8 Jets players who could factor in New York creating salary cap space

The Jets have an important offseason ahead. Sure, there are several players hitting free agency they need to make decisions on. But what’s most important of all is finding a veteran quarterback to steer the offense.

The other thing that needs to happen is for Gang Green to clear some payroll. Even with the NFL setting a record-high salary cap number of $224.8 million for 2023, the Jets are nearly $3 million over the cap. If they want to bring aboard someone like Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr, general manager Joe Douglas needs to make room.
