Elijah Moore is only “available” because he couldn’t get along with and didn’t respect the Jets former OC… Who is MLF’s brother.

I just can’t see the Jets giving up on him with a new coordinator nor MLF wanting to inherit that specific issue.

Cory Davis is the WR the Jets are moving on from. That he hasn’t already been released indicates they may think they can trade him.

I personally don’t want him.

But his name comes up a lot.

I’m all on Jeremy Ruckert. 😛

Garafolo says the Lazard price tag came up over the past few days, because it was south of $10M/year before other teams got involved.

Just to give concrete evidence that everything lupe said on this subject is wrong

Number seems right for Lazard to
Me. Good for him. Average receiver gets average money.

does it? it tells me the Jets need a big body receiver that wins contested balls mostly inside the hash marks in traffic, teaming him up with Wilson should give Rodgers some options

$11 million per puts him tied for 29th. His 50% guaranteed is a higher percent than Davante Adams.

you give Rodgers to much credit, quit believing everything you read from news sources, I bet the Jets had Lazard on there list just as a lot of other teams did, just as teams did with Scantling last year.

So weird.

A salary dump on a starter a year after signing them... basically no compensation; a 5th round comp pick is just a year or maybe a round earlier than they'd get if he left next year.

I guess their cap is tighter than I noticed, but huh.

Only one way to read a stat like that, Lazard must be better than Adams!

Bradbury got less overall, but more guaranteed and a shorter deal. At age 30, he's all about the for- sure money

Important note.

One thing not enough people talk about are the tradeoffs of guaranteed contracts. Contracts with more guarantees are going to be shorter and often have lower total figures and thus appear to be lower annually.

If players are looking to get more guarantees, they have to understand the tradeoffs that will take place during that transition.
