The Jets needed salary cap space. They released long-time center Nick Mangold to get it. So how's the team's cap situation looking now?
By cutting Mangold, the Jets freed over $9 million in cap space. According to OverTheCap.com, the Jets now $16.446 million under the projected team salary cap of $168 million. The total is the 28th most in the NFL.
While the Jets do have a little wiggle room, more moves are undoubtedly coming. The Jets can free an additional $28 million by releasing receiver Brandon Marshall, cornerback Darrelle Revis, linebacker David Harris and safety Marcus Gilchrist.
