Been working on this continually, post it here and there but it is a week out of date, no Hicks, Allen on P.S. ...

NYJ FUTURE 2013 OUTLOOK-

$121 Million EXPECTED 2013 Cap Figure
$140.5 Million ALREADY 2013 Cap Committed

$19.5 Million OVER Current 2013 Cap Figure...

2013 EXPIRING CONTRACTS-
*Whole List In VALUE Order Below

UFA-
1. TE Dustin Keller
2. SS LaRon Landry
3. LE Mike DeVito
4. K Nick Folk*
5. FB Lex Hilliard
6. RB Shonn Greene*
7. FS Yerimiaha Bell
8. RG Brandon Moore
9. LG Matt Slauson
10. LOLB Bryan Thomas
11. ROLB Aaron Maybin
12. WR Chaz Schilens

RFA-
1. RT Austin Howard
2. TE Jeff Cumberland
3. LS Tanner Purdham
4. ILB Josh Mauga

ERFA-
1. CB Isaiha Trufant

12 UFA's, 4 RFA's, and 1 ERFA; 17 total free agents whom contracts are expiring. Based on the 53 man roster for 2012 all 17 players present pros and cons to being brought back, but all 17 players do or did have individual roles on this team though in 2012.

2013 EXPECTED SALARY CAP REALEASES-
Only 4 contracts are worth shedding but they are 4 that are worthy of makings the moves for the money it will save. A player like RT Jason Smith, or even SS Eric Smith could always be retained at a cheaper price for special teams and leadership.

RT Jason Smith brings the biggest savings of the off-season with $12 Million dollars coming off the books clean with a zero cap hit when Smith gets the axe. If the FO liked what they saw in '12 he is young enough with a high enough cieling to be considered worth a roster spot in Wayne Hunter's old "swing" tackle role.

ILB Bart Scott would save $5.5 Million off the cap. This is why I feel the talk of him getting released prior to this year was crazy. Waiting for 2013 saved us with $1.5 Million cap hit and a $7 Million savings. Demario Davis will be primed and ready by then.

ROLB Calvin Pace represents a $5.5 Million savings by cutting the underwhelming OLB in 2013. A cap hit of $3 Million would be dead money, but it would come with a savings of $8.5 Million. The Outside Linebacker position will be hurting but will be a draft day fix for sure, right?

SS Eric Smith would be a savings of $3 Million if the team would need to shave off a little more space for a big move. Smith can be cut with no cap hit whatsoever, and is just a must for the money saved much alike Jason Smith's deal above.

TOTAL-

$19.5 Million OVER 2013 Cap
+$26 Million Room MADE In Cuts

$6.5 Million UNDER Cap Total...

POSSIBLE 2013 CAP ROOM-
- $4-$6 Million cap credit from the 2012 salary cap left over money. This number surely can fluxuate due to injuries in the season but if the roster is not tweaked with any type of sizeable contract $5 million is a number that is feasable.

- CB Darrelle Revis getting "paid" as some would say would actually help the Jets. All hands on deck because it is time and maybe overdue for getting the long term deal both he, an the fans have been craving. The key to this negotiation is getting the deal that will lock him in for the long term and not just one that will get by. Revis getting that deal with the Jets cutting a sizeable chunck up front can give a little wiggle room cap wise in the form of $3-$5 Million.

- C Nick Mangold can do the restructure that has almost become expected when "long term" deals are signed now. Mangold is not only the type of guy and player that would do this, but again to get this done Woody Johnson is cutting a nice check to turn salary into bonus and who turns down a multi million dollar check? Mangold could releive anywhere from $3-$5 Million much alike the Revis cap relief.*

3 POTENTIAL COSTLY SALARY CUTS-
*Only Feasible Players NOT Suggestions

1. WR Santonio Holmes-
Holmes would potentially be $11.25 million in dead money if released, yeilding only a $1.25 million dollar cap relief. This savings *would be nice with how pressing the salary cap situation is, but even though he looks like "addition by subtraction" can we afford to cut Santonio with a huge need for offensive playmakers?

2. ILB David Harris-*
Harris is a release I just could not see, having said that $9 million in *dead money hurts, but $4 million *saved is a free agent or two alone and with our cap situation it is discussable. David looks like he may have lost a step but even with the huge contract "Hitman" has to stay in the middle, right?

3. NT Sione Pouha-
Pouha represents a reasonable $2.3 million dead money hit, as well as offering the best value of the proposed players with $3.85 million saved. Sione signed this deal just last season but back issues are very tricky, let alone on a 325 lbs. man. Can Kenrick Ellis and or Damon Harrison fill these big shoes if need be?
