Howard is decent and cheap. Jets need to get bigger and stronger in between the tackles which means bye bye Slauson and probably Moore and hello Warmack and either Warford or Bailey in the later rounds.

With 6 million going to rookies and 10 positions to fill with 6 million left. The worst part is we still are not in great shape in 2014 especially with deferring money this yr.

My guess is they convert some of Sanchez, Holmes and Cromartie guarantees to signing bonuses so that can spread it out over more years... Should be able to get another $6mm to $8mm from that...

Yup.

This is a rebuilding year, a reworking of ALL football operations. As good as LL, YB, DK and others are or may be, unless said player is 26 or less DO NOT RESIGN them. If the player in 3 years will be past their prime, peace out, trade them no exceptions. I'd rather the girl tell me she's not interested beforehand, then after I buy her a drink and I get a kiss on the cheek as she leaves with her friends. accept the truth, if we make any noise in 2013/14 it will be "Walshian" coaching to put us there

We are in rebuilding mode.

I don't have the numbers off the top of my head but trading Revis still results in a subsantial cap hit.

Whatever it takes to get back to acceptable line play.
