@JGrayJets JJ would be specialty 9-wide LDE on passing downs, and on obvious run defense, JFM can go back outside replacing Huff and we'd rotate a big body DT inside.
@JGrayJets Honestly, I think moving JFM back inside along Quinnen makes for the scariest interior DL in the NFL. Clemons has a well rounded DE build & skill set and could sit at LDE alongside JFM, while Huff mans RDE alongside Quinnen. That's a scary line.
@KMTtwitt@RichCimini Stupid take. Spend $100m out of spite and potentially lose draft picks instead of take a 5th now & 3rd next year to clear the cost? Silly. Personally, I'm down for it. I still don't want Rodgers.
@JCaporoso IDL, LB, and S are all very deep this draft, especially for our scheme. Moro Ojomo, Kobie Turner, Dante Stills, Jonah Tavai, Devonnsha Maxwell are all IOLs that can be rotational players right away. At LB, Dorian Williams or SirVocea Dennis would be SAM in base 4-3 from game 1
@KMTtwitt@RichCimini So tell me again where the leverage lies? As a lifelong Jets fan, I'd rather see them get Matt Ryan than pay anything higher than a 5th for Rodgers. He's far too expensive for a 40-year old QB coming off his worst year.
@KMTtwitt@RichCimini Rodgers has a $59,465,000 Bonus that becomes guaranteed on Sept 7th - however, if traded before Sept 7th it defers with him. If he retires or is traded Sept 8th or after, GB is on the hook for all of it, plus the pro-rated $40,313,570 still owed. That's $99,778,570 total dead.
@TommyVerno @BuffaloJetFan So you're saying they'd be fine blowing up their franchise for 2 years and have to rebuild in 2025? Because the QB they're desperate to unload won't come with a 1st round pick. GTFO. Keep him then. My team's always sucked. It's nothing new. Enjoy the freefall.
@historyrock_ Elvis stole songs from little known blues artists and marketed it to white girls. MJ was an original who evolved the Motown sound. It's MJ all day, 7 days a week, and twice on Sunday.
@TommyVerno @BuffaloJetFan If they're holding out to trade him post June 1st, they'll have to send picks with him because they have zero leverage at that point. He's not going to play for GB, and he'll spite retire and crush the team's cap for 2 years.
@TommyVerno @BuffaloJetFan No, they just defer it to 2024. They're still on the hook for it. And if they haven't traded him by the 1st game, his $59M guarantee kicks in and they're on the hook for $100M across 2 years.
@Justin4ocho It would be $15.8M in 2023 and $24.5M in 2024. Assuming they trade him after June 1st, and don't wait until they have to exercise his option. If they don't move him and he starts the season on GB and retires after the 1st game, GB would be on the hook for $99M in dead cap.
@Justin4ocho If they play this wrong, and piss him off, I wouldn't put it past him to spite them and retire when it hurts GB the most. GB would be unable to get under the cap for 2023, lose draft picks via league penalties, and still have a $60M+ hit in 2024 they might not get out from.
@the_captain66 @BuffaloJetFan And there also weren't ANY cap implications in the Montana trade. So there's that as well.
No way Rodgers is worth a 1st. If it was 2018, then yeah, he's worth it. But it's 2023.
@the_captain66 @BuffaloJetFan Dude, Montana, the GOAT, when he was traded only commanded one 1st and KC got back a 3rd. He was 36 when he was traded, not 39 going into his year 40 season. You're crazy.
@emesola I'm still perturbed that we passed on Carr after the contract he signed. $7M Cap Hit in 2023, and $35M in 2024, and a manageable cap hit in 2025 if necessary. I don't see how we missed that...
@emesola I think it's all hype to try and drive the price up. I don't see how they have any leverage. If I were Joe Douglass, I'd go sign Matt Ryan to a $4M, $2M SB 1-year contract right now just to show them we've got a veteran of staff if they want to play hardball.
