The days of scouring the clearance section are over. Mike Maccagnan can put away his coupons, avoid the bargain buy. By the time free agency opens in March, the Jets general manager should have over $100 million in salary cap space.
Let that sink in for a second: $100 million. Seems like a lot, right?
That's an understatement.
The figure would give the Jets the third-most spending room in the NFL. They don't just have the money to sign a top-tier free agent ... they can bring in an entire group of them. Look back in NFL history, and you can see what others have done with significantly less.
