they are eating that either way and really getting no value for his contract right now. He’s a Rolls Royce hood ornament on a 2003 Chrysler 300.
They could get several high draft picks on rookie contracts for a few dollars more per year.They're planning on having a rookie QB next year & beyond that who will need someone to throw the ball to.

Nothing would destroy the acquiring teams cap hit this year. They both have very low base salaries for 2025.
But their current teams can't withstand the cap hit caused by trading them away. Both contracts were structured with the early cap years being low, but the penalty for trading or releasing the player severe.
Miami has a bigger problem than Waddle. They're stuck with Tua through next season with dead cap hits this year & next in the $100 million range.

The are 0-7 with Wilson. Keeping him for his entire contract won't change that--he's useless on that team. There is no foreseeable future where the Jets will dominate the Bills in the division.
When you are the worst team in the NFL, you unload your best player for as many assets as possible to dig yourself out of a deep pit. Trading him in the division won't harm the Jets even a little bit. But that organization from ownership on down through the FO and coaching staff are just too stupid to continue.
Not when your dead cap hit is $40 million.

I've always wondered why the NBA allows LeBron to do commercials for DraftKings gambling site.
At least the NFL wouldn't allow an active player to do gambling ads.

You are missing the biggest ones. Walsh and Parcells.
But not in terms of winning. Sean Payton, Tom Coughlin, and Belichick all won Super Bowls - 9 in total. And Payton certainly considers himself a Parcells guy if you have any doubts (even though he didn’t start with Parcells). In terms of actual winning, Parcells remains the ultimate boss.
I also believe Parcells is the best coach of the post-merger NFL. Most of the top coaches did it with one team. Parcells turned around every team he coached. He even turned around the Dolphins while in the front office.

Ah the old "teams around the NFL are lining up to send their best players to Buffalo" routine.
It's the same everywhere. I often listen to WFAN from NY & the NYC fans think the local teams should have every superstar either signing as a free agent or getting traded to a NYC team.

I would love it if the Bills could trade for Garrett Wilson but that isn't happening for the same reason the Dolphins won't trade Waddle here.
That reason isn't because they're in the same division. The reason neither can be traded is because the cap hit to the team trading them would destroy each teams ability to field a competitive roster (not like either team has one now😄).

“their own young guy”…turned out to be Justin Fields! That alone is a fireable Offense. He’s a huge bust and you bring him in to be your starter??the old guy Rodgers threw 28 TDs on that team last year and he’s tied for 4th with 14 after 6 games on the Steelers.
this is how you rebuild? With Fields and Taylor as your QBs? Now they can overdraft another QB next year to throw into that toilet?
Ok
I never said they're doing the rebuild right, just that they knew they had a long leash and could try with a young veteran over an old one & if he failed, they could plan on drafting their next QB. I called them idiots in a prior post because they tied themselves to Fields for 2 years due to the contract structure & cap hits. They should have been able to get Fields on a 1-year deal with incentives-I doubt there was a lot of competition to be his 3rd team in 3 years after his market value when he was traded to Pittsburgh was a 6th round pick. Personally, I hope they mess it up again & draft another Zach Wilson, but until a team has their guy right at QB, they're always in a rebuild to some extent. Guys on the 1st year of a team that won 5 games the season before they arrived don't want a guy on his last legs, delaying the inevitable. For the Jets to acquire 37-year-old Cousins at 0-7 with his contract, would be a fireable offense even worse than the fact that Field will count at least $22 million on the cap next year.

I'm surprised they haven't made a move on Anthony Richardson by now. I imagine that the Colts wouldn't be asking for much and it was obvious early on (two years ago) that Fields wasn't the guy. Maybe they were always planning on tanking this year.
Aside from the fact that Richardson is on injured reserve right now and can't come back for 4 weeks, he's worse than Fields.
backup Anthony Richardson is on injured reserve and cannot return until Week 12 at the earliest. He suffered an orbital fracture in a freak accident in pregame warmups ahead of Week 6.

what are the Jets rebuilding? That starts with a QB--look wha the jets have done to that position the past 5 years--even the past 3 years. there's no evidence they are in a rebuilding mode.
Cousins would be the best QB they could conjure up over the net 3 years...
New GM and coach in their 1st year want a long term QB, not someone from prior management. When a new management team comes in, you can't look at any prior years as any evidence of what their plan is.. They want their own young guy as their QB, not some guy in his 30s. There have to be better options in the draft than Cousins, especially when you consider the salary cap. Cousins is 37 years old, if they wanted to wheel out an old guy, they would have kept Rodgers.

On a serious note, if the Jets really are interested in tanking/maximizing draft picks, I wonder what it would take to pry Wilson away. Hopefully Beane is at least exploring that possibility.
It would take the NFL to end the salary cap because he just signed an extension which makes him virtually impossible to trade. Stop dreaming impossible dreams.
-
The Jets are idiots. I just looked up his contract. He has $10 million guaranteed for next year along with 4 more years of his prorated $15 million signing bonus, which means if they cut him his dead cap hit is $22 million next year. If they keep him his base salary of $20 million plus his prorated signing bonus cap hit of $3 million has a cap hit of $23 million. So it's a huge cap hit either way with only a $1 million difference between keeping or cutting. Even if they renegotiate his full salary down to the $10 million guarantee, they'd still have a cap hit of $13 million for a useless player occupying a roster spot. If they renegotiate it down to that figure, the best thing for them to do is IR him (get Jimmy Spags to break his leg?) and free up the roster spot.

I think Arch Manning makes it known that he will never play for the Jets, the Jets trade the #1 overall pick, and they draft a few defensive players and sign Kirk Cousins.
No rebuilding team wants Kirk Cousins. The whole reason the Jets dumped Rodgers was they wanted a young QB. They figured they'd give Fields a shot & if he bombed they would draft high enough to get their next QB.

The new strength and conditioning guy has done a hell of a job.
If Pete Carroll can be a head coach at 74, Rusty Jones needs to come out of retirement at 72 & come back to Buffalo.

Seems to me there was a similar controversy with the Jets just a couple of years back. Tank for a better draft pick as opposed to professionals try to win games. I might be mistaken as to the team.
They won a meaningless game late in the season that cost them Trevor Lawrence & the settled for Zach Wilson at #2 in a bad QB draft year. SF traded up for Trey Lance at #3 right after the Jets & at #11 the Bears traded up for Justin Fields.
-
If they play Tyrod, they might win some games that will cost them the top pick. The last time the Jets won a meaningless game they drafted #2 & picked Zach Wilson, who Miami just demoted to 3rd string. If the Jets want a decent future, tank the season elevate Brady Cook from the practice squad & play the undrafted rookie.

Justin Fields was a 1st round pick from Ohio State & he is the worst starting QB in the NFL (if he's still considered a starter after Sunday's benching at halftime). College teams are loaded with future accountants & bartenders. The few NFL caliber players on a college team are playing against those future accountants & bartenders. That's why there are 1st round busts because you never know how a player will perform with & against teams with all NFL caliber players.

After watching Mac Jones run the SF offense, it reconfirms my thoughts that one of the NFL's worst contracts was Brock Purdy's extension. It looks like the only QB who doesn't look good in that offense is Trey Lance.
