When the new league year arrives Wednesday, all teams must be at or under the cap, and due to the lowered figure, teams are expected to release a large number of players into the street free agency market to either get under the cap or create space to sign unrestricted as well as restricted free agents.
Also in advance of the start of UFA, franchise player designations were announced last week for the UFA signing period. Each club can designate one "franchise" player or one "transition" player among its veteran free agents.
Ten teams did that, including the Jets, who tagged safety Marcus Maye as a non-exclusive franchise player, using their franchise tag for the first time since 2016 (Muhammad Wilkerson) and for only the fifth time since 2006.
With unrestricted free agency set to begin and more street free agents than usual on the market, all teams are revving up, while continuing to sign their own UFA candidates, to add new veterans to their rosters. In the Jets' case, Saleh will be eager to welcome new players aboard to help him, his staff and all holdover players to implement new schemes on offense and defense and to assist in instilling a new culture on the Green & White.
Underlying it all will be a renewed sense of effectively exchanging ideas in all areas of the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center.
"Joe's made it very clear that he wants collaborative communication," Saleh said. "He wants us to be all in this together, scouts, coaching staff, everybody within the organization speaking the same language and having a great amount of communication with regards to everything that happens in this building."
