The contracts for four New York Jets<\/a> players have been voided with the team.<\/p>\n

Void years are baked into contracts that were previously signed, which means all of these players were already going to be free agents.<\/p>\n

The idea is to help spread out the player’s salary cap hit over a longer period upon first putting ink to paper. It helps initially, but now the dead-cap hits for each of these individuals will count against New York’s salary cap even though they are set to become free agents.<\/p>\n

Those cap his can change if the player eventually re-signs with the Jets, which is still possible. As of now, combined, those four will count $13.375 million against the salary cap as dead-cap hits according to Spotrac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That now begs the question, who are the four?<\/p>\n
