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.
"10M per year" is meaningless.
What are the first 3 year numbers (24M is guaranteed, that's probably counting first year salary as well) and what is the cap hit this season. Those are the only relevant questions
leaving them in a huge hole for the next few years and also unable to sign the little pieces who will inevitably be forced to walk.
I'm starting a weed fund to send Holmes a congratulation gift. Please make contributions fast so we can get it to him in time for his next drug test.
Yeah this is what we thought last year. I'm sure the jets will have another "miracle" of money management by next year.
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.I was hoping the Redskins would sign Holmes, and that would force the Jets to overpay for Edwards, who is certainly an inferior reciever.

That article is the only place I see $10M and they do use the word "believed" so I'm not sure it's anything beyond speculation.

huh?
this makes no sense
@AdamSchefter
Santonio Holmes early numbers: 5 years, $50 million, including $24 million guaranteed, thought to be highest guarantee given to a WR.
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 them.
