Every year as free agency and the draft approaches there seems to be a rush for information regarding just exactly where your favorite team stands in regards to the NFL Salary Cap. Do we have money to spend? Do we need to cut our stars? Can we afford a high draft selection? Hopefully this page helps the Jets fan answer those questions. In addition we have some other features on the site besides the salary cap data. We have a full up to date transactions page, future salary cap estimates, and a list off all the upcomings Jets free agents. The articles page is a collection of my thoughts on the salary cap, the state of the team, game previews, and the NFL in general, complete with a blog style comments section for all to use.
Calculating the salary cap in the NFL is near impossible, especially if you are a fan of a tight lipped franchise like the New York Jets. The Jets are ridiculously quiet about their contracts, leaking out bits and pieces of information here and there regarding their players. While we will make every attempt to be accurate in our reporting of the salary cap numbers released by the Jets, please remember that this is an inexact science and that there will be mistakes along the way. We have collected data from reputable sources such as the NFL Players Association, USA Todays NFL Salary Database, and various beat writers who follow the Jets. In many cases we will estimate bonus amounts trying to fill out a contract where it seems accurate based on tidbits of information that has been reported. If you have any contract information that you would like to share please email us with the information.
If you see any errors or have any questions please just send an email so we can try to get the most reliable information online for all of us fans.
