Jets gonna Jet. Tough break though. On the bright side he is 1-0 as the qb for the Jets, #undefeated lol.
minus-squareCobolSailor@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoThat’s a good point. An expensive qb coach but hey if he can turn Zach around… I’m not a Jets fan either. Just here for the chaos.
minus-squareSirSnufflelump@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoThe only problem is coaches salaries don’t count towards the cap, Aaron on the other hand…
minus-squareconciselyverbose@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNope. Anything you pay (except one year veteran minimum deals that get an exception to be counted at a slightly lower number) hits the cap. You can manipulate timing with contract structure, but there is no way to pay a player without it counting to the salary cap
minus-squareTrebach@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThere is always the Don Muhlbach option. Rodgers retires, it lowers the cap hit to just this year for a prorated amount, they get to re-sign him as a coach/assistant, and they might get a compensatory pick out of it.
