jtomm Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 --- Moving money : The Jets have created a whopping $45.2 million in salary cap space by restructuring seven contracts this offseason. That includes all the key free agent acquisitions from 2021 and 2022, including safety Jordan Whitehead, the latest to rework his deal. The glaring exception is wide receiver Corey Davis, who figures to be the next man up. The upside is the added cap flexibility. The downside is having to pay the credit card bill that will arrive a year or two down the road.In six of the seven renegotiated contracts, the Jets added void years, which spreads the cap hit over the term of the contract. The negative: Instead of an expiring contract, which comes off the books entirely, there's an added "dead" charge when the contract voids -- the acceleration of the pro-rated amounts. Let's use defensive end Carl Lawson as an example. He was due to count $15.7 million in the final year of his contract. By restructuring, they lowered it to $3 million, but there's a $6.3 million charge next year when it voids and he becomes a free agent. If the contract had remained untouched, there would've been no cap hit in 2024.All told, the Jets have $9.6 million in void money hitting the cap in 2024 and another $14.2 million in 2025. A lot of teams do it this way: Save today, pay tomorrow. The good news is the Jets currently have the fourth-most cap space at $24.5 million, according to Over the Cap. A chunk of that will be used to absorb Rodgers' contract, which likely will be restructured in the coming weeks. rest of above article >> https://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/92009/why-jets-coach-robert-saleh-expects-aaron-rodgers-to-make-his-job-easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So future years have a bit less of an overall impact.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all just phony numbers that can always be pushed into future years. just look at the saints. In 2021 they were 100 mill over the cap and got under. This off-season they were 55 million over the cap, and still managed to hand out big contracts to players like Derek carr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecuadorian Jet Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Here's what you need to know about the cap: It really doesn't matter. Except, if you are an absolutely incompetent GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
