Good move.

Also, his cap hit was big. Wonder how it changes the capspace.

 

Called it the day the season ended.

 

ehh, i'm iffy on the extension. Granted, even though he does provide solid veteran leadership, I feel as if we have enough depth at corner to have been able to withstand a Joseph departure. I also don't see Jonathan playing that great football from this point on.

 

Well it was going to either be extend or cut, couldn't have that huge cap hit.

Just waiting on the numbers.

Interested to how this is structured. Looks like they barely save any money this year but probably a low cap figure the next two years?

 

So much for the reports that were out that they wanted to trade him:

I love this extension. Need at least three good CBs in the modern NFL and it will allow KJ30 to develop in a lesser role.

 

Yeah, that plus they are done with his guarantee after this year. Basically this deal saved about a million off his cap this year and gave him a more cap friendly, completely non-guaranteed contract for 2 more years.

 

great move. #20 ranked cover corner by PFF last year stays, gives us 3 corners if KJ pans out, lets KJ ramp up over time / gives him a veteran mentor, and of course helps the cap hit

 

I know we have recievers but 6'5 235 with speed and ridiculous athleticism, why not?

This should work out about as well as Tebow's transition.

 

I bet Terrell is pissed he has to play WR while Tebow gets a shot at qb

 

WR is a deep position, you cant just switch there and be good at it, you have to play the position at a world class level. I know it's been by other ex-QB's, I know Pryor has gotten redzone looks, but to think he can contribute at a meaningful level at WR is a reach.

 

He can get in line behind Michael Vick and Vince Young.

 

Why would they be pissed? It's not Tebow's fault they all blew it. It's simple, you produce you play, don't make it anything thats it's not.
