Jets To Get Roughly $5 Million To Sign Rookies
It has been determined by John Clayton of ESPN that the Jets will get exactly $4,903,030 to sign all of their rookies this year. Every team has a different rookie cap. Herm Edwards will have the most money to spend, as his Chiefs got over $8 million to spend, what with their two first round picks, and four more of those came in the top 100 overall.
So will 5 million bucks be enough for the Jets to sign all of the rookies they have coming out of rookie minicamp? We’ll have to wait and see if they decide to dump some more UDFA’s as I assume the draftees will the be the first ones in line to receive contracts. How many players do you think the Jets will have to release? Also, you can name some notable ones you think will be released in the comments (i.e. Danny Woodhead).

Bent says: Yeah, it’s just for the draftees, not UDFAs which will be signed out of the regular cap money. No need to release anyone, unless its to bring someone else in (to stay below the limit of $80m).
Otherwise, how would you be able to pick up rookies halfway through the season without a crystal ball to see how much money would need to be left over?
Don’t worry, they will usually pay the lower picks first so that they know what they have left for Gholston, with any shortfall made up in incentives and roster bonuses as bill says above.

is it too early to start looking at salary cap casualties from other teams for the jets to sign at CB?

Not to be a broken record but . . . for the umpteenth time a post by “Mack Rosenberg”, whoever the hell that is, that is just off point and wrong.

Bent, I don’t think the lower picks count against the cap. IIRC, only approximately the top 53 salaries count. The others are “free” (IOW they come out of McCain mongerers’ pocket).
Also, IIRC, the number of salaries counting changes.

Whats up Mack, we appreciate you man. David Barrett is going to be cut to save the team roughly four million dollars this offseason. DT Marcus Tubbs would be a great pickup after June 1st. It looks like the Seahawks are going to cut him and he is stout and at 6’3 320 pounds we could play him at DE on run plays. Depth at the D-line is always good.

They’re not gonna cut barrett – as bad as he is, he’s one of the better options across from revis
The slotting system give each draft position an amount, the total of which is your 4.9M for the Jets. The Jets can sweeten the deal with incentives and delayed bonuses, but everybody gets a cut. So, yes, there is enough to sign all the rookies.
