Jets off season Checklist:
Upgrade OL–Check
Upgrade DL–Check
Upgrade LB–Check
Fix Coles’ issues–Check
Resign Rhodes–Check
Bring in deep threat WR–Draft?
Get CB to pair with Revis–Draft?
Draft or sign FA QB–waiting–I still think this is for depth, I have faith in KC

So far so good! Can’t wait for the draft!

Thanks, Bent, That kind of cap info is great to know. I suppose if Drob goes to the Broncos (or gets cut), that gives us a good few mil to play with over the course of training camp. Did Tanny do a great job, or what??

NYC – No I had taken the money earmarked for the draft picks into account. Theoretically, with no other moves, they could sign all their draft picks and then have about 3-4 million available…which I think is more than Robertson could get on the open market.

Great move! The recipe for a successful franchise is #1. Sign your own best players, 2. Add key FAs without breaking the bank, 3. Draft smart. We seem to be doing all three.

Rhodes should have made the pro bowl in 2006 and probably 2007, his stats were significantly better than John Lynch’s who made it that year.

What a great way to start the day, this is terrific!!

Bent – when you gave the cap figures – likely over by 4-5m, but we get 8.4m back when Drob is dealt with, is that including or excluding the money we’ll need to deal with draftees? What I mean is, do we need the 3.4m (8.4m-5m) to sign our picks or has that money been put aside?

Does everyone think that this move precludes any possibility of resigning Drob? He’s have to be restructured of course, but he won’t play for peanuts.

Not much else to add to the above. Great news. Seemed to come out of nowhere. What a relief and I couldn’t be much happier.

Doesn’t it seem that Tangini are learning from their prior mistakes. Instead of allowing Coles or Rhodes to be a distraction heading into camp, (as Kendall was last season) they locked up these players before the draft. Also, I think the signing of Fanaca will prove to be an unbelievable boost to the entire offense, but particularly with the development of D’Brick and Mangold.

Am I the only fan that wants to see D-Rob stay on the team? Let’s see what he can do when he isn’t constantly facing double teams.

Tannenbaum must be given his due, not tagged with the organization’s history. He’s not turning any corner, and this resigning is evidence of it. He’s been very consistent in managing the cap, looking to keep the future unclouded with heavy cap numbers to contend with. The guy’s good!
