One man's "way around" is another man's "minimize the damage." But, however we cut it, they're in this mess because they built teams to win in 2010 or 2011 but Sanchez didn't get the memo.
I do agree with some of this, but part of the reason they fell apart last year was because they had no depth because they traded away so many draft picks and allocated so much money towards the cap towards the top part of their roster. That is part of their cap heck. Unlike the Pats and other teams who don't typically make their cap top heavy, the Jets needed to rely on scrubs in a lot of areas for back up which hurt them (safety and LB last year).
People say that the Jets aren't in bad cap situation because they have $6 million left on the cap (which they can't spend because they need to push it through to next year) and they have a lot of high priced free agents, but they are woefully thin at several positions including WR and the o-line.
