What to do with Morrissey

[TheGovernment]

It could be they agreed on a price but need to move someone quicky to free up cap space. Maybe they are working on a deal sending someone else away.

I’m just praying Chevy does not bridge Morrissey.... that would be the worst

It may be a cap management necessity. It may take 6 to get him locked up long term and we have only 5.5. In that case a bridge is the best way to go. In fact, maybe the only way to go.

It does take 2 sides.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with a bridge deal.

I agree it could easily be a cap management move but I would hope the Jets to lock up one of their cornerstone young D they'll need 2 especially as I've said before if Morrissey get PP time those numbers will easily go up

If Trouba had signed, I fully expected a bridge for Morrissey. It was only after Trouba went through arb that I decided I preferred LT for Morrissey. I wanted at least 1 of them locked up.

I think bridge deals will become the norm in future for good young players coming off ELCs. The alternative is to trade one of the good young players to open up a little breathing room.

What do you mean? Everyone other than Morrissey and his agent would have loved to do 8 years. You get what you can. The hogs are all at the trough.

The poll was.... what would you like to be done.... not what will happen.

I know. That‘s why I posted my answer.
Stuart comes off the list, Wheeler gets a raise, that leaves you 5m to sign Connor and Laine. Good luck with that.
I‘m not sure about any bonusses Laine will get, but you are already in cap hell and your window is now.
Hoping for a long term contract for Morrissey is not clever.
After 3 expensive signings this was the first smart one.

2 years was exactly the correct thing to do and what you should have hoped for.

No need for the thread now, done deal.

9.9% of voters selected bridge deal.
