As the New York Jets are currently buzzing about with a very limited budget due to salary cap restrictions, I think it's appropriate to give periodical updates on how the team is doing spending its money.
Total Salary Cap | $123,900,000 |
Current Cap Number | $109,723,383 |
Rookie Wage Pool Cap Hit | $2,302,020 |
In-Season Transactions | ~$2,000,000 |
Unused Cap Space | $9,874,597 |
Here is some information on the 2013 cap hits of the new acquisitions via free agency.
Antwan Barnes | $1,050,000 |
David Garrard | $1,100,000 |
Willie Colon | $1,200,000 |
Mike Goodson | $1,641,666 |
Antonio Garay | Numbers Unavailable |
Although Garay's numbers were unavailable, it should be in line with the other players, which is to say a bit more than $1,000,000. Consider this. Thus far, John Idzik has signed five free agents for a total of approximately $6,000,000 or so. Of those players, assuming they're healthy, all five are potential starters. And there's still a lot of free agency left.
