Jets gonna Jet. Tough break though. On the bright side he is 1-0 as the qb for the Jets, #undefeated lol.

    So he’s basically an extra QB coach they paid $75M for. But if he makes Zach competent, maybe it would be worth it.

    I’m a Bils fan and I’m embarrassed that Zach was the most successful QB on the field last night.

      That’s a good point. An expensive qb coach but hey if he can turn Zach around… I’m not a Jets fan either. Just here for the chaos.

          Maybe the NFL is different from the NHL, but players on LTIR in the NHL don’t count towards the cap. I have to imagine there’s something similar in the NFL.

            Nope. Anything you pay (except one year veteran minimum deals that get an exception to be counted at a slightly lower number) hits the cap.

            You can manipulate timing with contract structure, but there is no way to pay a player without it counting to the salary cap

              There is always the Don Muhlbach option. Rodgers retires, it lowers the cap hit to just this year for a prorated amount, they get to re-sign him as a coach/assistant, and they might get a compensatory pick out of it.
