Jennings released, shocker
Suh reconstructs his contract.

What's are cap looking like now?

Now fix the O-line. Draft defense.
-
Assuming it is, that's 20 mil in restructure, 10 mil in carry over and another 5 mil on Jennings, so possibly 35 mil to work with right now. -

I don't get why we would bring in Mario Williams with his salary - has Tannenblow not learned anything. We are NYJ 2.0
Not trying to be negative just realistic. If we theoretically, cut Wake and resind the tag we can gain another 10 but then have to replace those players with ?????. If salary dictates skill level and we cut salary by 1/2 to gain the cap room, ummm............
Surrounding Suh with less talent seems counter intuitive -
Should left suh's contract alone. There were moves to be made elsewhere to clear space without handcuffing the team's future. They essentially pushed this year's number to 2018. They could have stayed where they were and freed up to 20 million without this. They are making win-now moves when they haven't won **** in 8 years. The future looks bleak, particularly if vernon and Miller get overpaid here.

As for Mario, he will likely not get a big contract. He is at a buy-low point right now. Doubt we spend significantly on him, but at a good price, he can definitely be an asset - especially if we end up losing Vernon.

Cameron in renegotiation's....Better happen
-
Earl Mitchell saves us 2.5mm if we release him too, also Grimes could get us 9mm....plenty of ways to get space opened up.
Excited for free agency. Don't think we'll make huge splashes, but lots of mid-sized signings that will plump up our roster and give us depth. -
This is all assuming that they pushed the max on Suh's contract, that has been unreleased, they may have just tweaked it, and it may be put on next years cap which was Suhs lowest remaining year, we'll see. -

DJ, I posted it in club, but Suh's 2016 cap number is now under 11 million, down from 28. We took that 18 million and spread it out over 2017-2020. Next year, his cap hit will be 19, and then around 25 the rest of the time. From a practical standpoint, it would now essentially be meaningless to cut him through 2019, as the team would see no relief. He's here for the long haul. While his deal could be redone again, I think its unlikely, as that would make the number in the later years even bigger. If he's still at the top of his game come 2018 or so, then I suppose that there could be an extension, but since he'll be 32 at the start of the 2019 season, that's far from a given.

These were obvious and, most likely, agreed upon moves for Suh. You can replace Jennings with in house candidates like Matt Hazel, who we have decided to keep as an ERFA. Landry, Parker, Stills, Hazel and a cheap veteran/draft pick. In other words, Jennings, replacement better not cost too much, because it is unnecessary.
Cameron restructuring is probably best for both sides. He would not make nearly as much this offseason, if we were to release him, and Miami probably can't replace his talent for anything cheaper than what they agree upon. Win-win for both.
I want to see the draft focus on defense with free agency fixing our o-line as much as we possibly can. Or vice versa. Either way, those are our hot spots. WR, QB, RB (assuming Miller stays), TE are all satisfied. Focus on the o-line, and defense across the board.Pandarilla, Unlucky 13 and Silverphin like this.
