ILB Avery Williamson – $8.5 million

Williamson had a tremendous first season for the Jets in 2018, but a preseason ACL injury derailed his 2019 season before it even started. Now, the Jets are looking at a post-ACL Williamson with $8.5 million on the books in 2020. They’ll only eat $2 million in dead cap if they cut Williamson, who signed a three-year, $22.5 million deal in 2018.

Considering the rise of Blake Cashman, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Jets release Williamson before his contract hits their books. Unless Gregg Williams feels a Williamson-Mosley duo will benefit the team’s 2020 goals, Williamson should be a cap casualty before the season begins.

Verdict: Likely cut
