It just strikes me kind of funny that they won't re up his deal. They keep saying it is on the back burner blah,blah blah. Could they be holding off on a new deal because he is more valuable with one year left on his rookie deal to a new team? Just throwing this out there. I would hate to see him traded to move up for a QB. He is a young stud who is only going to get better.  |

I seriously doubt that.
We needed to spend money and we needed to bring good players in.
Mo can't go anywhere ATM, we had more pressing needs. He'll get his. He's not goin anywhere he just needs to be patient.

The Jets have him for 2015 and can franchise tag him for 2016 if they choose. That is good leverage for the Jets. The front office has also been pretty busy this past month acquiring a lot of new and high-priced talent so it's not surprising that Mo Wilkerson would be a lower priority (from a timing standpoint) right now. I believe the Jets absolutely intend to retain him and get a new, longterm deal done but it may not be very soon. We'll see.
One other small X factor that can't be ignored is the Draft. In less than 3 weeks the Jets will have several new, young players and then they'll reassess the roster and see where their investments need to be made. The single best player in the Draft is DLineman Leonard Williams from USC. Although it's HIGHLY unlikely that he slips to #6 the fact of the matter is that IF Williams is there then the Jets simply have to take him as the best available player. At that point we're looking at 3 incredible talents on DLine...Mo, Sheldon Richardson and Williams. And, whether Williams becomes a Jet or not we can't forget that the Jets just exercised their team option for Coples. If you include Coples as a DLineman (TBD in the Bowles defense) and look at the potential big payday for Richardson in two years then the Jets could have a lot of money tied up on the DLine.
I think the bottom line is that we shouldn't worry about a trade of Mo anytime soon (although stranger things have happened). We should just chalk up the quietness on his extension to the fact that the front office is completely focused on the Draft right now and just emerged from an extremely busy FA period. From a timing standpoint, Mo's deal is back burner.

in all honesty wilk is making quite a bit as it is. granted he should be paid higher given his ability and ranking with others but if he can bring a high first rounder plus, then the jets would be foolish not to at least think about it. and contracturally, wilk can be the jets property for two more seasons. they'll work out a deal, just not as soon as wilk wants.

I think if the Jets fall in love with Winston or Mariota they will need to make a move up. Including Wilkerson in a deal to do that will definitively lower the draft picks we'll have to include in that deal. Coples would move into his spot on the DL and I for one think he would do a very good job there. I think there is more of a chance that this happens them people would like to think. It could also be one reason why we brought back Douzable after signing two DE's prior to that. Keeping those options open is never a bad thing.

I don't see any circumstance that the Jets take Leonard Williams. You can't spend that much money on the D-Line. It's just bad business when you have positions of need that fit the strength of this draft. If he is there then they will have people wanting to trade up to get him.

Mac has said repeatedly that he's waiting until after the draft to negotiate with Wilkerson.
This is a smart move. On the off chance that we get Leonard Williams, we'll have all the leverage in negotiations and can likely flip him for something like 2 2nds or a low first if negotiations flame out, and Williams starts camp strong. Not that I want Mo gone, but we have to consider that paying both him and Richardson and eventually Snacks market value is going to cripple us.
If it comes down to paying Mo or Sheldon, I pay Sheldon.
Speaking of Leonard Williams, I'm getting the feeling more and more that he may fall to us. Both quarterbacks will be gone, both WRs are getting a lot of attention, and Fowler and Beasley are shooting up boards. It's going to take a lot less than people think for big Leonard to fall right to us.

Mac has said repeatedly that he's waiting until after the draft to negotiate with Wilkerson. This. I know there isn't a lot of things going on so people want to speculate, but I think we just need to be patient. If both sides are reasonable, this will get done after the draft; actually, the Jets could save some cap space over the next 2 years by signing a cap friendly deal. The team has all of the leverage from the draft, rookie wage scale, etc. Now the Jets have him this year and can franchise him next year; I think Mo is just letting him know the only way he can that he is getting impatient, but it all should be good. |
