No one is talking about how screwed the Jets are after this season. Their window is basically now. They can Bridge Connor and give a whatever deal to a guy like Tanev or try to internally replace. However they also need to either sign Trouba to likely a bigger cap hit than 5.5 OR replace him somehow. Myers is gone.
Just with trying to fill the depth like that you are already over their 4.1M in cap space.
And then you have Laine being worth 8-10M and looking for a long term contract.. Their team will be dismantled next season and it will be even worse when Morrissey and potentially Connor need long term deals and a declining Wheeler is making over 8M with several years left.
Damn I feel like there should be a bigger discussion on this honestly.
They have 23 million in cap space next year based on this years numbers. They have to pay Laine,Connor and Trouba. My guess is Trouba is traded. Laine,Connor and Myers get deals worth in the 18 to 20 million cap range.
They only thing that sucks is Trouba doesn't want to stick around
