Of the players you named Jenkins is the one i’m worried about replacing. Its not easy finding a guy who does what he does. Time to start drafting big NT’s….

Eddie,

In Revis We Trust

JR – By the time they have to pay those guys, some other big contracts (Faneca, Woody, Jenkins, Thomas, Ellis etc) will be coming to an end, so the tricky part is not resigning all our talent…it’s replacing those guys with cheaper talent. This could be with draft picks yet to be made, but some of the holes could be filled by guys like Turner, DeVito, Westerman, Pitoitua, Slauson.

The contracts are staggered in such a way that I don’t see a particular year where they’re likely to run out of money. The uncapped year (if it happens) may enable them to clear some more space by advancing salary. If it’s possible, you know they’ll be all over it.

Jesus Revis,
No need to get technical bro, he is the best in the business, hands down. He is the Second Coming

You said it from Day One and not only have you convinced me, but I am now an devoted apostle and follower.

Sorry but I do not like this trade

Has anyone raised the possibility the Jets gave up too much? Not in the sense that trading a special team star and a decent, but no longer important WR in Stuckey compares in value to a top 10 receiver when focused + picks. The issue is how desperate was Mangini to rid himself of this perpetual malcontent and underachiever. These deals frequently come down to poker and while Mr. T is good, I’m not sure he doesn’t give more than he has to. It never seems that Belichek gives squat for guys who produce. If you give up a 3 & a 5 also, get back a 6. Funny guys show up in the 6th round – just a thought

Does this mean the T. Jones will not be a Jet next year? He seems to be the most likely to go in order to make room to keep Edwards.

The Jets have also worked very hard to find undrafted free agents, castoff players and practice squad players to develop for depth. See Ratliff, Turner, Devito, Trusnik, Elam, Clowney, Carroll, etc. This gives them a lot more flexibility in how to use their mid-round picks. It seems to me that they realized a couple of years ago that the team really needed to upgrade the talent at the key positions and get some guys with elite skills. Then they targeted the specific guys they wanted. They signed key FAs and in the draft they traded up for Revis, they traded up for Harris, they traded up for Keller, they traded up for Sanchez, they traded up for Shonne Green, etc. In those trades they gave up a lot of 3-6 round picks but so what. They have found other ways to get the depth players for the roster. Of course the Edwards trade has risks but what big move doesn’t. Think about what the roster looked like 2 or 3 years ago (or even just at the end of last season) and look at it now. The transformation has been pretty incredible. And all of it was done while staying under the salary cap. If you look at the big picture, it’s hard to be too critical. They have made a lot more good moves than bad ones.
