Salary Cap Update: Jets still have plenty of wiggle room

With free agency essentially done and dusted, the NFL have at last updated the official salary cap position for each team.

Here's where the Jets currently stand:

The NFLPA database currently has the Jets at $19,077,224 in available cap space.

This puts the Jets near the top of the league in available cap space, behind only the Ravens, Chargers, Eagles, Titans and Commanders.

We can confirm that this includes every player currently on the Jets' roster, and does take into account Breece Hall's cap hit based on the franchise tag.

The amount of cap space is a lot lower than you might find on sites such as Spotrac or OTC, who have the Jets at around $40 million. However, that number has been adjusted to take into account the top-51 salaries only. That's an adjustment that will apply when the offseason is over, but doesn't get accounted for at this stage in the official numbers.

Once the cost of signing draft picks is factored in, the Jets should have approximately $16 million more of cap hits to come in, so their effective cap room right now is actually under $25 million. Again, this puts them near the top of the league and should give them plenty of room to make any further moves and still carry some further cap room into next year when they won't have as much dead money to account for.

We'll keep you posted with where things stand as the offseason progresses...
