New York Jets: 2018 NFL free agency tracker

NFL free agency can move fast, so we’re here to keep you updated on who’s coming and who’s going for the New York Jets.

The New York Jets exceeded expectations in 2017 but need to be competitive in 2018 if general manager Mike Maccagnan and head coach Todd Bowles are going to keep their jobs. One way to improve is through NFL free agency where the Jets had just over $89 million in cap space to spend, according to Sporting News. Only the Cleveland Browns had more money to work with.

Cutting Muhammad Wilkerson helped reach that amount of cap space but also created another hole for Gang Green to fill. With money to spend and needs to address, the Jets are expected to be major players in free agency this offseason.
