His rookie deal was $8.8 million for 4 years. 5th year option was $8.7 mill. So, 5 year total in Baltimore was $17.5 million. Contract with the Jets is $51 million for the first 3 years. Jets can cut him afterwards for only a $3 million dead cap hit for year 4. Guys have to get paid. It's the business of the NFL.He leaves Baltimore in free agency, signs a monster contract with the Jets and gets constantly injured. Meanwhile, the Ravens defense has not missed a beat and leading the division?
Ouch.
