All we heard from some people was how hard it was going to be for the Jets to spend the minimum amount of cash required by the CBA. We heard the Jets will have to overpay for FAs and front load contracts and basically just piss away money. Meanwhile....we are just 3 days into free agency and the Jets have spent enough cash to easily exceed the required cash threshold. They needed to average 141M dollars in cash spending over this year and next to be compliant. With just the current deals in place and factoring in the rookies signing bonuses and first year salaries, the Jets will exceed 141 million.
The best part is that the Jets did this with only one big money deal. The rest of these contracts are good value and leave outs for the team in a couple years if things don't work out. They also don't hamstring future caps right now. Well done by the new regime.

It's all about guaranteed money. The Revis deal required us to put out a lot, but otherwise, we managed the cap real well with the other signings.

Yeah Revis makes it easy to spend money. Otherwise might have been a tad more difficult

Whoever thought it would be tough to spend the money just doesn't get it. When the cap rises to 190k, it won't be tough to spend that either. These agents are smart and they know how much the teams have spend and will extract every available $. |

Does anyone know exactly how much left we have to spend after setting aside the sum for rookie and mid-season signings?
If there's anything left to play with, then it wouldn't surprise me to see us add another receiver like Cecil Shorts or Stevie Johnson.

Still need the numbers for Cro and Gilchrist - probably around $1-4mil unless their contracts are frontloaded, not much but enough to maybe do something. |

You are probably looking at about 11M in cap room right now, give or take a million or so. You could sign a couple more vet minimum guys if need be. Rookies will eat up about 5M in cap room. |

Would be awesone to add Shorts/Johnson for around $3-4 million per and maybe add an inline TE like Spaeth or Pascoe. |

We're at $14M now (including the rookie draft class) without accounting for Cromartie, Gilchrist, Colon and Purdum. Doubt we have that much www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/cap/ |

Doubt we have that much www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/cap/You are probably right, although there are still guys like Walls at 1M and Cumberlad at 1.9M that can be cut if need be. I wouldn't expect anything more than a few vet minimum guys to be added at this point. |
