Mike Maccagnan did not sacrifice the future of his team, the New York Jets. With $27.317 million left in cap space, money is still available from the cool over $100 million available to start when the offseason commenced.
For those who were signed to new Jets deals, notice the short-term nature of the contracts. Most are one-year deals leading to next offseason’s copycat of another blockbuster free agency. According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, the Jets are expected to come equipped to the 2019 free agency party with around $100 million.
Eighteen total players have been signed to contracts over the last three weeks.
