Uh Samberg will be on an ELC....

MIN never does that.

Harkins is no where close to being 2C.

Samberg is going to get a contract similar to Makar and Fox. Which is burning the first year as a bonus. Jets will have to give him some bonuses to get him to sign.

Harkins is probably not a 2c but he deserves a look. Jets can move a few players into that spot. I think Gustafsson is another candidate. It's Little's contract that looms big. No one knows where he is at. I was just trying to do a budget team with him in consideration, if he returns.

I have no idea what Minnesota would do. I think Buff can control where he goes, and I don't think he really wants to go far, but who knows? For Minnesota that's a good trade, they get the better player for cheap. And a guy who scares the bejeesus out of half the league. I was trying to get draft picks for the Jets, which I think they really need.

Samberg still has a year left until he’s a college UFA, he’s still eligible for a 3 year ELC. Also Makar and Fox are on ELCs.

There’s no way anyone gives any worthwhile assets for Buff as of now.

Makar's AAV with bonuses is 2.8 million Fox is 1.775 million. I think Samberg is between them, maybe I am off by a few hundred thousand, but not way off. And I don't know what the offseason will bring for Buff. Maybe the Jets just terminate his contract. I'd be trying to get something for him, especially if you think he is going to sign with a rival. I may be wrong in his value though, it's a unique situation.

I take it that you don't know how ELC work? its a base amount that hits the cap plus up to a few more million in bonuses. The cap hit is still maxed at 925K...usually between 700-925K

Personally I don't want to see Buf play for another franchise, especially not the wild. Im hoping for a Wheeler, Scheifle Buf fishing trip in NW Ontario where they convince him to go on the keto diet and come back for one more year

You have to factor in bonuses, I don't know if there is a way to do that in the Create Team app. Doesn't matter if the cap hit is less. If the player obtains the bonuses, he gets them. If the bonuses exceed the Cap, that money is taken off the Cap for then next season. So it's good way to budget. I don't think the Jets have overran the Cap yet, because they don't generally pay bonuses. But Samberg is going to get bonuses, or he simply goes back to College for one more year, becomes an unrestricted UFA.

Yeah I don't really like that scenario. But I think there is something fishy in the room, that makes Buff an outsider. And he doesn't want to play here, Jets either terminate him, or trade him. I can't see him wanting to go far, since fishing Lake of the Woods is what he likes to do. I was trying to get the Jets a draft pick out of him at least, because the cupboards are really getting bare. 4 draft picks in a strong draft, hard to make an impact like 2015.

You can't create a bonus on this website but there is a spot for it if the player is already signed. As a 2nd rounder, he won't require much of a bonus schedule....as a FA next year, its not like he can sign for 3M or something...its still a one year ELC...
