Some roster cuts to be expected....


Jets Babe

Recommended Posts

Right now the Jets are in sucky cap space. Our current estimated cap space is -$16,584,125.

Some cuts that will probably happen:

Brett Favre. Cap savings of $13,000,000 if cut.

David Barrett. Cap savings of $3,710,000 if cut.

David Bowens. Cap savings of $2,600,000 if cut.

Chris Baker. Cap savings of $2,100,000 if cut.

Sione Pouha. Cap savings of $500,000 if cut.

Wayne Hunter (who the hell is this guy?). Cap savings of $627,280 if cut.

Noah Herron (who the hell is this guy?. Cap savings of $542,280 if cut.

James Dearth. Cap savings of $945,000 if cut.

There are also a couple of more guys with a savings under $500,000 if cut.

Anyways, if these cuts happen...pretty sure this puts us at about a 7.4 million surplus. I think I did that right.

Anyways, so as bad as our cap situation looks, it's not too bad. A big chunk of that cap room is Brett Favre. He's gotta go. Takes up way too much cap room.

Good stuff, JB.

Barrett, Bowens, Herron seem like sure cuts to me with Baker a possibility.

Hunter (The Famous #75!!!) stays because he's a backup G/C/T/TE.

Pouha stays because of DLine depth and Dearth stays because he's the Jets permanent long snapper.

Those lower salary guys don't save you much if anything at all. At a minimum, they'd be replaced with rookie FA's earning the league minimum - which is $310K. The minimum for a guy with two years in the league is $460K, and it goes up from there. So a guy like Pouha's a bargain.

I hope the top two guys on your list are gone ASAP, maybe Bowens too, but Baker I'd keep. Dearth doesn't get under my skin like he does some other folks, either.

Pouha will not be cut. And, we only save the $13M with Favre if he retires. If he is cut we don't save NEARLY that amount because his bonus accelerates against our 2009 cap.

We save the entire $13M either way. The Jets never paid Favre a signing bonus. I believe his prorated bonus was paid off while he was with the Packers, but if it wasn't, the Packers had to absorb the accelerated bonus on their cap last year.

Huh?

What am I missing here?

I thought his bonus was already accelerated to green bay, and he didn't have a bonus with us.

it is true. that's why tanny was a genius when we signed favre. if it works, then yayyyyy! if it didn't, then we cut favre and we save money. win-win situation for the jets.

correct me if i am mistaken, but wasnt there a stipulation in the trade with Green Bay that said we couldnt cut him or Trade him to anywhere in the NFC for 3 years?

i believe so, but i only thought it was for that year, not 3 years...

The terms of the trade that sent QB Brett Favre from Green Bay to the New York Jets are as follows: The Packers will receive at least a fourth round pick. If Favre plays 50 percent of the snaps this season, the pick becomes a third rounder; 70 percent plus a playoff berth and the Packers receive a second rounder; 80 percent and a Super Bowl appearance becomes a first round pick. The Packers also inserted a "poison pill" in the deal. If Favre were to be traded to a NFC North team by the Jets, New York would have to surrender three first-round picks to Green Bay.

The conditions also say NOTHING about cutting him. So it's fair game.

yea you are right its 1 year i just looked it up

The compensation sent to the Packers could be steep, but only if Favre pays off for the Jets in the win column. The framework of the deal, first reported by the NFL Network, is that he will cost the Jets a conditional fourth-round pick in 2009. If he takes 50 percent of the snaps this season, the Packers will get a third-round pick. At 70 percent of the snaps and if the Jets qualify for the playoffs, the Packers receive a second-rounder. If Favre takes 80 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the Super Bowl, the Packers receive a first-rounder.

If Favre retires after one year and the Packers get the Jets' first-round pick, the Packers will send the Jets a fifth-rounder in 2010. Favre must play in at least 50 percent of one playoff game for the Packers to get that compensation, the NFL Network said.

An odd - though not from the Packers' standpoint - caveat to the trade stipulates that if the Jets were to turn around and deal Favre to any NFC North team, the Jets would have to surrender three No. 1 picks to the Packers. The trade also includes provisions preventing a trade to another team if that new team were to trade him to the NFC North, the NFL Network said.

so i guess this means we can trade him to Minnesota for a 5th now without penalty lol

I agree with all the cuts except Pouha and Dearth
