Beyond the cap moves they must make, the Jets’ other looming decisions are an extension for Quinnen Williams and what to do with their own free agents.
There are several players who could be cut in the coming weeks in order to get under the cap by March 15, when the new league year begins. WR Corey Davis , WR Braxton Berrios , OT Duane Brown and S Jordan Whitehead are all candidates. None of them was overly productive in 2022, some because of injuries and others just because they did not perform well. The Jets would get close to $30 million under the cap with these moves.
The Jets would clear close to $12 million more by restructuring the contract of LB C.J. Mosley, who made the Pro Bowl last year and continues to play at a high level. Mosley’s 2023 salary is currently $17 million. The Jets can lower the cap hit by making most of that money a bonus, which would be prorated over the next four years.
The most interesting decision the Jets will have when it comes to cap space regards DE Carl Lawson. They could clear another $15.4 million by cutting Lawson, but he was a productive player in 2022. You can argue that moving on from Lawson would clear more playing time for Jermaine Johnson and Micheal Clemons, but head coach Robert Saleh loves his defensive line rotation, and Lawson was a key piece of the defense this year.
Here are the notable players I think the Jets will let walk: C Connor McGovern, OT George Fant, QB Joe Flacco and S Lamarcus Joyner.There are three notable players I think the Jets have to make a decision on: QB Mike White, DT Solomon Thomas and LB Kwon Alexander. White is the most interesting one. He could command around $5 million as a top backup option in free agency.
