How likely is it the Jets’ top 10 cap hits remain on the roster?

Jets GM Joe Douglas will have some big decisions to make regarding players who will greatly affect the Jets’ 2020 salary cap.

G Brian Winters – $7.5 million

Winters is in the final year of the four-year, $29 million contract he signed in 2016 and will likely be released before his eighth season in New York. He’s been a solid guard on the Jets offensive line, but has battled injuries and shouldn’t be considered a key factor in the Jets’ long-term plans. He has no real ties to Joe Douglas or Adam Gase, who both will look to upgrade the entire offensive line. Winters is a good veteran lineman but is expendable given the Jets’ desire to build a better overall roster.

Verdict: Likely cut
