Sources: The #Jets don’t plan to tender WR John Metchie III as an RFA, making him a free agent.The former Alabama standout had 29 catches for 256 yards and 2 TDs — while starting 7 games with the Jets after coming over in a trade. An intriguing FA, Metchie is just 25 years old

just to temper everyones' expectations on free agency:

Gambo yesterday did a segment on the Cards cap situation by starting out saying that the release of Kyler is "really, really bad for their cap" and that what is there will go quickly because the #3 pick is paid a lot. Plus you need a reserve for IR during the season....... "They just cant fit Malik Willis in at $20mm per season -- there isnt room."

I don't know what I was more annoyed at:

Gambo's complete misunderstanding of how the cap works,

or,

his transparent attempt to cover for the organization when it doesn't really spend much on free agents.

Hes wrong, Cards can clear plenty of cap space with releases.

Hes wrong, Cards can clear plenty of cap space with releases.

The Cowboys just cleared 66 mill in cap space by restructuring.

Cap space is a joke.

Biadasz was cut by the #Commanders after being set to make $8.3M. Now he lands in LA with a raise in a deal done by

Probably gets it done pretty quickly.
Outrageously high for the player. But not for a starting QB... short term keeps it easy to recover from. High guarantee makes it appealing to the player.

He likely won't get that much... but if I'm a GM of a team that needs a short term QB1...I have the value figured out before he arrives and would drop something like this in front of him right away...like, over tacos and Modelo, and make sure he never gets a chance to see what anyone else is offering.


Speculation is kinda entertaining when it ain't my money.
If it was Chucks money...

Okay, 10 grand per start...100 bucks per snap...10 dollars per passing yard and 20 per rushing yard...passing TD is $1000...rushing TD is 2000...
Get a win...it's an additional 25k per start...
50k for each WR you send to the pro bowl...
100k for each pro bowl RB...
1 million for a league leading WR... 2 mill for a league leading RB...

Stay safe out there!

You had me at Tacos but the Modelo was smart move

 

[Goldfield]

Monti is a loser so...

This is my last offseason giving him the chance to prove he’s not

 

[Goldfield]

So Kyler is good enough to provide value to a Super Bowl team/coach but not the Cardinals?

It’s the contract

 

[Goldfield]

If Kyler didn't have such an asinine contract he might be plan B if they were unsuccessful in signing Malik Willis. Who knows what plan B is now, Jacoby. Jimmy G., Cousins, etc.?!?
Probably a 90% chance Kyler is released imo.

Or just sign Willis no need for plan B my plan B is drafting Ty Simpson mid first round to back up Willis.

 

[Goldfield]

This feels absolutely NUTS to me.

Yup but all the money is crazy

If we sign Pierce we need to trade away either MHJ or Wilson, Pierce is going to get paid north of 25 million a year to be a WR1. Somebody in that room is going to be relegated to a 60% snap share as the WR3.

Don’t worry…we aren’t signing Pierce.

 

[The6]

Tua to be cut. Miami 99 mil in dead money.

 

[slanidrac16]

I’m surprised there’s not more talk about Kyler going to the Steelers.

Hes wrong, Cards can clear plenty of cap space with releases.

he was wrong on a number of things about the Cards cap situation

but it was the shameless covering for a bad GM / Org that made me crazy
