It would cost the Jets more to cut LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson than to keep him. | ||||||
In other words, Ferguson will be back to serve as the Jets left tackle at a 2014 base salary of $5.95 million. And thanks to restructures in back-to-back offseasons, he'll likely be there through the 2015 season as well. The remarkably durable Ferguson started all 16 games for the eighth straight year in 2013, but he slipped to 40th in Pro Football Focus' tackle grades out of 76 qualifiers. | ||||||

Jets LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson restructured his contract, freeing up $5.128 million in cap space. | ||||||
Ferguson, 29, was due a base salary of $7.25 million in 2013 but he agreed to slash it to $840,000, turning the remaining $6.41 million into a "signing" bonus that can be prorated over the last five years of his contract. It's the second offseason in a row that Ferguson has restructured for the Jets. Ferguson graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 6 left tackle last season, and he hasn't missed a game in his seven seasons. | ||||||
