After next year the Jets will have $12.6M in cap space and 13 roster players signed. With PLD becoming an RFA, and several UFAs including Stastny having to be replaced or re-signed. Wheeler is 34 and making $8,25 for 3 more seasons. That contract is going to look bad pretty quickly if he hits a wall.
I suppose they may try and move PLD and cap dump Stastny.
