After a day of courting Aaron Rodgers, Joe Douglas and the New York Jets‘ decision-makers are back in Florham Park. The first order of business: starting the cap gymnastics necessary to carry Rodgers’s contract.
Douglas began that process by restructuring C.J. Uzomah‘s deal, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The #Jets converted $4.5 million of TE C.J. Uzomah's salary into a bonus, clearing $3.6M in cap space.

If you go back to the article in which I broke down possible contract restructures, those numbers are a little different than the ones I had projected for Uzomah.
