One more season after this one and he'll be 33 in that offseason. What do you do with him? What's it going to take to keep him here?
I don't know ... he's playing so well and seems to be getting better with age, I don't know how we don't re-sign him unless his contract demands are sky-high. Given his age, his play may start dropping off but for now he's clearly in his prime. Here's hoping he does what Schief and Little did and takes a bit of a hometown discount. We'll probably have to give him some serious term to make that happen, but considering how good he is now, he could be a more than serviceable third liner later in the contract.
In terms of numbers I don't know because I honestly don't pay enough attention to salaries around the league or to crunching numbers on what the Jets need to do in order to work with the salary cap.
If he doesnt sign for 6-6.5m for 5 years, trade him this offseason.
We would get a kings ransom for him.
Great idea! Let's trade off our captain, the guy who went through the leanest years while in his prime because he believed in the owners vision and commitment. What a great signal for our young core.If he doesnt sign for 6-6.5m for 5 years, trade him this offseason.
We would get a kings ransom for him.
There are so many variables for both sides. The Jets need to know what happens with all their RFA's
Both sides need to evaluate where the cap will be and team success will obviously impact the decision as well.
Term will be a sticking point regardless IMO
Well let's hold off on calling his contract demands unreasonable until we at least hear they are having troubles coming to terms haha.Message sending works both ways. The team has to be fair to him but what message does it send if he refuses something reasonable. To the fans? To the other players?
What does it say if he asks for something unreasonable and gets it?
Ladd was barely an adequate second liner here
