Jetfan13 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 According to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger, New York Jets Cornerback Drew Coleman re-worked his contract last week, agent Alan Herman said today. Coleman signed his one-year, restricted free agent tender worth $1.176 million in April. But last week, the team and his agent re-negotiated for him to earn $850,000 this year, all fully guaranteed, with a $220,000 signing bonus up front. The Jets save money at the position which is important because they are locked in negotiations with All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to read too much into it, but the fact that this deal was done just last week could mean the Jets and Revis really are close to an agreement.

Bleedin Green Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I would have liked us to cut ties with Coleman if we could better. Agreed, but there's something to be said for the fact that despite long odds from day one, he's continued to stick around through multiple head coaches. If nothing else, until the Jets find someone clearly better at the position I have no doubt Westhoff has some say in him sticking around given his contributions on special teams. Given the new contract, he obviously just got himself guaranteed against getting cut, so we might as well get used to him for at least one more year.

BroadwayJ667 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 many fans don't like him, but it seems that the coaching staff is ok with how he plays. Really when looking for a fourth or a fifth corner it would be tough to find anything better. There just isn't that much out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 He knows the difference between Mangold and Revis, but not Coleman and Revis? And if he thought the guaranteed money sounded like too much for Revis, then I don't even want to think about what it means if Coleman is getting that kind of money.

Larz Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 this is tanny's favorite strategy in exchange for a lower cap number, the player gets more money guaranteed I'm sure he's tried it on revis, revis just won't budge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Might have something to do with him not willing to come off the $16/$160. Exactly. He probably has tried it, but Revis probably won't come down from that 16m per demand. Its hard to negotiate guaranteed when the two sides cant work out total compensation. The other problem is that Revis wants the 16m per AND a hefty portion guaranteed. I think Tanny knows this so the "take 12m with a hefty guarantee" wouldnt do it necessarily.

Don't see what the big deal is here and don't think that $100K is affecting negotiations with other players. It doesn't affect negiotiating with other players. Jenny is making a crazy leap in logic by suggesting it. This has everything to do with Coleman wanted to be in the roster. His $1 million tender wasn't guaranteed. The Jets could cut him and he gets nothing. So, he decided to take a paycut and get it all guaranteed which helps him make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman agreed to guaranteed money for TOTAL COMPENSATION. Get it? His entire contract is guaranteed now. He took less to stay with the team.

If the Jets cut him and nobody else picked him up, he would not see a single cent. Plus, he also got himself a nice few hundred grand to pocket immediately. Not a bad days work.

The funny thing about it is I'm pretty sure the Jets just wiped out the entirety of what they could give out as fully guaranteed salary this year with the Coleman deal. Go figure.

Players don't get paid until the 1st weekend of the season. They get weekly checks after that. Coleman makes about $47,000 a week. So rather than wait another 3 weeks for that 1st $47K, he got $220,000 right now. Pretty good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
