Starkiller Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Good. He is a solid backup and our best only blocking TE. SuperFreak90, tgo, and NashvilleNinja 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 now let’s find out what he got. I’d guess something like 2 years for $6M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I didn’t realize this before but under the new CBA - you can designate two vested veterans to re-sign on a one year deal and have 1.25M of their cap number exempted. I fully expect us to use this designation on two players to virtually eliminate their cap impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an example: Let's say you're a four-year veteran on the Jets, and they want to re-sign you. They can offer you a one-year, $6.25 million deal, and only $5 million of it will count against their salary cap if they designated you as one of their two VSB exceptions. If you left and signed with, say, the Patriots, for one year and $6.25 million, the Patriots will have to count all $6.25 million against their cap. It's sort of a starter version of the NBA's midlevel exception rule, as I understand it.” Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be stunned. Firkser was an EFRA. He had no choice but to take the minimum. Pruitt was an unrestricted free agent and could have signed anywhere. And other no name TEs get well over $2M.

Pruitt was an unrestricted free agent and could have signed anywhere. I get that but they are basicly the same player but opposites if that makes sense. One is a blocker who can catch when needed. The other is a pass catcher who can block if needed. Which is why I said one guy will get at most 4times as much as the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t about who is better. Pruitt was an unrestricted free agent so he could negotiate for market value. Firkser wasn’t, so he had no option but to accept the league minimum. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
