Not at all a fan. Terrible deal and this will hurt us a lot moving forward.

Who gives a crap about 2023-24. Just win now, baby.

 

[Jets4Life]

Excellent signing. Congrats Chevy! Awesome. I guess Morrissey will do a bridge deal.

 

[Neuf]

Wow. Not sure what I feel. The term is max I'd want so I think this is a good sign.

Someone said declining?!

 

[Trinity]

I don't like this at all. This is a declining asset. Terrible move Chevy...did you not learn your lesson with Little? AAV seems fine, but three years was the MAX we should have gone. Will be interesting what type of NMC is in the contract.

 

[surixon]

It's going to prevent us from winning in the short term as we will have to shed way more salary next off-season. There isn't enough room with an 8 plus million declining player. Chevys worst contract to date. An 8 plus million 38 year old is face palm worthy.

 

[Tommigun]

Why sign him just after the career year happened? Also too much term imho. Doesn’t this mean we won’t be able to keep all of the young guns?

 

[tbcwpg]

I think it's fine.

 

[Maukkis]

I am one Morrissey bridge deal away from giving Chevy an F for the way he handled this summer.

Back to my slumber.

This will end up as another Pavelec contract in a year or two. Just brutal. I'm so disappointed in this signing.

...you see where he finished in the scoring race, right?

so disappointed that you posted twice. lol

This probably means that Poolman will be playing on the second pairing for the next few years and we can say goodbye to Perreault after this season. If Chevy can get Morrissey locked up for 7+ years, I'll forgive him for this.

whoops. that's three!

Not so much concerned about the dollars as the term. No more than 3 years would have been better IMO.

Just mostly glad we avoided another Ladd situation and Wheels signed before the season.

You're obviously not much of a long term thinker. Do you understand the concept of a "declining asset"?

 

[EpicGingy]

I'm not sure how to feel about the term.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Mixed feelings. 5 years was max he should have gone. So that part is ok. But at 8, 8, 6, 5, 4 it would have been fine.
Im worried what this does to our ability to sign our younger and improving players.

 

[Saintb]

I think this is fine for the Jets. just four years beyond his current contract so that is very reasonable. Also, like the Buff signing, it makes an organizational statement to the young core players, that the Jets are a team you can plan your whole career around if you produce at your highest level. I like it.

is that when an asset declines?
he's been trending upward since 2011.
he's a bit of an anomaly.
if he had a 2018-19 season like last year's and walked as a UFA, he'd sign for a similar contract, if not a bit more.

He's not getting better beyond his age 33 season. We just paid a premium for his declining years.

hence the 5 year term not an 8 year term

 

[Inflict]

I don't have any problems with the money or the term. I think Wheeler's play will more than make up for it. He's gonna be one of those Thornton/Selanne type players that can play well into his late 30s and play at a high level. His speed, vision and passing are just too good.

The cap situation next year is another story however. Chevy will have to work his magic and either sign bridge deals or trade away some major assets. Still glad to have Wheeler apart of the team.

 

[surixon]

Also this may explain why Morrissey isn't inked yet Chevy is likely only offering 4.5 million or so on a long term deal, he can't afford to go much higher given this extension.

Morrissey is going to sign a bridge deal regardless of the Wheeler situation. His agent is likely betting on Morrissey improving enough by 25 to command a lucrative contract.

Three years should have been max. Otherwise let him walk.
