rick34125 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d817cb285&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true After cutting Faneca, Jets still owe veteran $5.25 million By Jason La Canfora | NFL.com The Jets released former Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca over the weekend. The 12-year veteran was due to make $7.5 million in 2010, with $5.25 million guaranteed. Alan Faneca, G Age: 33 Height: 6-5 Weight: 305 College: Louisiana State Experience: 12 seasons Unlike many guaranteed portions of contracts, there is no offset clause in Faneca's deal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. He gets the full $5.25 million, and, when Faneca inevitably signs his next deal as a free agent, none of that money counts against that total. When it's all said and done, the veteran could well end up earning over $10 million this season. Interestingly, another prominent player released this season despite a massive guaranteed payment -- Jake Delhomme, with nearly $14 million guaranteed by the Panthers -- also had no offset in his contract, allowing him to make about $20 million total this season. They have something else in common as well: Delhomme and Faneca are both represented by the same agency, Priority Sports. Nice work on their part, for sure. 205 Comments | 3 Recommendations | E-mail Is he that bad he's not even worth keeping when and you still gotta pay him 5.2 mil? I was wondering about the offset clause. Thanks for the post. BTW, it's a win-win situation for everyone involved. The Jets save $2.25 million and get younger on the O-line with more upside, Faneca gets more money than he ever could if he stayed with the jets, and some team gets a decent OG with leadership skills to help them this year.

slats Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Faneca was in decline when the Jets picked him up from the Steelers. He's about to drop into steep decline. Watch where he goes next year. When he's not lined up between the best center in football and a better than average LT, he'll be exposed as the liability he is. This is a $5.25M addition by subtraction.

spjets Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Cutting him to save 2 million dollars was retarded, this move is a fail! Atleast keep him on to mentor the young O-line men. Now we have a rookie and a 2nd year lineman starting. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73andMe Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Sorry to see Faneca go. They should have kept him for another year. Now he could sign with the Giants and not have to move, etc. I wish him the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Atleast keep him on to mentor the young O-line men. Now we have a rookie and a 2nd year lineman starting. Faneca would have only embraced the role of "mentor" if he were the starter, and even then, he's never realistically earned that reputation as a team leader during the course of his career. Had Faneca come back, he would have had to earn his stater role, and I highly doubt he would have wanted to teach some young guys to take his job. We have Mangold, Woody, and Ferguson to take Ducasse, Slauson and Turner under their wings. Not to mention, the best OL coach in the NFL, Callahan.

Any time a team is willing to pay a guy 5 million plus not to play for them in AN UNCAPPED YEAR, it tells you all you need to know about whether that team thinks he can still play or not.

Green DNA Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I trust Tanny & Rex on football moves. That's without question. But cutting Faneca is not a football move. It's strictly a financial move and that's why I think it's stupid. It doesn't make them better in 2010 and doesn't help the team in the future. They are paying him over $5m this year not to be on the team, that tells me that this is purely a football move. If they were counting pennies, they would never have cut him given the guaranted cash.

Green DNA Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 If it isn't a money move why not keep him as a backup? Let someone else beat him out in camp? Wouldn't be a bad guy to have around for depth. Do you seriously believe that the 25 time Pro-Bowler is going to sit quietly and be a backup? If he's not starting he has to be gone.
