The Jets needed to give Harris a long term worth less per year than the franchise tender to save them cap space, just like the Raiders did with Kamerion Wimbley, but unlike Wimbley, Harris was kind of worth this. Did they overpay a little bit giving him 36 million over 4 years with 29.5 million in guarantees, but Harris is one of the best linebackers in the league so it wasn’t a huge overpay.
