LockeJET Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Jets re-sign Moore to four-year deal February 27, 2009 A shocker: The Jets, spurned by Steelers free-agent G Chris Kemoeatu earlier in the day, have re-signed RG Brandon Moore, the Daily News has learned. Moore agreed to a four-year, $16 million contract, including $10 million in guarantees. This is a smart move by the Jets, who cut Moore yesterday because they didn't want to pay a $7 million roster bonus. They quickly came to their sense and re-signed their best run blocker, keeping their line in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Fine with me. But he wasn't worth an $8M cap hit in 2009 and then a prime setup for a holdout in 2010. Hopefully it isn't for much more than they offered Kemoeatu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Sweet so you will stop bitching? Yes. I'm done. Tannenbaum is AWESOME for getting Moore back at half the price and keeping the OLine's continunity in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 4 year 16 million... + his dead money im assuming... What dead money? The Jets never gave him a big signing bonus in the past. My numbers say that his "dead" money was under $500K. And all it means is that it comes off the cap this year instead of spreading it over the next 4 seasons. Not a lot of coin.

Sperm Edwards Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ironically, if the Jets held onto him until March 5th, they might not have been able to do this. Moore might have taken issue with the Jets hanging onto him for the first full week of FA only to then release him. Players don't like being used like chess pieces. Let's hold off on the back-patting until we see the numbers though. If it's for $6M+ per season I think this move is stupid. $4M/season or less & it's ok. The thing that you're supposed to get with 2 (non-bust) first round picks and two high-priced FA's is that you don't have to break the bank on a 5th OL'man. If we wanted to sign someone else at CB or WR and get outbid by $2M/yr because we paid Brandon Moore like a star, the team is not better off. Like I said, we'll see. Hopefully we didn't get hosed.

Sperm Edwards Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 any idea, quck thumbnail, what we signed him for compared to his prior deal ? about the same ? cheaper ? Moore's prior deal: 2009: $7M roster bonus $225,483 SB amortization $680K base salary ------------------- $7,845,483 total cap hit 2010: $158,813 SB amortization $760K base salary ------------------- $918,813 total cap hit (which I still contend was a pipe dream & he would have held out) 2011: $2M base salary $2M roster bonus $250K workout bonus -------------------- $4,250,000 total cap hit 2012: $1.75M base salary $1M roster bonus (plus a $3M escalator that he probably would have hit) $250K workout bonus --------------------- $6,000,000 total cap hit Total: 4 yrs/$19M (if he didn't hold out in 2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I take it back. The overall numbers are out there. 4 yrs, $16M with $10M guaranteed. Actually it's the pay CUT that Moore wouldn't agree to a few days ago. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's the pay CUT that Moore wouldn't agree to a few days ago. Interesting. Maybe this was the plan all along. Cut Moore and scare the crap out of him by making a play for a younger, better player and offering him less than Moore wanted. If the Jets really wanted Kemo, they could have overpaid and gotten him and still taken a smaller cap hit than Moore's original deal. For the Jets it was a no brainer. If they don't get Kemo, Moore almost has to sign with them for what they want because he knows he ain't getting more than Kemo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those first two may be solved before the weekend is out and the last in the draft. I might be more excited for this upcoming season than when you know who was traded for.
