Good morning Gang Green Nation! It’s National Salary Cap Day. Yeah, that’s not a thing, but today is June 2, when salary cap space from post June 1 cuts hits the books in the NFL. With the additional cap space provided by the Jets cutting Aaron Rodgers and C.J. Mosley, the New York Jets now have more than $36 million in 2025 cap space according to Overthecap.com. The good news: the Jets now have the fourth most 2025 cap space in the NFL. The bad news: the Jets have the fifth most dead money in the NFL in 2025 at more than $63+ million. In 2026 the Jets have by far the most dead money in the NFL at $42+ million. That’s more than double the dead money of the next closest NFL team in 2026. In 2025 and 2026 combined the Jets have nearly $106 million in dead money, good for second most in the NFL, trailing only the San Francisco 49ers. That’s a lot of cap space going to players no longer on the Jets, and it is a significant impediment to building the Jets into a contender going forward. Thanks Joe Douglas.
