This number is $54.75 w/o a Percy Harvin verdict. That will add another 10 mil to that number.
The Jets are mandated to spend that money

Let's go shopping on day 1!!

Where did you get that #? I don't think the cap number is officially announced yet and all talk has been about $43 Million... before we cut Harvin...

Either way I agree let's start shopping day 1

$54.75M in cap space, without cutting Harvin. There is no remaining guaranteed money in Harvin's contract so, I ask, why cut him? He is very a talented player who is only in his mid 20's.

because he was and is a marginal WR and is not worth10mm, period. See the thread on him...

He is not worth 10 mil. We could get Maxwell, Iupati and Torrey Smith with that money, and then some

Harvin had 1 really good game for us last year. His 10 mil will come off the books. Seattle whiffed and John Idzik did them a favor last season. He would cost us 10 mil plus our 4th rounder if we keep him. I would rather give Randall Cobb that kind of money. He is at best a 4-5 million dollar WR. And only because of his versatility (at times). He made us no better. The Pats have been linked to having interest to him. Where are the tampering charges there? Oh yeah, it's NE.

A marginal wide receiver and a KR who probably led the NFL in KORs from deep in the end zone to a starting point inside the 20 YL.

10 million and 64 spots lower in draft? Not even worth 2 million IMO.

S'long Percy....maybe the new consultant in Jax or Mr Big Splash in Miami will give you the big bucks

The Pats want him.. They can have him.. Wonder where all that cap room is coming from? I know they are cheating the cap as well.
Brady, Revis? Already 40 million of the cap.

Having a lot of money to spend doesn't mean you will spend the money wisely. We've all seen examples of that. Fingers crossed

MM isn't going to make many moves w/o Cass and Wolf chiming in. Trust me. They will have some input on the 2015 roster.

yes, all this cap space! Hopefully we can use it to find another Dimitri Patterson to solve all of our CB issues!

Byron Maxwell will be a Jet, and Cro will re up. Bowles will have these 2 on lockdown day 1. Both will cost us 11 mil a year. This isn't the Idzick era. Bowles is well respected in the league.

Hopefully, but rumor is he wants to follow Dan Quinn to Atlanta.

Sarge and Clark Kent are right. Even with all that available money, we can be certain that Hickey, er, I mean...Steinberg, er. I mean Bradway.....er, I mean Tanny, er I mean...Idzik will mess it up!!

Wadeasegund...Wadeasegund..I just checked.......none of those guys are with the Jets..

Idzik is gone you really need to let it go already

I know last year we had about $54 mill in cap and needed to sign a top corner I felt, and the cap was $123 mill, so that was a ton of room...and we had to settle. Im not holding my breath we'll "definitely" get a top CB. I think Cro is a lock. I think we want Maxwell and/or Jackson, I think we get Cro. I do think Maxwell will want to help his guy rebuild that team and do it with Matt Ryan. Dont you think that sounds like a healthy jump for maxwell? And dont you think Quinn will help his guy get paid. I just think that's a natural fit.

I think we sign Cro, maybe quickly they get something done in the negotiation window. But I think Mac is going to be all over the place and not just focused on CB. I think he tries to get something in place with Cro, Spiller, and one of the olinemen quickly (that guy Cy was talking about in another thread). I think we're going to pull some names in quickly, but I'm not holding my breath we get one of the big CBs, I think we sign Cro and draft one. The draft seems likely based on our scouts combine focus from all reports.

Cro may not be an elite CB, and I hope he doesn't wear down quickly. I think he'll either be solid, or someone we see wear down quickly with hip and lower body concerns. I dont think he plays the position technically sound enough so that when he starts losing athleticism he'll be as value added at the position. Hopefully Cro is serviceable while we groom a nice prospect (and hopefully McDougle bounces back and puts it together at his own pace with the new coaches).

I never said it was certain we'd mess it up, I said there's no guarantees when it comes to signing Free Agents so we have to hope we spend the money wisely

Maxwell isn't a lock to go to Atlanta. Trust me, he will go where the dollar signs are. We have the cap room to land him on day 1. Atlanta has a cap charge of 120 mil as we speak, that doesn't include their 2015 draft class, plus 2 of their top tier LB. They won;t be able to spend the 7 plus mil a year to bring BM to Atlanta.
We can.
