New York Jet salary cap situation for this upcoming offseason

For a 'cap genius", Tannebaum really sucked. He was awful.

We have $142 million in salaries this upcoming year with a $121 million salary cap in the NFL.

At plain site, we can cut and save:

Jason Smith - $12 mil
Calvin Pace - $8.56 mil
Bart Scott - $7.15 mil
Eric Smith - $3.00 mil
Tebow - $1.5 mil

We'd be about $13 million under in that case ($108 mil), with none of these guys really doing much of anything for us this past year.

Give Kenrick Ellis the job and cut Pouha ($3.8 mil savings), and you're at about $105 mil with $16 mil to spend. Pouha didn't do anything this year, the run defense sucked anyway.

Not really an ideal situation in the least for the new GM to deal with. Sanchez, Holmes and Harris's contracts are killing us vs what their production has been. About $38 million.

Keller, Greene and Devito have to be sure goners. No way we're paying them.

We need to re-sign Landry as well as acquire top offensive targets (Reggie Bush, Beanie Wells, Steven Jackson; Greg Jennings, Dwayne Bowe, Wes Welker; Jared Cook, Fred Davis; Michael Vick, Joe Flacco are the top skill position players).

The running back group sucks. The Jets need to target Bowe, Jennings or Welker. I wouldn't mind targeting Bowe & Vick, trying to trade Sanchez and drafting a starting running back.

Who knows if this is all possible with seemingly a crappy cap situation. But I thought this would be very useful to all Jet fans.

Way to screw us Tanny. The team needs to build through the draft.

I really would not be surprised if this team does absolutely nothing besides cuts and very minor signings due to the cap space.

Does this number include FA such as Landry expected to leave?

build the team through the draft please

I remember reading one time before that we have 7 guys that take up 80 million worth of cap space and we will have like 46 million for the rest of the 53 man roster or something to that effect.

ehhhhhhh this isnt news, we knew we were screwed already.
