Yeah. It's really a big number for Winters who is now being paid as an elite guard off a small sample size but it's probably the right move if they think his progress is sustainable.

The Jets are at a point where players won't take discounts to be here until this becomes a place players want to play. In addition, the Jet guards are pretty good and it's one less hole to fill.

Is this a serious question

It is a serious question. What did you want done? Create another hole where it wasn't needed just to hoard money you don't want spent?
You let other teams overpay for guards. If they wanted Winters back, he should have been locked up last year.

They probably didn't at that point. Winters THIS SEASON played his way into this deal. Otherwise you would have complained about Winters getting an extension based off a handful of games.
And like I already said, the Jets are gonna wind up having to overpay for the talent they acquire and the talent they keep because right now nobody will take less to join this circus. It's something you have to deal with until this team gets their shyt together.

It's not a small sample. He has improved two seasons straight. He was going to get that in the open market.
He's already the best pulling guard in football.
I wouldn't sign a guard to a second contract period. The roster sucking isnt an excuse to give a friggin guard that much money.

Who said that? Winters got paid because he played better. Clearly it's not a perfect deal but you're not gonna get that from the guys here or the guys you replace. If the idea is refuse to pay any player here or in free agency, you're not gonna sign anyone and thus, don't be surprised when the team continues to flounder.
If the team knew how to identify talent late or in UDFA, then this wouldn't happen, BUT, they'd be a much better team.

Where would you like the money to be spent ?

On Aaron Rodgers after the Packers cut him
If we're talking about the current roster, locking up Enunwa now probably would have been a good idea.
We got big money locked into two guards. Just a weird allotment of resources for a non premium position.

The premium positions right now other than DE aren't gonna have strong financial commitments to them right now.
QB? No.
LT? No.
CB? No.
OLB? No.
I agree. I also don't think that's a reason to overpay a guard. The Jets letting him walk and letting a younger guy play this year wouldn't have made a difference considering they're going to stink anyways
