Source: "It won't happen" First, we have the money for Nnamdi. Now, we don't even have the money for Pool. We don't even have the money for BE. What, did our cap space just take investing advice from the Wilpons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Someone with a twitter account do me a favor and get on there and ask Manish WTF he is talking about. A week ago they were floating offering $12M to Nnamdi. That was before restructuring even. The Santonio move did NOT hurt our cap room. NO WAY Braylon commands that much. So what gives????

Smashmouth Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The time line says it all. Braylon says I want to play for the Jets and will play at discount. Holmes I wont be giving any hometown discount. Jets Sign Holmes at the elite rate of 10 mill per and Ignore Braylon... Holmes/Jets claim it was a discout LOLOLLOLL Braylon who has similar stats to Holmes gets insulted. Jets go back to Braylon with egg, mud, and sh*t on face and ask if he will re-sign Braylon says sure 10 mil per End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 if we don't have enough money to sign him, he is asking too much. signing smith and turner doesn't rule out edwards unless he wants holmes money. we always knew revis' deal would cost us one of the big 3, I just figured it would be cro nothing is done yet, just lots of negotiating through twitless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason423 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My guess is the Jets are now thinking long rather than short term and dont want to tie up big future cap space in Edwards, who is more or less a number 2 looking to be paid like a low level number 1. If the Jets believe fully in Sanchez its the right financial move because you dont want to tie up too much space in non elite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeJay....As to Braylon I am starting to think that there's something else going on here that the Jets know but we don't-YET. We know how the NFL is like a small town-everybody knows what everybody else knows. Maybe Braylon is involved in some behavior that the Jets and everybody else in the league has a bad feeling about and are steering clear of him. Maybe he's one small mis step away from a year suspension or even worse some serious legal problems. SOMETHING is going on with this guy-no way should Roy Williams get a contract before a Braylon Edwards. You know what.? I'm going to trust the Jets on this one-even though BE is my favorite player. We're going to find out something soon enough. All I know is this: 'I' am not qualified to run an NFL franchise-I'll let Mike T do that-he hasn't let us down yet...

serphnx Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I think this will drop his asking price and at the right contract he'll be brought back. Probably around $4M a year with cap friendly structures so that cutting him isn't a problem if things go wrong. This guy just doesn't seem to learn is the problem. He is always blaming somebody else. At some point you've got to realize you constantly are finding yourself in trouble and maybe you ought to stay at home at night or something.

I really wanted Braylon back and am still a little annoyed they're telling us it's "money-related" when they were going after Aso and were clearing up cap space. If they were low-balling Aso all this time and weren't willing to give him what the Eagles were offering him at least, i'll be pissed. Although, like you said, it's possible there's something more not being revealed because a bunch of teams needing a WR are passing on him. I don't know the details but it's possible that he's facing some serious jail time if he screws up again. Would you feel comfortable paying him like a low level number 1 receiver? Do you trust Braylon not to screw up during his active probation period? I'm trying to rationalize what has been a very disappointing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just nuts I know-none of us do but right now we HAVE a damn good #2 WR and his name is Jerricho Cotchery and he's healthy now.

We basically signed Santonio and Eric Smith back after failing on Aso and are saying we don't want Braylon back but have no second WR on the radar.

We have to learn to read between the lines, and this is all I'm seeing. Its too bad, but he's a knucklehead. So, ultimately I trust the front office. I wonder if Colts fans sit and freak out day in and day out that their team hasn't done anything on the 4th day of free agency... because the Colts almost never make a splash, and seem to be a pretty good team...

Bx Jet Fan Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Maybe Mr T and Rex were willing to put us in cap hell next year for a shot at the SuperBowl this year with Nnamdi but it would have crippled our team from next year on. Although the money might "be" there now, spending it would be foolish. We wrote Holmes contract where the first year hit is 2.5mil. How many of those creative contracts do we have? Eventually you have to take the cap hit and pay the guy or cut him. Maybe they are just going to clear some space to keep our core going forward. Just a guess. We will see in the next few days I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
