10:19 AM ET 01.19 | New Jets general manager John Idzik's primary responsibilities with the Seahawks were contract negotiations and salary-cap management. The Jets are going to draw criticism for hiring a GM from the business side rather than the scouting side of a front office. Izik, 52, has a limited background in personnel, but the Jets felt he was a leader capable of overseeing every aspect of their football operation. Several of the candidates said it was clear to them head coach Rex Ryan has more power in the organization than they were used to a head coach having, but Idzik will have final say on all personnel moves and report directly to Johnson. He and Ryan met, but it was an informal discussion of philosophy and not part of the evaluation process.

Actually this could be Ryan's problem, jack of all trades, master of none. So he lacks focus

Is that a rhetorical question or the start of a joke?

So what happens if a team like the NYJ's which is projected to be $19 million over the salary cap does not comply with the NFL and get below the cap? Do they not give that team their share of the TV money?, do they remove them from the draft?, do they prohibit them from participating in the playoffs?, Or do they force the owner to sell their franchise?

Woody inherited the company and all the Money, that says a lot about his not knowing much about business! As long as the Band-Aids stick, he's got nothing to worry about!
