CanadaSteve Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 While the projected cap is now looking like a possibility of $143 million, giving the Jets currently about $41 million space (and $51 if we cut Harvin), next year is even MORE ridiculous. If Harvin is cut this year, his salary is off the book for 2016. D'Brick will either have to restructure in 2016, or face a potential cut. He would count $5 million in dead money, but he would save over $9 million cap space. It's pretty much a guarantee he will restructure, because his dead money in 2017 is only $1 million compared to a $14 million cap savings. Nick Mangold's contract for 2016 and 2017 are fully non-guaranteed That would mean about $8.5 million saved in 2016, and $9.5 million in 2017. I am also presuming they will eat $1 million for Breno in 2016 and save almost $4 million What does this mean? Well, if Harvin is gone, Breno is cut, and IF both D'Brick and Mangold were deemed expendable for 2016, we would have almost $100,000,000 in cap space WITHOUT the cap going up a dime. You read that right....$100 million dollars I think it is safe to say, the New York Jets will be investing in some of their own young players, and spending some money in free agency.
