Jets give D-lineman with 6 career starts $55m

[Jerome007]

Well, it seems then it's a normal, decent contract then. Sadly, not the Jets being desperate and bursting their salary cap. Oh well. Bills will beat them regardless.

Ah, interesting. Not desperate at all, then. 

 

I think the Jets are beginning to look up a bit, unfortunately. I like Salah.

 

I do too. I think Saleh can coach defense. Whether he is one of those coordinators who never makes the jump to Head Coach there is no way of knowing yet, but he can coach defense. He has that completely undertalented Jets group lacking in star names playing above their station on that side of the ball - top half of the league in yards and point. The roster is still a long way off challenging though.

We have the Jets in 5 weeks.  I thought it would be a laugher but now I'm concerned.

Ya I guess not everyone can be a day 1 starter, but that kind of contract would normally be reserved for after sustained success.  He had 5 career sacks over 2 seasons (plus a season on IR).  Jumping to a $55m extension after a good 4 game start to a season reeks of desperation.

 

 

For a platoon guy, he's got a fair amount of experience in three uninjured years.

 

30% of the defensive snaps in 2018 in L.A. Injured in 2019. 44% of the D snaps last year with the Jets, and 67% this year.

 

Wow, strip-sack of Brady in the 2018 Super Bowl. 13 QB hits in 15 games last year.

 

Doesn't seem like a bad move, unfortunately.

That works for me.

This guy is a winner in my book.

4 year extension with $30.2m guaranteed.  Jets continue their storied tradition of falling in love hard and fast with D-linemen giving John Franklin-Meyers a big payday for notching 3 sacks in 4 games.

 

Hopefully he turns out to be a flash in the pan and hampers their salary cap for the next few years.  Probably gets traded next offseason after the honeymoon wears off and the gravity of playing for New Jersey sinks in.

This dude was a monster against Tennessee.  In the backfield almost play.  Not sure what he’s done outside of the game but for one game - he looked to be awesome

[FilthyBeast]

Like others mentioned, this is a Beane type of deal that's not as lavish as it looks on the surface and worth a shot on lesser know player who could be a real find.

It helps to be playing next to Quinnen Williams who looks like he is turning into a fine player.

Sounds like a smart move to give someone a big payday in their eyes before he could have demanded a huge payday with 13 more games of that type of play.

I actually don't think Q has been that great so far this year. Not bad as such but not playing at his 2020 standard. He was inarguably the best player on the Jets last season.

At this point so far....., in your opinion which of the top 2 DT drafted that year between Q and Oliver has been better so far and has more upside?

Ed was much better as a rookie, Q was much better last year. Both up and down this year. I had Ed graded slightly higher at draft time but I think they were my #2 and #3 players so it was close. 

[wppete]

Never hear of him. 

[billsfan89]

The structure of the deal as other posters have mentioned basically makes it a one year deal with an option to pick up the rest as they can get out of the contract after 2022 with a small dead cap hit. It is the type of deal that benefits both sides. It looks foolish on the surface but digging into the details it is a sensible deal.

[Mr. WEO]

We traded Milano??

Really? From what I have seen he is really coming around. 

 

Hey, as long as the Bills win it's all cool!!!!!!!

Thanks to the pandemic, Johnson and Johnson is rife with cash.  Might as well spread it around.
