The Jets spent a good portion of the spring playing some salary-cap gymnastics. There were three reasons for this: the Jets needed the space in general, they need to eventually extend Quinnen Williams (which is still yet to happen) and they had to fit Aaron Rodgers into the mix when they traded for him.
Players such as Jordan Whitehead and Carl Lawson, to name a few, saw their contracts get reworked to give New York some breathing room. They also currently have all of Rodgers’ option bonus money pushed into 2024.
