Franchise Wilkerson
Cuts:
Giacomini Kerley Cumberland Geno
Restructure:
Brick Mangold Marshall Folk
Resign:
Fitz Douzable Henderson Lattimore Powell Walls
remaining cap after rookie allocation is about 9 million, so we are Walmart shopping
FA signings:
Bryce Brown (RB) - bargain bin pickup that has some decent size and has produced in the past Joe Barksdale (OT) - steady eddie RT Scott Chandler (TE) - blocking TE that can occasionally catch a pass. Junior Gillette (edge rusher) - an absolute lunatic, but he can rush the passer, is originally from NJ, and went to Bowles alma matter, so the Jets may be willing to roll the dice on a prove it deal. Jets successfully rolled the dice on Marshall and Henderson last off season, so I don't think they are adverse to taking calculated risks.
Trade:
Sheldon Richardson for a second and a fifth. Jets picked up Santonio for a third and a fifth when he was facing a 4 game suspension and Sheldon is a better player with 2 years left on his rookie deal.
Draft
Round 1 - Paxton Lynch (QB)(Memphis) Round 2 - Germain Ifredi (OT) (Texas A&M) Round 2 - Shilique Calhoun (edge)(Mich State) Round 3 - Paul Perkins (RB)(UCLA) Round 4 - Jaylon Smith (LB)(Notre Dame) Round 5 - Matt Judon (edge) (grand valley state) Round 5 - DJ Reader (NT) (clemson) Round 7 - Daryl Worley (CB)(West VA)

I could certainly go for this, don't really care for Bryce Brown though.
Doubt Calhoun sticks around that long. Would favor a kid like Correa if we go OLB in the 2nd.

You would be surprised, I've seen Calhoun in the late second in a couple of mocks. Honestly, we are going to have to fill RB with a premium pick in the draft (I like your selection of Elliott in round 1). We just aren't going to have a lot of money in FA, I actually contemplated going into the draft with just Powell and Zach Stacy.

Even with all the cuts and restructuring, after signing Mo and Fitz, there just isn't a lot of money left. Trading Sheldon hurts, but I don't see his value going up if we wait until next offseason. Bowles may start playing Sheldon out of position again at OLB and, at DE, there are only so many reps to go around between Mo, Sheldon and Leo.

i'd welcome this draft. Lynch, Perkins, Smith and 2 upswing starters in the second round? Hell yea.

Love the draft, the only questionable pick is Jaylon Smith. At this point I wouldn't even waste a 4th rounder on him because I doubt he'll ever be 100% and get his speed back. Jaylon Smith without speed = wasted pick.
