New York Jets could be major players in post-June 1 free agency

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Money to burn: Once again, the Jets are rolling in an abundance of salary-cap space as they head into post-June 1 free agency. The question is, will they actually use it to improve the roster?

They rank second in cap space with $25 million, according to Over the Cap, but that doesn't include a $2.8 million savings for reworking guard Alex Lewis' contract. They still have to sign their top four draft picks, which will eat up $9.
