As the New York Jets prepare for the post-Aaron Rodgers era, managing the cap fallout from his departure will be the first obstacle to overcome.
Rich Cimini of ESPN reported that New York will inherit $49 million in "dead" money but will likely spread this across 2025 and 2026. This would mean that New York would have $14 million in "dead cap" in 2025 and that number would escalate to $35 million in 2026.
"The Jets are left with $49 million in "dead" money, which can be spread over two years if he's designated a post-June 1 cut," Cimini wrote.
