This season he is scheduled to make a base salary of $1,200,500 and the price in 2015 will go to $6,969,000 (according to OvertheCap.com).

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.
