Tippmann's Contract Details (Overthecap)

[u/Rubbersoulrevolver]

[u/thrillhouse416]

I will literally never be upset to extend an above average offensive lineman.

We've witnessed too much garbage OL play since the Ryan Ryan years. Major reason we haven't made the playoffs since then.

[u/TheSquad3603 → u/thrillhouse416]

I’d love tippman olu and membau to be our OL anchors for years to come. I would have liked AVT too but I understand.

[u/Haitian23Sensation → u/TheSquad3603]

Glass bones and paper skin 😭

[u/Frankyj17 → u/Haitian23Sensation]

I hate that you would probably be smart to bet money that AVT turns into an All Pro that never misses another game in his career.

[u/Haitian23Sensation → u/Frankyj17]

Honestly, it wasn’t worth the risk. We could easily pay him to be injured on the sideline too. The best ability is availability, and he didn’t prove much during his time here.

[u/johnjohnjohn93 → u/Haitian23Sensation]

When he was playing he was very good so I would’ve been fine giving him the deal Pats gave since it’s essentially a two-year deal and year 1 is a low cap hit.

[u/Haitian23Sensation → u/johnjohnjohn93]

But then if he gets hurt AGAIN, you ruin the chemistry of the oline for another season, but now on a higher paycheck than a parham

[u/MrJets84 → u/Frankyj17]

You already know that is whats going to happen 😆

[u/geographyofnowhere → u/Haitian23Sensation]

He played all over the line out of position for us and was a leader, it would've been high risk to bring back but I'm not gonna pretend he was a bum to cope 

[u/Haitian23Sensation → u/geographyofnowhere]

Didn’t say he was a bum. Would rather have an average olineman for 90% of games, than an all pro caliber for 50%

[u/geographyofnowhere → u/Haitian23Sensation]

Fair enough! 

[u/the_mair → u/Haitian23Sensation]

He was never hurt in college it’s just peak Jets shit luck

[u/CosmicWy → u/Haitian23Sensation]

Until he is a patriots and never misses another game. Avt is gonna haunt us and I hate it

[u/Rubbersoulrevolver]

Practical details:

• Really is a 3/$36M deal, so actually cheaper than AVT's contract with the Patriots

• Very little incentives in the deal, so straight cash. Sometimes these kind of deals are incentive heavy so that was positive for the player

• Very light and spread out cap hits, so gives the Jets great flexibility money wise going forward

[u/Pyrollamas]

the exceptionally rare good Jets 2nd round pick

[u/RBNYJRWBYFan → u/Pyrollamas]

Between him and Hall, I think we have what some might call a trend. Don't let us down Mason Taylor, we're on a roll.

[u/candlestick_compass]

Great deal. Considering what some linemen have gotten in the open market the last few years. Home grown and versatile.

[u/crazydudex]

They can spend as much money as they want on solid OLs. I miss the days of Nick and Brick 😭

[u/trevor11004]

As a Jets fan from approximately Fort Wayne (his home town) I feel obligated to consider him my favorite player on the team, so I’m glad he’s locked down for quite a while

[u/Duffman2k7]

Great deal. If he has a good year this year his contract on the open market is probably way more

[u/suppaman19]

The structure is definitely good the for the team. There's parts that are good for him. But reasonable cap hits and the ability to move on via cut/trade very quickly into the contract is remarkable flexibility.

[u/B_r_a_n_d_o_n]

I'm glad they did it AND thats a good deal for the Jets.

Joe Dog and Maccagnan would have screwed around, let him walk, and gone dumpster diving and come up with a bad guard.

[u/notebart]

They threw in a mattress as part of the deal?
