But the Jets believe in building through the draft and signing a 2nd line player to 5 years at a highish cap hit wasn't just doesn't make sense when you have a lot of younger cheaper talent coming up. Would Chevy have wanted Frolik? Of course. But at 5 years I don't blame him for passing.

Again, until the kids actually take the jobs, you shouldn't just open the door for them and hand it to them.
Sign Frolik, and when a kid is ready for his job, trade him.
It really isn't that hard.
Edit: you are attempting to justify Chevy's position, simply on a 4 year vs 5 year issue. Which is really no issue at all.
