Salary Cap Figures for AFC East Clubs

PrintPat Yasinskas from ESPN provided 2011 salary cap figures for all NFL teams. Here is the breakdown for all the AFC East teams.
Buffalo Bills: $96.4
Miami Dolphins: $103.1
New York Jets: $128.5
New England Patriots: $102.3
The Jets have the third most money committed to players under contract for 2011, behind Dallas and Green Bay. The rest of the division are around the middle of the pack. Tampa Bay has the least amount of money dedicated to players in 2011 at $59.7.
If the salary cap structure is similar to the past system, the salary cap should be around $145 million, leaving the Jets $16.5 million to work with. It's been reported the Jets may use the franchise tag on David Harris. In 2010, the franchise tag for his position is $9.6 million. Estimating the figure to rise, the Jets will now have around $6 million dedicated to 2011 players.
The Dolphins, Patriots, and Bills have have ample room to sign players, but so will many other franchises. Fortunately for Miami, they don't have any stellar players, such as Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, entering free agency. Perhaps the biggest name entering free agency for Miami is breakout NT Paul Soliai. Miami has been active early in free agency under this regime, bringing Justin Smiley and Karlos Dansbyon the first day of free agency over the past few years. Here's to hoping Miami goes back to the OG position on the first day of free agency and go after Logan Mankins, assuming he doesn't receive the franchise tag again.

I am surprised by the Jets
and they have several high FA as well (Holmes, Brad Smith, Edwards, Harris, Cromartie to name a few). Unless they do some massive salary restructuring (especially with Revis) I don’t see how they would be able to sign Asomugha.
On the "get Jake Locker in the draft no matter what it takes" bandwagon
They went for "SB now."
It was all the talk last year. I believe they gave away a fair amount of drafts picks, as well.
Almost got’em there but not quite.

You are surprised?
This was a hot topic around here during the 2010 offseason, we have been collectively waiting for The Jets fall from their short-lived grace in 2011.

I am surprised because it doesn't include the players mentioned.
I knew they had a high payroll but I didn’t realize it would be that high into the 2011 season. I guess Revis takes a big dent out of their salary cap. Once the CBA is signed it will be interesting to see who we go after.

So how do they keep?
It seems out of Braylon, Santonio, and Cro they can only keep one (according to your numbers). I’d guess they’d keep Holmes. What do you guys think?
I think Holmes is the choice
I think Holmes is the next priority after Harris. The Jets may rely on Wilson to replace Cromartie. They can then go with Holmes and Cotchery as their starting WRs and look for someone to operate out of the slot.
Don't the Jets have 1, 3, 4, in the first five rounds?
If so, they would be tradin’.

Correct
They may be trading back though too. They won’t be able to trade the picks for players because of the CBA. Even if one was in place, the Jets would still have to make a trade for a player that keeps them under the cap.
The smart move would be to trade those picks for extra picks next year.

we should go after Holmes and Mankins
what would they cost? Holmes 5 a year mankins 12 ballpark. Then we could trade maybe Crowder for a 4 most likley 5 trade the 1st round pick to save the money, pick up a second this year and maybe a 3 next, that would help trade power next year to move up. Just ramblings

Free Agency and Trades
I’d say Holmes is probably worth $7 million per year and Mankins is close to $9 or $10 mil. I don’t see why people are so high on trading Crowder. He was much more effective than Tim Dobbins was this past season. Crowder also comes pretty cheap for a starting ILB so it isn’t like Miami needs to dump him to save money.
I am one of the few who sees Crowder's worth.
How quickly we forget the lack of Run D when he’s injured.

Crowder really isn't appreciated enough
He isn’t flashy, but the Dolphins run defense definitely takes a hit when he is out. He also fared better in coverage than Dobbins did this year. I’m really not a fan in creating another position of need all for a 4th round pick.
i want to see misi
moved to the inside. i think he could make us all forget about crowder
im not as think as you drunk i am occifer.....

Im not saying he isnt worth the money, but Edds was brought in to replace him,yes Crowder is better than Dobbins
but if somehow we could get a good pick for him I would be all in and draft a younger version of him for cheaper. I think FA will be the biggest move for us this off season, Mankins, holmes ,Williams,Ashhowever you spell his name, we need 2 of them first off mainly Mankins!!!

Edds or a rookie?
There is no guarantee that any of them would be a suitable replacement for Crowder. I really don’t like the thought of trading most starters for late round picks, especially if there isn’t a blossoming player there to replace them.
PLEASE PLEASE
I truly hope the FO gets Mankins, he will be a huge FA to get, IMO, the most important task of this offseason is to get Mankins
