FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Unlike the first three offseasons under general manager Joe Douglas, the New York Jets aren't swimming in salary-cap space as they approach the roster-building portion of the offseason. That will make for some tough decisions in the coming weeks.
The Jets stand at $915,000 over the $224.8 million cap, ranking 19th in available cap room, according to overthecap.com. They still have to pay a new quarterback, a presumptive starter who will keep Zach Wilson on the bench. They’re “committed” to adding a veteran at the position, according to coach Robert Saleh.
