Yeah this is what we thought last year. I'm sure the jets will have another "miracle" of money management by next year.
The miracle of money management is really a miracle of health. The Jets have gotten by with very thin rosters three years in a row because they've had terrific health and terrific luck with their free agents and trades.
When you have a thin roster you gamble on good health and it's a gamble that's been working for htem.

I was hoping the Redskins would sign Holmes, and that would force the Jets to overpay for Edwards, who is certainly an inferior reciever.
The fact that the deal is going to cost the Jets around 50 million makes it a little easier to swallow, but I still hate the Jets getting such a good player in his prime. This is crappy news for Pats fans.
Good thing the Redskins didnt. 10mill a year for Holmes is ridiculous. The Jets just, by the net effect of what they cant get with that money, got worse, unless Holmes suddenly becomes Jerry Rice Jr.
Oh yeah, and with Holmes shaky off the field history when he gets handed the first 20 mill and throws his ceebration party, one flase step and he's up for a 1 year suspension.
Pitt was so tired of his off field disasters they gave him away for a 5th round pick. The Jets give him 50 mill. Yeah, we should be real worried about that Jet front office.

I think he means that they had Holmes at a great value last year, and now that he costs a lot more, the Jets have essentially taken a step back. And just the simple fact that they probably overpaid him.

@AdamSchefter
Santonio Holmes early numbers: 5 years, $50 million, including $24 million guaranteed, thought to be highest guarantee given to a WR.
Half the contract guaranteed! I wonder what the cap effect is this year and if there's a bunch of backloaded crap at the end. I have a feeling it isn't backloaded. Holmes has the ability to hold them to the fire, and it looks like him and his agent did.

Well, the implication there was that it is less than miraculous and more just plain suspicious, however you do make a fair point.
We should now have a few players added to our roster that might get a bit more physical with the jets than in the past (Solder, Dowling, Cannon, etc). Hopefully we pick up a couple more in FA. Maybe their lucky streak will run out this year and they will be forced to learn a hard lesson about depth.
Santonio is a pretty good receiver, and smart for the the Jets to keep him…but if all these Nnamdi rumors are true, then I’d count the Jets as Redskins-lite…you know, the team that thinks winning the offseason = Super Bowl. They have offense line problems, QB issues, and no pass rush. Be wary of all the SB talk if they sign Nnamdi, still do not know where they will get that money…still a long way to go in Jet land, particularly when your QB is average at best.

why? This is good for the Patriots. The Jets paid WAY too much for Holmes at the expense of having hororendous depth and still having many unreplaced starters lost from last year.
They paid him like he was a top 3 WR and he is, possibly, a top 20
