SMC Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 3M? You're using the wrong math. Sanchez's money comes out of the rookie pool which is the cap within a cap. The Jets were slotted with a certain amount they can pay to rookies. The Jets still have over $9 million in cap space. The Sanchez contract comes out of the Jets' rookie pool and doesn't affect money that would be available to give RB Leon Washington a new deal. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/06/qb_mark_sanchez_signs_deal_wit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie salaries still count on the regular cap, however, in year 1, there can only be X for Rookies (I forget what the Jets were assigned) so the rest if bonuses in year 2 and beyond.

Odds are Sanchez will only carry a cap hit this year somewhere between 2.5 and 2.7 million. The Jets were only allotted 3.4 million to use on rookies. I believe we should be around 12 million right now in cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenranger Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 According to nyjetscap.com we have $13,346,848 to spend, but this isn't updated yet to include the Sanchez deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet even LOWER than that.. sure, they only have 2 more draftees to pick, but undrafted guys count in that queue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDFA base salaries do not count towards the rookie pool, just their signing bonuses. We gave our guys 2 grand each, so even if they all get cut its only 20K.
