NYJCAP2 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The CBA only allows a team to designate two players for a post June 1 cut. This usually offers the biggest savings. Cimini speculated high profile names being cut for cap flexibility. With that who are you cutting and why? Replacements, go! Numbers from overthecap.

Popular Post Barry McCockinner Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 tomlinson & uzomah for me. I'm not the biggest Mosely fan but at least he's useful and a respected leader. I'm taking at least one G/C in the draft. Uzomah doesn't need to be replaced he should have been demoted before the injury but our CS is clueless with offensive personnel decisions. they say the best ability is availability but it can't be your only ability - looking at you tomlinson. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jack Straw Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 Mosley is worth no more than $5 million but is at least "good" when he's on the field. Uzomah is a clown and Tomlinson a human turnstile, so they're my picks. JFM is a good player and should be on the roster. The Jets' run defense is the weak link, and he's part of the solution and not the problem. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 JFM and Uzomah. Uzomah is a no brainer for me. I think JFM is a better player than Tomlinson by a good margin, but he’s not worth what we are paying and have several players in his mold that I think could fill in adequately. Tomlinson, who has not been great, is at least available, which needs to be considered with our OL history. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 No reason not to cut all 4. The only one that even gives me pause is Tomlinson because we don't actually have much behind him. Assuming we address OG between FA and the draft, he can go. JFM is productive, but if we could keep Huff by cutting him, I will run with the scissors up to JD's desk. The other two can go. They were invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I am looking forward to the end of Tomlinson's contract, we need OL. We are better positioned to deal with the loss of JFM along the defensive front 7 than Tomlinson on the OL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would cut Uzomah, putting him down as one of the 2 post June 1st cuts doesn't save us a hell of a lot of money. Mosely, while I love the guy and respect him, saves us $17M bucks. He is on the down swing of his career in my opinion. Either he takes a cut in pay, or I cut him and Tomlinson, saving us a whooping $30,000,000.00 dollars!!!! Cutting Uzomah after June 1st only saves the Jets an additional $2M I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilhermezmc Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 For the first 3 guys you try to reestructure or tell'em to take a paycut, uzomah is the most cutable player in recent jet history. Cutting CJ Mosley would make a huge hole that we don't really have the money or picks to fill, I hate Laken but he's the only OL that can stay healthy as for JFM he's easily replaceable for a veteran that would make 1/4 of what we're paying him.

Exactly.. do you just cut Uzomah before June 1 and save more with another bloated salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimini speculated high profile names being cut for cap flexibility. With that who are you cutting and why? Replacements, go! Numbers from overthecap. I don't obsess over dead cap on the current vs next year's cap, since it's the same amount & you can just move others' hits around instead with the same net result, but since you asked, this one is easy: Post-6/1 = Mosley + Tomlinson. Clears $30MM between them. Pre-6/1 = Uzomah. Clears his preposterous $8MM salary Restructure JFM, ideally with a pay cut in exchange for guarantee, which he shouldn't balk at like CJM did over this past summer. Just time it right, where you don't wait until there's no one else on the roster to fill his role, so he calls our bluff. No one else is paying Franklin-Myers $14MM for the season after a 3.5-sack season where he gets 1 solo and 1 assisted tackle per game, and he probably knows it (or anyway, his agent would). He's not Richard Seymour, but he's a good player and after a pay cut the premium isn't that bad over his veteran replacement, as the team seeks to sift McDonald in more without being outright forced to do so, ready or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams have a performer like Tomlinson on their OL. You can be a good offensive line with Tomlinson, but he’s gotta be your 5th best. I won't go nuts if they cut him, but if they do that leaves 3 empty spots on the starting OL depth chart to fill this off-season. That’s presuming they are penciling in Tippmann, which I think they will. Adding 3 starting caliber players in one offseason is a lot easier said than done.

derp Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Tomlinson and Uzomah should not be on the roster next year. Uzomah doesn't see the field and it should be remarkably easy to find a guard less bad than Tomlinson for $8-13M a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
