Jets waive 2012 1st rounder Quentin Coples

Think there's a chance Rexy picks him up? He's certainly a higher value project then Ekempali.

Whoa, this guy was starting to become good as of last season...injury?

Seems there is no injury just production reasons.

There are about 20 teams ahead of us in the waiver order though so I doubt we get him.

It looks like he has about a $2.8 mil cap hit for this season, but about $1.3 mil is prorated bonus money, which the Jets should still be on the hook for. So I think whatever team gets him is just responsible for what's left of his $1.5 mil base salary. He's due about $7.75 mil in 2016. Maybe that will keep teams from putting in a claim.

True his existing contract is a little much for us to absorb, but we can make a run at him if he clears waivers.

It looks like the $7.75 mil for 2016 is just base salary with no guaranteed money, so I guess they could still make a claim and then try to renegotiate a new deal, or just cut him without taking on dead money.

Claim him and make him captain on Week 17.

We can give him the nickname Mayback. *rimshot*
