9 current or former Jets due to count as dead money in 2024

The Jets made a few moves this offseason to give themselves some breathing room with the salary cap.

And while they do rank near the top ten in total dead money, their $34.5 million, per Over the Cap is at least less than or just above the dead money hits the Denver Broncos will take for both this season ($53 million) and next season ($32 million) for releasing quarterback Russell Wilson.
