The offseason means fans get to take a hard look at what a team’s salary cap situation looks like at the outset and how much room they have to work with for free agency and the NFL draft. Obviously, the more room the better but we also need to keep in mind that restructures can and will happen to create more space. Teams must be under the salary cap — currently projected to be around $242 million — by the start of the new league year in March. This is just a starting point for the Jets and all teams.
This will be a list of each team and how much cap space they are currently looking at as we enter the offseason. Again, just a starting point but a good starting point. This will give you a sense of where the Jets stand compared to other teams nearing the end of January. All numbers of courtesy of Over the Cap.
