All NFL teams are a cash cow because of the TV contract. I doubt a big market team like the Jets who sellout their home games are cash strapped. The Johnson's are just cheap owners.

maddenboy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) yes, but i'm not just talking about current income. The bonus spread is a consideration. The bonus doesnt come out of this year's cap, its amortized. But I have to pay it all either now, or in the future, or in installments. If I dont have enuf in the bank to pay you $22MM by writing you a check today, it doesnt matter how much I'm likely to make between now and this date next year. The owner might have to cough up the cash out of his own pocket, not just from the Team bank account. Especially if the team is paying multiple signing bonuses in one year. Or especially if the owner has to liquidate assets to cover it. Pegula can afford it. Shad Khan can. Mark Davis, notsomuch. I'm saying maybe the Jests ownership notsomuch.

Malazan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 After Wilson's 1st practice today, Joe Douglas was overheard asking, "Can you un-sign a player? Is there like a 3 day rule or something?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The fact that in today's NFL it took into training camp at all is a horrible sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I think this is going to end badly for the Jets. This kid is a long way from NFL ready, and there is absolutely no backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cash/ but i dont think they've paid it yet. I think they agreed to pay it within 15 days or 30 days or something waaaaay sooner than 2022. Does sportrac already count it. And I still think its amortized, so the Jests' books should reflect 1/5 of the bonus, more or less depending on accounting. And still, there's a difference between the Jests' bank account and the Owner's bank account. Just because the $22MM (or even 1/5 of it) counts against the Jests' books, doesnt mean that's where the whole $22MM cash paid-in-full is coming from. Pegula can afford it. Shad Khan can. Mark Davis, notsomuch. I'm saying maybe the Jests ownership notsomuch. Edited July 30, 2021 by maddenboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's on Spotrac's books already. Signing bonus amortization is for cap hits not for cash. NY Jets books are their books not the owners that is true. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/cash/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man if that’s true and if Douglas was referring to Wilson and if that gets back to Wilson, if I were him I would be calling my agent and seeing if I can find a way to pull an Eli Manning and get the hell out of dodge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed my ass off when the Jets took him. They even reported he wasn’t NFL ready let alone not being worth a first round pick. I’d say this kid might be Paxton lynch & EJ Manuel 2.0 Edited August 1, 2021 by BuffaloBills1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
