Jets have 100 million to spend. He isn’t going to Miami.
maybe not at first. cap stuff can be back loaded, but at the end of the day it would hurt who ever signs him the last couple of years of the contract. that guaranteed money will eventually hurt the cap. look at Pittsburg with ABs contract and us with ryan and suhs contracts
Maybe 5 years ago. $17 million is now a standard for the above average to just under elite players hitting UFA at most non QB positions. Elite non QBs are making from 17 to 20 million.
QB money is now $25+ million.

Hope that doesn't stop the Fins FO from driving up the price the jests pay on him.
I like the idea of Flowers. But this is another Suh moment for us. Walk away.
If he wants to come here, then let's see some understanding in the contract money that represents he will trade off AAV for guaranteed money.
We don't need another non-QB dictating our team's salary cap again.
We have to stop "needing" players so much that we force ourselves to pay big money in the wrong moments for players we haven't grown.
This is not the play here.
If we are paying big money, it needs to go to X or LT. NO ONE ELSE.
It is time to do things differently.
you are right but at the end of a lot of the big contracts is where you start to get in troubleThe thing is the cap goes up every year and good personnel executives can manage that. We signed a big name FA every season for a few years when Dawn Aponte was here and we were never in cap trouble. That started when T-Baum took over and would restructure everything he could see. If you trust your cap people, this isn’t even a thing worth worrying about.
I don’t think we go there. Flores knows the scheme was a larger factor than Flowers talent. This will be a massive FA overpay for somebody.
Well, he’s not elite. So those numbers are ridiculous
