With the 2024 offseason underway for the New York Jets, much work will need to be done to get the team back into contention after another disappointing 7-10 season full of injuries yet again.
While the Jets have plenty of key free agents to contend with, they do have some core players set to come back. Overall, the Jets currently have 53 players under contract, according to Over the Cap. We’ll take a quick look at those players and their current cap charges for the 2024 season. This does not include players such as Duane Brown and Jordan Whitehead who will have their contracts voided this offseason but still have dead money count against the cap.
Certainly these numbers can and will change through restructures. But for now, here is where things stand.
