Adoni Beast Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Would be great to get rid of Lazard and get back Corey Davis. We would still need to add another WR or two in free agency / draft but this would be a nice start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Here is a twist. It is possible the Jets will resign Corey Davis to new contract once he is re-instated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my guess is the reason he was released is otherwise his prior contract takes over where it left off. IOW it’s either release him or have him take up $10MM on the cap immediately upon being reinstated. That’s my guess, anyway, but admittedly it’s just a guess. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 They promised him all sorts of things when he was first signed. They dumped him down the depth chart when they pandered to the QB by signing lazard. Rather than take a pay cut he nicely retired for the team. He wants to play now and the Jets feel they have to not screw him over and thus release him. He goes to another team and away from the clown circus known as the jets offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he wants to trade Lazard, but free Corey Davis… 🤔 There’s a difference from what you’re claiming and smart business relativity.

I dislike his arrogance and lack of commitment to winning like Brady but he cries when he isn’t mentioned with Brady. Hell I I EVEN AGREE WITH HIM ON SOME OF HIS OFF THE FEILD TAKES BUT THIS IS ABOUT FOOTBALL AND IM A JETS FAN, HES HURT US MORE THAN HES HELPED US TO THIS POINT! This isn’t hatred , this is me calling a spade a spade period. Nah man...AR has done zero to hurt us, he got hurt like any other player can. The asinine personnel moves were the gm and coaches fault.

ChewyandtheJets Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 You guys all seem to be missing the point. He wants to come back. That means his contract which was around $11 million per year would reactivate as of the lost year never happened. If this were Terrell Owens the Jets would have welcomed him back. If this were Cory Davis the Jets would or should say thanks for letting us out of that sh*tty contract you suck. That’s what they did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewyandtheJets Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 As a follow up to my last point since I’m getting trashed on a flight right now the Jets have asked Cory David if he can convince Allen Lazard to implement the Cory Davis plan. Heard they offered 20% of Lazards salary if he could convince him to retire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It would have been nice if the Jets could have worked out a deal with Davis for his return. Instead the team that thought about cutting Davis last year because we had too many WRs cuts him so he can play with another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him for jumping out of the bog of stench.Wish him the best ... I think the relationship just soured due to the frustration because of the ineptitude around him. He was probably just weighing the risk reward of playing for this team and decided it was time to retire or move on.Would have been a solid WR 2.5-3Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Seems pretty coincidental that Lazard is reported on the trading block the same day Davis decides to be reinstated. I don’t know what this will ultimately mean for the jets. I suppose that one thought is that he’s going to replace Lazard. In any case the jets hold his rights and he can possibly be traded.

If a player retires with time left on their contract and then decides to return to the league later, they don’t become a free agent. Contracts usually count based on a player’s seasons, not just the calendar years. So if the player doesn’t play, they don’t add a season to their contract. This means they would still be under the same team’s control if they decide to return unless that team chooses to cut them. He is now a free agent because the Jets decided to relinquish their rights to him. If they hadn't he very much would have been under contract.

If the Jets didn't relinquish the rights to him yesterday, what were Corey Davis's options if he wanted to play football? I believe he would have been obligated to play for the Jets under his old contract. Just because there was no guaranteed money doesn't mean anything other than the Jets could then cut him/release him and not owe him a thing. Asking @Sperm Edwards for clarification.
