A look at Jets' crazy good cap situation and Plan B at quarterback

A few New York Jets-related takeaways from the NFL scouting combine, which concluded Monday:

1. Rolling in green: On Monday, the league notified teams the salary cap will be set at $177.2 million, up from $167 million last year. It's only a six-percent increase, the smallest since 2013. This doesn't dramatically affect the Jets because team officials anticipated a number close to $177 million.

So where do the Jets stand? To paraphrase Larry David, they're in pretty, pretty good shape. They're $89.3 million under the cap, according to overthecap.com -- second in the league behind the Cleveland Browns ($108.
