I would be happy to give up the third rounder to be honest.
You say this but what if Reddick is asking for a 4 year contract mostly guarenteed?We have plenty of money to make this happen it would depend on what the Jets want.

I was thinking this too. If the point of bringing in a player is that you have a need for him, why would you wait until after the portion of the regular season where you would need him the most?That would be a terrible strategy, considering he could help us be better and make the playoffs more of a possibility. But, yes, this feels like a passive Monti strategy.

We have a lot of 1st and 2nd year players to resign by year 3 and 4 of that contract - Do you really want to be paying a 33 year old Reddick 20 million dollars and not have the ability to resign a couple of our young players.
All I am saying is you need to be damn sure you can potentially win the title before you make this move because it will have negative future impact.
It's his last big contract. With what guys have been getting I wouldn't be surprised if Reddick agent opened negotiations at 3yrs 90mil.Are you saying it’s a cap issue or an owner issue? Cap wise a Reddick extension doesn’t affect important players needing deals in 2-3 years. I’d be shocked if he’s holding out over a totally unreasonable contract.

But I think 3yrs/78mil would lock him up with around 45mil guaranteed...
For our purposes...maybe add two void years...front load some salary to take most of the hit now. Like 9m bonus 27m salary in the first year...which of course would be reduced because of missed games... then salaries of 12m in years 2 and 3 with 21m cap hit each year...then 2 years of 9m dead money

The draft pick shouldn’t be an issue. He’s likely going for a 4th at best.It’s the draft pick. Not thinking as much about the salary implications.
