The New York Jets are expected to have more cap space than everybody originally thought, courtesy of an increasing cap.
The NFL’s 2021 salary cap is expected to be around $180-181 million, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s a number that’s much higher than the $175 million mark previously expected, which means the Jets space will be greater than most pundits expected.
Though the NFL’s salary cap is not expected to be officially set until next month, league sources believe it will be roughly $180-$181 million. Throughout the past season, many expected it to be around $175 million, but it now is projected to come in slightly higher, per sources.
