There was Pete Kendall. Then Coles complained about Tannenbaum lying to him about a pay increase which led to a public feud and the Jets backing down and making his entire contract guaranteed. Followed by Baker claiming he was lied to also.
Again, Rhodes' cap number is high, but how do they reduce it with the new rules? I did find the site below. It appears there is nothing they can do unless Rhodes is willing to give up part of his roster bonus which is doubtful. The reason his cap number is so high is because he has a $9 million roster bonus. If this was any other year, that bonus would be spread out evenly over the life of his contract (something the Jets were counting on when they signed Rhodes), but now the entire thing is recognized this year.
BTW, according to this site, the Jets are over $16 million over the projected cap, not $6 million. If it is true, the Jets will have to do more than cut Favre to get under it. Maybe Miguel knows these guys and can vouche how accurate they usually are or aren't.
