The Jets would have known this from before the contract was signed as I am sure they had that discussion during the last negotiation and there was probably some gentleman's agreement that they would renegotiate if he was still a top 5 CB.
Honestly the majority of NFL players have 5-7 years to make their money and their contracts are not guaranteed. If they can be cut at anytime, then hell they should be able to hold out and demand more money if they feel they deserve it.

THen the league should be able to ask players like Jamarcus Russell to pay back the big bonus payments when they turn out to be busts... Right?
