.

He doesn’t fit the athletic profile of what they’re now looking for. Maye is exactly the type of jets draft pick the past 10 year they’d overpay because they couldn’t draft anyone worth paying on offense or someone who could actually rush the passer.

However, that's the exact kind of deal Maye and his agent would likely reject. They'd probably either prefer a 1 or 2 year deal so they can double dip, OR a 5-year deal to give him security. Douglas would want something in the middle. Hence probably a big reason why nothing has likely gotten done yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow teams like New Orleans and Kansas City can do whatever they want with the salary cap Carolina is carrying 40 million of dead cap and still handing out fifth year options to Darnold as a "cheap bet" The Jets were like, there's no ticket sales in 2020? Let's take it out of the roster. They were like 90 mil under last year by the time FA hit and they are still top 3 in cap space in this very thread people are hoping they don't pay Maye so they can pay Becton other teams don't make these Sophie's choices they pay good players and then if they need more cap space, pay them more I'm not sure when the last time the Jets have restructured a vet to give him more money.

undertow Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I think they want to keep Maye but similar to Adams Maye and his agents are overvaluing him. Which will probably lead to him being traded following a Twitter tirade. I probably would have traded him before free agency and the draft.

Maybe the new breed of Jets fans hate paying all players. A decade is indeed a long time. I haven't been paying close enough attention to the Millenials (who I am one of, I believe) to be able to establish that one way or the other. Thus, even though your argument is that Jets fans have ALWAYS been against paying players, you'd end up correct in the end through backdoor means.

When you suck, the next best thing to success is accumulating resources, in the hopes that those resources eventually end the suck. The psychology of it makes perfect sense, even if its really sad. At least its better than learned helplessness, where the person (fan) believes there's no hope. Hope is better than no hope in these instances, every time.

rex-n-effect Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Maye is a good player and seems like a good teammate. He should be re-signed at a value commensurate to the value he brings the team if possible. Maye isn't a game changer on the field but he is a good foundational player who does his job reasonably well. If he wants game changing salary he's going to have to get it somewhere else. Saleh's defense is about versatility. If they overpay for one position they will end up having to overpay for everybody which was one of the problems the team faced in 2011 and 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
