Logan Mankins would still be a year away from free agency, that would suck for him.

Everything you need and more
If I recall correctly Arrington is an ERFA, and BJGE is a RFA, so it should be easier to retain them.thanks.

Not too horrible. i would say we definitely need to keep BJGE, Arrington, and Mankins.
Page, McGowan, Faulk and Light would be nice too but maybe its time to move on from them. Light can be great and he can be wildly irritating. The false start penalties are something i will never understand.
For comparison purposes here are the JETS pending FA:
Kellen Clemens, QB
Braylon Edwards, WR
Santonio Holmes, WR
Brad Smith, KR
Antonio Cromartie, CB
Wayne Hunter, OT
Shaun Ellis, DE
Trevor Pryce, DE
David Harris, LB
Lance Laury, LB
Drew Coleman, CB
Eric Smith, CB
Brodney Pool, S
James Ihedegbo, S
Nick Folk, PK
Steve Weatherford, P
The JETS are currently estimated at $117M in cap cost for 2011 without re-signing any of those players. When the cap returns it will likely be in the $135M vacinity. The JETS are currently guesstimated to be picking 30th in round one and round three of the 2011 draft with no second round pick due to the Cromartie trade...
The 2009 salary cap was $127,997,000. That is based upon the player pool to receive 60% of the revenues. My understanding of the current CBA negotiations is the owners want to lower the player pool from 60% of the revenues. If hypothetically the player pool is reduced to 55% of the revenues, the salary cap for 2011 would be $129,356,968 if the basis of the calculation is the 2009 salary cap value with a 5% annual increase.

By keeping Gerard Warren on the roster is just maintaining the status quo. Gerard Warren won't improve the Patriots defensive pass rush at the age of 33. It's time to move forward and develop the young defensive lineman on the New England Patriots roster.Gerard Warren is probably worth keeping around too, for depth's sake.

Let's review the current roster:If there's someone better that we can replace him with, then sure, by all means. but if we can't get 5 better defensive linemen on the roster, then why cut loose a guy who, while limited, was fairly productive in his first year in the system?
Tracy White and Jarrad Page also jump out at me as guys who I'd like to see back that should be pretty cheap. Gerard Warren is probably worth keeping around too, for depth's sake.
A distasteful thot---if there's no agreement and no FA then the Jets get to keep all those stars for another year. We get Mankins and they geta whole nest of playmakers---not fair.
Let's review the current roster:
Ty Warren
Vince Wilfork
Mike Wright
Ron Brace
Myron Pryor
Darryl Richard
Brandon Deaderick
Kyle Love
Kade Weston
Oh yeah, then there is the 2011 NFL Draft and a nasty fiscal restraint called the 2011 salary cap. Sorry to be repetitive, Gerard Warren won't resolve the New England Patriots defensive pass rush deficiencies. It's time to move on with younger bodies.
