Sheldon Richardson 5th year option exercised (but not Milliner)

Well, I really hope we either keep one of Mo or Shelden here long term.

Obviously prefer Mo to Shelden's attitude but Sheldon is a big time player. But I know he wants to get paid too.



Enjoy while this lasts fans, our d-line is getting to expensive to keep

 

I just hope Milliner steps up this year. His performance could really solidify the defense, and it would be unexpected.

 

Maccagnan calm, soft voice:

Now Dee, we are going to go ahead and decline your option, okay? We are going to go do our due diligence. No need to worry. You are going to go out there, play like we know you can and hopefully we will bring you back as a free agent, okay? Okay, great.

 

I agree. It's a shame we lost Harrison. Loved Snacks. By far one of the strongest run-stuffing players within the league. It's disheartening to think we could've featured a 4 man front of Wilkerson, Harrison, Richardson & Williams for years to come. Offenses can not run the ball against that D-Line & opposing QB's would've been under heavy stress throughout the entire game. Unfortunately we've already lost Harrison and appears as if we're not going to keep/pay Wilkerson long term. Then as you mentioned Sheldon Richardson is going to want a big time contract as well. I love Revis along with everything he does for our defense but i would've much rather kept the defensive-line nucleus of Wilkerson, Harrison & Richardson together long-term (if possible) rather than paying an aging Revis his monster contract. I really do not like the thought of losing D.Harrison. Snacks dominated the L.O.S. After losing Harrison all i can say is thankfully Williams fell to us during last years draft but damn do i dislike the idea of losing Harrison this offseason and potentially losing Mo within the near future.

 

Milliner has been a complete waste of a pick. He had a 4-5 game stretch at the end of 2013 where he looked somewhat competent and the last 2 seasons on extended vacation. Number 9 pick and he's probably battling his doppleganger (Mcdougal) for the 6th CB slot. I know nothing is guaranteed with the draft, but my god, this team manages to get so little out of some of the players taken in the 2nd - 4th rounds its ridiculous.

 

In 2019 we might well have Fill in the blank at LE, Deon Simon at NT, Leonard Williams at 3T and Lorenzo Mauldin at RE, with Jordan Jenkins at Sam, Fill in the blank at Mike and Darron Lee at Will.

 

So what happens if Dee has a good season as a starting CB? We can't extend him prior to the end of the season? He will automatically be a free agent at the end of the season?

 

He would be a FA.

But we can extend him at any point

 

im still shocked milliner is on the team. he should have been cut long ago

 

revis isnt the problem, he is gone after this year as well,.

there is just no way you can sign wilkerson to what he wants.

 

think of it this way. If we keep wilk at say 14 mil a year like he wants, plus rich making 8 mil next year that means we have 22mil plus our 6th overall pick last year all tied up in the DE position only. I Just can't see a world where we keep williams, rich, and wilk all long term. If we don't trade wilk this year, he'll likely be gone next year

 

He has taken too much of our money to date. Let him see if someone else wants him. The point was not to pay him that large chunk of 5th year money, I think. Could they re sign him for lower if they want?

 

The Jets couldn't guarantee Milliner's salary next year because the guarantee kicks in if he's injured and unable to play by the time the guarantee would normally kick in at the beginning of the league year. Given his injury history you can't give him a $11.9M guarantee.

I'm sure they'd have given him the guarantee and then cut him before it came due if they weren't bound to pay him if he got hurt in between. Think about how hard it is to certify a player who ended the previous season on IR between the end of the season and the beginning of the next league year.

 

If he'd been a mid or late round pick, he'd be out of the league by now. But a top-10 overall pick gets every benefit of the doubt. GMs are terrified of seeing those players go off and be stars on other teams, giving them away for nothing. Also because of his signing bonus and guaranteed money, we would have no cap savings if we cut him. If we let him stay for one last year, even if he gets injured in training camp, we might get a comp pick for him.

Since he was highly rated coming into the draft, some GMs will be interested in seeing what he can do in training camp and the preseason.

 

Yup, anyone picked in the top 10 will get every chance possible to succeed. just look at gholston and aaron maybin.

 

.....and then Milliner sprained his wrist shaking Maccagnan's hand after the meeting.

 

Goodbye to Dee the slack jawed yokle.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

 

....because it would injure your tail bone and you'd be on IRR again
