Jets extend contract of QB Mark Sanchez

03-09-2012, 09:52 PM

Just reported on ESPN2 during a break in the Miami/Florida State game... So, that likely takes the Jets out of the running for Peyton Manning.

Looks like a 3 year extension: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports...L2R_story.html

This was literally posted to their site like 30 seconds ago...

Re: Jets extend contract of QB Mark Sanchez

I bet this was done to save cap room. Sanchez had hit escalators in his contract, so his salary for this season was $8.5M along with a $2.75M roster bonus. The Jets likely converted that to bonus and tacked on the extra years to spread it out for cap purposes. That would create about $8M in cap room for this year.

Depending on what guarantees he got in the future, or additional bonus on top of what he was to receive, it doesn't mean they committed to him beyond this season any more than before.

Rex being Rex, Pursuing Peyton and failing, extending Sanchez, Trying to trade a horrible tackle after publicly supporting him, slapping 1st rd tender on Maybin.....embarrassing. Did I miss anything?

27M guaranteed over the next to years, who know if there's some sort of out clause though.

How so? By making more cap room this season? Granted Sanchez needs to prove a lot, but this is a smart move by the front office.

Did they really make cap room?? Seems like they gave him a crapload of money and he ranks like 6th now for highest paid QBs.

Ya this isnt a big deal they can probably cut him lose in the future without a problem or if he plays solid already have him signed

It all comes down to how firm his guarantees are. He was going to get paid over $11M this year anyway, so they pay him that much in the form of a bonus and it is just a matter of it being spread out over 5 years for cap purposes. I have heard $20.5M guaranteed, but haven't heard if that guarantee is just for skill. Even if it is, that really only means they committed to him for 2 more years.

My opinion is the Jets may have wanted to get some more cap room like Icky said, but I think the bigger reason was to prop up Sanchez so his confidence did not take a bigger hit with all the Manning talk because the Jets knew there was a snowballs chance in hell Manning would choose to go there anyway.
