And that kind of production would be worth 15+ million a year on the open market. Franklin-Myers is unique because he has DT size and strength (6-4 290) but has the ability to bend off the edge like a smaller man Couldnt agree more. Its not just about production, JFM can play both edge and DT, and can play the run and pass. Generally, I dont put too much stock in things like "the players will be mad that the Jets didnt play Maye", but in this particular instance, Id imagine this contract has a really positive affect on the lockerroom. By all accounts, JFM is a well-liked player and the narrative that anyone can work their way to a payday, has to help motivate the young players on the roster. Really good move by JD and as a fan, its nice to see a good player/guy get set up for life. Lets hope it leads to us stomping Atlanta. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BCJet Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2021 From Overthecap.com In total it works out to $55 million in new money with $14.815 million guaranteed at signing and $30 million guaranteed for injury . Given the early vesting date of his 2023 salary the effective full guarantee is $20.8 million. Another $4 million in performance escalators are also available to bring the max total to $59 million. The contract essentially mimics the recent Josh Sweat contract with the Eagles except this contract is four years in length versus three years for Sweat. It is the fourth year that bumps the annual value over Sweat’s. I believe that Franklin-Myers will now hold the record for the largest contract ever signing by a draft pick who was cut from his original team in a non-option year. He was originally on the Rams and was claimed by the Jets in 2019 in what has to be one of the best personnel decisions the Jets have made in the last few years. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 i think there's a timing factor here. the jets lock in jfm before qwill's new contract comes up. they can probably escape after year 2 with a low cap hit. it seems pretty high but we fans don't always see how disruptive a player is on the field. we see sacks and tackles but not how he helps the guys around him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a significant injury. The man has come back from 2 ACL tears. Once in college in 2014 and again while on the Bengals in 2018 and has looked dominant each time he returned. This is a tough one to comeback from but I believe he has the ability to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sec101row23 Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2021 When you consider that Shaq Lawson is currently on the books for $9M next season and likely will be released (with zero dead money), this new money for JFM won’t really effect the Jets cap all that much. Then add in a pretty substantial cap bump and the Jets will still have probably around $70M in cap space heading into 2022. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maye is up in the air but bringing him back isn’t a terrible idea. I’d rather the Jets go into free agency with $30-40 million in cap but less holes than $75 million hoping to plug in draft picks into key roles. Theoretically this means JD believes he has set the platform for the team and now draft picks aren’t saviors but should be given opportunities to develop and be a part of the pipeline.

ScarletKnight89 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 He's earned it. As a GM, these are the type of contracts you want to hand out. JD signed JFM after he was waived by the Rams, and he developed into a really good player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 That's one heck of a commitment to a guy with 5 career sacks prior to this season. 3 so far this season, so perhaps Saleh and JD think he has legit room for major improvement.

Premium position players: JFM, Zachapono, Carl Lawson, Quinnen Williams, AVT, Becton, Corey Davis, Bryce Huff, Bryce Hall, MC2 Agreed. What’s worth noting is that currently, after the JFM signing, there are 43 players under contract for the 2022 season. That’s a big difference compared to previous seasons when the Jets had a ton of cap room but much fewer players under contract. The one year that Maccagnan had close to $100M in cap there were only 27 players under contract. This is a much healthier position to be in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 13 hours ago, Sperm Edwards said: Franklin-Myers looks really good out there, so it’s fine, but not brilliant. He might be buying a stock at it’s high here. “Brilliant” would’ve been doing this before the season, before he got his dollars up even more. Good for JFM, but if done in the offseason I’m not sure the same extension would’ve been $10MM/yr. At least he’s not waiting until after the player’s final under-contract game had been played and then beginning extension talks, like Maccagnan. And he might have tried; we can't know all the intricacies in behind the scene. Franklin-Myers might have been betting on himself to get to this point, so he could get the pay day he did. Those numbers equate to the quality. Will it last? We'll see. To me, it always seems better getting a guy like this, who will probably produce consistently at this level, and give you a bit more than what you paid, rather than go after the big name who might be living off his own legend, cash in, and then fade into the background. The Jets have signed NUMEROUS guys like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
