Dillon wasn’t going to give the Jets a discount as it is likely his last contract before hanging around on league minimums and going with 22 men doesn’t save you $1.5 M. You also have extra costs with injuries. Anyway you slice it the Jets would have had to unload salary if they signed either Dillon or Monahan.
I don't think he would have given them a discount either. But his ask last Dec might have been more modest. By the time Chevy made an offer he had already decided to move on. He expressed disappointment with not having been offered an extension months before hand. As a UFA, I think there was some competition for him and the contract went up, especially the term.
