Jets Create cap Space, Trading JFM to Broncos for Pennies

Chalk this one up as a huge win for the Denver Broncos who acquired Jets defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers for little more than nothing at all. Gang Green accepted a 2026 sixth-round draft choice for one of the most important pieces on their defense.

A player who can be penciled in for at least fifty pressures every year who has the flexibility to play both inside and out goes to Denver for pennies on the dollar.

The move was strictly motivated by their current cap situation which is not good at all. With over $40 million in dead cap according to overthecap.
