Jets' Future Salary Cap, NFL Draft Picks, Depth Chart amid Firing of GM Joe Douglas
The Jets can open up $30 million in cap space by releasing star receiver Davante Adams, who was acquired in a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders and was never expected to be paid his $35.6 million salary for the 2025 season, per
Over The Cap.
If Rodgers returns next season, he would likely have to reduce his $49 million cap hit. The Jets would incur a
$14 million dead money hit next season if the soon-to-be 41-year-old is released with a post-June 1 designation.

Looking Ahead to the Jets 2025 Roster and Salary Cap Decisions
The Jets are currently 15th in projected cap space for 2025, but that number is a bit misleading as it
includes Davantae Adams $35.6 million salary which nobody expected him to ever earn with the Raiders when he signed that deal nor with the Jets when they traded for him.
His release will open up about $30 million in salary cap space to put the Jets near the $80 million mark for cap room, which is right around 5th in the NFL.
With Rodgers and Adams gone the Jets would officially be back into rebuilding mode, likely with a new general manager and coaching staff. The team would face big decisions about whether they go into full tear down mode or attempt to string things together with some of the current players. Any GM will be faced with major decisions on the few players the Jets have who are considered good talent. These players include Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Breece Hall, and Quincy Williams.
