Source: Eyeing Rodgers, Jets free up $13.1 million in cap room

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Preparing for free agency and the possible addition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets created $13.1 million in salary-cap room by restructuring three veteran contracts.

They re-worked three players from their 2022 free-agent class -- guard Lake Tomlinson, cornerback D.J. Reed and tight end Tyler Conklin, a source told ESPN's Field Yates on Saturday.

Previously, the Jets restructured tight end C.J. Uzomah -- another member of the 2022 class -- and released wide receiver Braxton Berrios.

All told, it's cap savings of more than $21 million.
