Rumor: JFM to be cut, DJ Reed to be extended

[Jdeet]

Obvious moves would be restructuring JFM’s contract, but with the likely signing of Clowney at a much lower than 16 mil cap hit from JFM, it makes sense that a cut would be likely. 

DJ Reed has hinted at something upcoming and an extension, lowering his cap hit, would make the most sense. He is approximately a 16 mil cap hit, as well. 

The Jets had 5.9 mil in cap space per spotrac BEFORE the Mike Williams and Solomon Thomas contracts and the 9 million or so, needed for our draft picks, moves need to be made. 

These are the obvious 2 players who have workable contracts. If JFM’s contract is restructured, that would be ok as well, but the likeliness of an outright cut, is more possible, as the days go by without a restructure. 

We will see.

What is the source of the “rumor “ your imagination?

Reeds wife is pregnant.  
 

The jets have 2 players on the roster that can hold up against the run as a DE.   JFM and JJ. 

Very unlikely they cut JFM.

Sort of crashed out after his extension. Not Henry Anderson crashing out but back down to a marginal player at best.

Total street free agent, inexplicably given a pass by all and sundry, he was the Braxton Berrios of the D…contributes nothing but dumb penalties and should have been replaced years ago…..frustrating as hell that we hang on to JAG’s like this and let Bryce Huff walk.

addition by subtraction

Are you just, starting a rumor? Based on…nothing? Wtf is going on here?

He was never more than a marginal player

Wouldn’t it be a pretty sh**ty move cutting the guy now, two weeks into the FA period?

Clowney on deck

[slats]

I’ve been talking about this year being the year that JFM might get cut for awhile now. They fattened up Micheal Clemons to be the DT/DE hybrid, and then drafted McDonald. He has a $13.3M salary this year, with no guarantees. I’d been expecting this. If true, my guess would be that they’ve been working on him to take some sort of pay cut this whole time, and he’s been unwilling. Crappy time to hit the market. 
 
A restructure/extension for Reed makes a ton of sense. Lock him up (as it were), and get some solid cap savings this year in the process. 

[Mr. Rogers]

Sheesh. Lot of negativity about JFM in here. Yes, he's overpaid for his production, but apparently we forgot the context of his extension. At the time, the Jets hadn't developed and extended a player in YEARS, we were in the middle of a FULL rebuild with extremely little roster talent, and we needed to change the culture (especially with Q Williams extension on the horizon). JFM has been a great locker room guy and a versatile, productive player. There's a reason he's outlasted some of the other questionable contracts from that off season (Corey Davis, Carl Lawson, etc) - but at the time JD needed to retain what little home grown talent we had.

My bet is he agrees to a re structure, because his guaranteed money is already mostly in the bank and no one else will pay him. Also, the Jets still need him as cover both at DE and DT. If he won't re structure then maybe a cut is fair, but let's not hate on a good loyal player of ours! JD has his limitations but cap space ain't one of them - if Clowney wants to come, he'll make it work.

Clemons is bad at football

They also changed his position.  Always thought that was silly.  Play at a level to get a contract, then move him.

What do you think is going to happen after the draft?

[ChewyandtheJets]

If I start a rumor that I banged a young Jessica Alba will it become as true as the subject of this post.

[GangGreened]

They already lost Huff. I would tinker the defense as little as humanly possible if your trying to win a Super Bowl in 2024.

[Paradis]

I feel like i could cough in the direction of Free Agent DTs and hit 2 or 3 that could replace JFM for pennies on the dollar

Just make sure you don’t say you were doing her the the same time I was. We don’t want people to think she was easy.

Are you implying that it would be any easier to get Jessica Alba now?

That’s crazy.  There’s a rumor circulating that I once dated a young Eleanor Roosevelt … when I was in my 60s … over a century before I turned 49 this past Summer.

Finally.

A Jessica Alba thread. This is what I've been sticking around for. Knew it coming.

Obvious moves would be restructuring JFM’s contract, but with the likely signing of Clowney at a much lower than 16 mil cap hit from JFM, it makes sense that a cut would be likely. 
DJ Reed has hinted at something upcoming and an extension, lowering his cap hit, would make the most sense. He is approximately a 16 mil cap hit, as well. 
The Jets had 5.9 mil in cap space per spotrac BEFORE the Mike Williams and Solomon Thomas contracts and the 9 million or so, needed for our draft picks, moves need to be made. 
These are the obvious 2 players who have workable contracts. If JFM’s contract is restructured, that would be ok as well, but the likeliness of an outright cut, is more possible, as the days go by without a restructure. 
We will see. 

Is anyone real reporting this rumor?

Cap space knows no loyalty. He’s been paid well, more than he was worth. If Clowney can be brought in at a lower price point….

We do this every year.  They don't need $9 million in cap space to sign their draft picks.  The draft picks will replace other players on the 53 who are already counting against the cap.  They more than likely will just need around $3-$4 million in space depending on which players those rookies replace on the 53.

Worst rumor ever
