Of all the moves Joe Douglas has made since becoming the New York Jets‘ general manager, cleaning up their salary cap situation is the most important. Unlike the two previous so-called financial gurus whom the Jets ill-advisedly hired, Douglas knows where to invest his money and how.
So it’s not a surprise that Pro Football Focus ranked the Jets’ three-year salary cap outlook the sixth-best across the NFL. PFF uses multiple metrics to evaluate the cap, including active draft capital, 2022-24 effective cap space, total prorated money, Top 51 Veteran valuation, and 2023 unrestricted free agent valuation.
