You don't know what the cap hit will be for any of them. Their cap space is $51 million WITH Rodgers current contract included. That's from Over The Cap. 

I don’t and neither do yours but I’d imagine we’d rather pay a guy like Q more now than later bc we have several 1st rousers we need to pay in a few years. And he very well could eat a huge chunk of that cap. As well as if we picked up Bectons option. That could be 35-40mill in just 2 players.

So sad that the Jets finally hit on a draft pick that is worthy of a monster extension. Boy that's much worse than just drafting an endless string of busts.

So you have no clue what Qs contract or Rodgers will look like as well if we have to pay Becton too (whether it be 5th year option or as a FA)? Got it.

You're just throwing out stuff to fit your narrative. Obviously money can be moved around. But we will no question be money tied next off season.

The Jets are going to be tight under the cap straight through 2025.  It's the price you pay to be good when you have failed multiple times at the most important position in the game.   If only Zach Wilson were an NFL caliber QB.  Unfortunately, his future lies in the XFL or in Canada.

So Q won’t get paid next year? Rodgers won’t get paid? And a Becton might not get paid?

 

Those are all real things. 

 

well it remains to be seen on becton, but yes, those are real things.  as are contract restructurings that happen all the time.  JD has shown he knows how to manage the cap and has created a lot of flexibility in the next 2 years

as it stands now, the jets are projected to haver $16MM in cap space next year and $122MM in space for 2025 (granted no one knows how rodgers contract will shake out, but these numbers account for his current contract).  somehow i'm think cj mosely isn't seeing a $17MM base salary and tomlinson isn't seeing a $12.6MM base salary unless his play seriously improves over last year.  uzomah at $8MM?  conklin at $6MM?  JMF can be restructured.  reed can be re-worked.  and so on

so yeah, there is plenty of flexibility in the 2024 and 2025 cap, considering it is over a year away

I think we gave them roughly what they wanted bc we wanted this done and over pre draft. 

Oh brother. You think the Packers didn't reduce their demands to make yesterday's trade?  News for ya:  Both teams conceded things that they didn't want to in order to consumate the trade yesterday.  It's not sensible to believe that it was JD alone who conceded and not the Packers as well,   And, IMO (no facts for proof, just logic), the Packer demands were higher 4-8 weeks ago.

It’s still a first round pick, probably our only first round pick….and it means our first draft pick, probably in round 2, is also likely to be at the back of the 2nd round, somewhere around pick 60…..I’m not commenting on the trade, just pointing out how much it will suck to sit on our hands and watch all the quality talent, in what might be a loaded draft, pass us by….I hate not playing on day 1 of the draft especially as historically draft day is the highlight of our season. 

Well that is the punishment we Jets fans will have to endure because JD has been abysmally bad with the QB position.

wow, what a unique perspective.  thank you for starting this thread.  it's amazing that no one else here thought to share their opinion on how the jets did in the trade.  not sure how this board could have missed such a big trade and no one has opined on how the jets did in the trade.

These "overpaid" takes utterly ignore and/or fail to internalize the opportunity cost. Doing nothing meant very probable continued sucking leading to the drafting and developing (ha!) of a new QB in 1-2 years. At which time guess what? Sauce/G. Wilson/Breece are up for new deals. Then you've got even less cap to play with to plug in a QB (if one is even available to begin with).

This was the time, the only time, to make this move. It had to be done. GB knew this and yes they negotiated hard. They are a well-run organization and knew they had what the Jets needed. But the cost of doing nothing for the Jets? Catastrophe. Not to mention, JD wouldn't have survived this upcoming season.

I'm very happy we have Rodgers. Not doubt. But I have to see who we draft at 15 and 43 and who goes 13,14 and 42 to really rate this.

How about you shut up until then?

um... isn't this forum the place to express our opinions, views, criticisms, thoughts, hopes and dreams?  Who made you the hall monitor?

Yeah because finding good QBs is so easy.

Of the 4 that will be drafted Thursday - 1, 2 tops will work out for the team that drafts them. Just look over the past 10 yrs

The "overpaid" crowd consists of the ones 6 months ago saying anyone but Zach Wilson and of course the bitch at everything crowd

This team is an injury away from having as worse WR core than Rodgers had last year (which I'm continually told is the reason he had his, by far, worse season as a pro)

same is true for most teams.  Yet another pfail-post from you.

Are you actually defending the last 25 years of QB choices by this team?  Ha.  And JD has been atrocious with the QB position probably moreso than all the other GMs in that time.  That, good sir, is not an opinion.  It's a fact.

Considering how the mods are merging every thought about the Rodgers trade into one gigantic thread that is hard to keep up with, it’s hard to know what has been brought up or said and what hasn’t.
