We have been hearing for years from Dolphins fans that the Jets will be in "cap hell" yet every year they manage to do just fine managing the cap. Seriously though, why should Jets fans care about the cap especially considering there won't be a cap.I never argued that some old guys cant play good. Brett Favre at 40 for example.
Ricky Williams is a Heisman trophy winner

Jason Taylor
A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Taylor was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2006, and is the NFL's all time leader in fumble return touchdowns (6).New York Jets Salary Cap
Taylor has also won the "AFC Defensive Player of the Week" Award seven times which is fifth most ever by a defensive player

He is the Miami Dolphins all-time career sack leader with 117 and counting
But let's look a little beyond sacks. Strahan had 22 forced fumbles. Taylor has 36. Strahan had four interceptions. Taylor has eight.

2009
NFL Salary Cap Limit: $127,997,000
Jets Adjusted Cap: $129,278,924
Current Estimated Cap Space: $808,335
Jets Rookie Allotment: $3,429,442
It's been out there for some time now that the Miami Dolphins have roughly $24 million in cap space to work with when it comes time to restock the roster this offseason.
Teams approaching, or are over the NFL's $123 million salary cap are: New England ($119 million), Dallas ($121 million), Indianapolis ($128 million), the New York Jets ($125 million), New Orleans ($130 million), and Washington ($131 million).
Take note that there are two AFC East teams (the Jets and Patriots) in the hemorrhaging area of this list (It's perfectly fine to let out a cheer).
The Bills have a lot more cap space than the Dolphins, but who really wants to play in Buffalo, so don't expect the Bills to make much of a slash in free agency.
Sounds like somebody spent to much money.
Bottomline is this Jets team is young, talented and built for the long term.
