Thanks to the post-June 1 cut of Trumaine Johnson, the New York Jets have close to $25 million ($24.721 million) in cap space, per Over The Cap. It stands to reason Joe Douglas could do some damage prior to the season.
Why not Jadeveon Clowney? Well, for one, the Jets have yet to show serious interest in the free-agent edge rusher, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
“While the Jets-Clowney speculation has lingered throughout the offseason, the truth is they have never had serious interest — and their position hasn’t changed even with $11 million in cap relief from Johnson,” Cimini wrote on Wednesday.
