I think a lot of people knew that this wasn't going to make it to arbitration and that it would either be a 2 year or 5+ year deal. I think this makes sense for both sides, a really nice "show me" deal for Vilardi so he can set himself up for a nice fat long-term contract after.

I guess withbour cap situation they couldn't go long term. Should provide good value for that hit.

 

[WolfHouse]

Very nice Chevy contract...

 

[DRW204]

Not surprised there's no long term deal. From his POV I wouldn't want to lock into an AAV when you're positioned to have a big/important role and smash career highs

1.5m left after everyone signed?

 

[Guardian17]

Happy to have him signed!

 

[RustyCat]

Alright fella now time to light the lamp!

[CorgisPer60]

Nice. No more arbitration cases.

 

[surixon]

So Kupri and Chisholm left. Both shouldn't be too difficult.

Looks to me they are bringing it all back and not trading any of Mark/Helle before the season starts.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Perfect contract for this player - good value for both sides.

If his injury problems truly are behind him, then the Jets get a good player on a quality deal, with the option to go long-term next time around.

If he re-aggravates that back, then he still gets a six million dollar contract, with the potential to cash in next time around.

 

[MardyBum]

Stanley as well, whatever happens there. Fair deal, think 2 years is what was generally expected

 

[MelikeJets]

This made my day

Stonkley too. It’s good we got the big one out of the way, the rest should be quick and easy.

Bridge probably makes sense, although I hope he doesn't do another Dubois at the end of it
At least he's cheap for now

 

[Bob E]

Good bridge deal.

In a year’s time, if he has a productive season, try to sign him to a long term deal.

Agreed, and with the cap targeted to go up, it makes sense for guys if they want to bet on themselves.

 

[Buffdog]

Not sure who did a better job today... Chevy or the Jets photoshop guy

 

[Hobble]

Only two years? Gabe clearly wants out.

 

[WolfHouse]

This kind of makes me think he'd work better with Ehlers-Names than Connor-Scheif

Ticket sales must be in the toilet as Chevy is pinching pennies on a future star who is leaving like Rocky A$AP.

lol, if they were penny pinching then they would have just traded pld for futures and paid someone to take the wheeler contract instead were once again spending to the cap..

bridge deal was the most obvious route for both sides

It's the $37,500 i don't understand. Sign for $3.4 or $3.5 or throw him a Chevy Malibu from Chipman's dealership.
