Jets cap space: How much salary cap space the New York Jets have, how they can add more

The New York Jets wrapped up their second season under head coach Robert Saleh and saw some improvement. The team went 7-10 a year removed from a 4-13 performance thanks primarily to their defense. Zach Wilson appeared in nine games and struggled to get on track.

That has the Jets now firmly in the rumor mix for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Garoppolo. There will be competitive markets at the quarterback position, but their Super Bowl odds reflect a team likely to upgrade the quarterback position. The Jets head into free agency with +2500 odds to win the Super Bowl and +380 odds to win the AFC East at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The team needs to clear more salary cap space, but it's safe to expect them to work hard to make a big splash in the quarterback market. An upgrade at quarterback coupled with another pass catcher could be enough to get them into the playoffs.
