JoJoTownsell1 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Joe Willie White Shoes said: Fournette was 25 years old the year of the Super Bowl run. Big difference. Again, why does a playoff team with Alexander Mattison, Kent Nwangwu, CJ Ham and Ty Chandler in the running back room want to dump Cook? Maybe because he's "cooked?" It's amazing that in 2023 some of you still don't understand how the salary cap works nor do you bother to see what the vikings save by cutting dalvin vs what the Jets, or any other team, can pay dalvin as free agent. I wouldn't want dalvin here if the Jets were forced to keep him for 3 years at his current contract rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is $9M this year and $12-14M per going forward. What issue is there with trading for him? It saves the Vikings $2M because of his guaranteed portion of his salary. I don't think his 2024 or 2025 salaries have any guarantees. We wouldn't be locked into him as far as I know, but there is some $11.8M injury guarantee which might be what Minnesota is trying to get out from under. I guess you are talking about making his salary bonus that can be moved to future years. I am pretty sure they could redo his deal if that is what they wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s still room to sign Kwon also. Hey if JD can work his magic, restructure Rodgers, re-sign QW, bring back Kwon AND fit in Cook for the $10M or whatever....sign me up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s likely getting cut any day. So to get anything for him is a plus for MIN. So yes getting a return even if it’s a backup to Mattison for them for 2 years is better than just cutting him.

JETS SB Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 30 minutes ago, #27TheDominator said: What cap space? It's an illusion. Just like you can always create more space if you really want somebody, any cap space we have had already been spent on the Quinnen Williams extension and the reimagining of Aaron Rodgers contract. Do you think Rodgers is really going to play for $1.15M in 2023? If he does, doesn't that mean that he will take up more than a third of our cap next year? We can create more actually. I would gladly cut Davis and if we can, restructure Mosely. We will have more than enough to do what we need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want dalvin here if the Jets were forced to keep him for 3 years at his current contract rate. The Vikings save the exact same amount by cutting or trading him, seeing as we're now past June 1st. Also why would the Jets be "forced to keep him for 3 years" if trading a 7th for him? He has this much guaranteed money remaining: $0 The Jets could trade a 7th rounder for him and then - if Breece Hall starts to look good earlier than expected - cut Cook before week 1 and all they've lost is a likely late 7th round pick, with $0 cap repercussions. If they sign him as a UFA, though, they'll be on the hook for whatever new guarantees they give him under that FA contract. The only other difference is they'd have to carry him at $10.4MM through the summer instead of an artificially-lower number if void years are tacked onto an effective 1-year deal, but they could do that with renegotiations to others (e.g. Duane Brown) or further backload QW or Rodgers to keep that cut-him option open for Cook. Regardless, I don't see how they are close to finalizing any 1-year $11M deal with Cook, as papers would presumably have to be filed with the league that (in writing) permitted the Jets to negotiate with a player currently under contract with the Vikings, so there's no he-said-she-said claims after the fact if there's no transaction. Never mind signing him as a FA after getting released, the Jets wouldn't be permitted to talk to him at all about that. We'll see what happens, but this smells like bull droppings. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The only back I’d give money to is Derrick Henry. Cook is kinda cooked.

This must mean Breece is not expected to start the season That is one possibility. The other possibility is that the Jets feel that they want to limit Breece on a pitch count, so to speak, and have another stud come in when Breece is resting. Maybe they determined that one of the factors of Breece's injury has to do with overusing him. Keep him fresh, and keep him great. Bring in another stud, and keep the pressure on the opposing team. Nothing wrong with that thinking, if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out why the vikings would need to move on from cook and his current contract versus why it would it make sense for the jets to consider signing him to a one year deal. It can both be smart for the vikings to release him (cap reasons) and for the jets to sign him for just a 1 year deal. It was all in response to a poster saying why we would want a player the vikings no longer want. #context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extending Q will be the final cherry on top. IMO that cap space is being accumulated primarily for Q and Rodgers. Don't forget when Rodgers' contract is reworked, it will require more cap than he now accounts for. Additionally, if JD wants Kwon, he will be signed on the cheap.
