It's official: Jets have about $55 million in cap space

After weeks of speculation, the final salary-cap number is official: $143.28 million per team, it was announced Monday. What does that mean for the New York Jets? Well, it means they have a lot of money to spend. Let's explain exactly how much. The Jets' adjusted cap is $156.15 million, according to the NFLPA. That figure includes the carryover from last season, $12.6 million -- i.e. unused cap space. Former general manager John Idzik got ripped for being frugal, but there was a method to his madness, so to speak.
