His base was slashed to $2.4 million, reducing his chances of becoming a cap casualty. Interesting. I was fairly certain he was going to be a cap casualty. I guess this prevents that from happening. Which is good because as much as Barrett gets blasted, they don't have a whole lot of depth at the position. They have some youth, but the jury is still out on some of those guys.

slats Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 He still makes too much but, yeah, it's not like the Jets are loaded at CB. I still have no faith at all in Miller. C'mon Ahmad Carroll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have caps issues going into next year, a down side of the Brett, Pace etc signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is very surprising. Obviously Barrett wants to remain a Jet or just knows he wouldn't even see $2 million a year out on the Free Agent market at the end of August. Either way we should be happy. We'll probably now be keeping a veteran Corner for $1.2 million less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case they wanted to make a move as teams cut players, If Carroll and, Lowery continue to play well he could still get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
