Merged: The Latest on Coles/Moss

Does Anybody Know The Latest On This On Again Off Again Trade.

Does Anybody Know The Latest On This On Again Off Again Trade.I don't think we were going to let him go that easy in the fist place. He is here to stay unless we can work a deal to limit his cap hit.

This is the latest i've seen...

4th March - Talks between the Jets and Roosevelt Barnes, the agent for Coles, about a possible trade resumed yesterday. Coles dropped his demand for a new contract, which was the reason the initial negotiations died down, The Star-Ledger reports.

All the signs point to Coles being gone. First, we're not aggressively pursuing re-signing Smoot. Second, we let Pierce walk. Third, we picked up Patten, who, like Coles, is a deep threat. Fourth, we've stopped signing free agents for now. Fifth, Coles dropped his demand for a new deal.

My only question is....if we have about $7 million in cap room, we take a $9 million hit for trading Coles, and we give Moss a new deal, who are we going to cut to get in under the cap? We need about $1 million in emergency cap space. So, we'll need to come up with about $5 million in cap room.
