Actually, they are currently about $20 million over according to Jason at NY Jets Cap (their Miguel). They can cut Pace, Scott, Jason Smith, and Eric Smith to save about $30 million under the cap. They will have about $4 million to carry over from this year. So they will be about $12-15 million under the cap next year.
The thing is they are likely losing or in need to re-sign starter at RB (Greene), TE (Keller), RT (ok, Austin Howard is a RFA and likely to be back if they want him), both OLB spots and their primary back up (Pace, Thomas, and Maybin) , both safeties (Landry and Bell along with back up Eric Smith), one ILB (Scott), DE (DeVito), K (Folk), LG (Brandon Moore), and WR (Chaz Scheilens who is starting with Holmes out). That is going to cost a lot of money.
Moore is a very good guard and will command decent money. Landry took an one year deal this year to try to cash in next year. Keller will be paid somewhere.
