JD’s overall CAP management is excellent, Dead money numbers show what Douglas has had to overcome financially, and how heathy the Jets are now. Speaking of health , the Health Care and Performance Center is an innovative initiative that coordinates Health services for the player , to see the players needs as a whole , to maximize the players potential. Great job Joe, hope it works. If the Jets keep 10 Defensive Lineman , is there a spot for Vinny ? Who do you cut ? A plethora of talented Lineman.

Absolutely agree there, the swing in dead cap is phenomenal and his work is really starting to pay now, some tough decisions lay ahead if all these young guys work out, won't be easy to fit them all under the cap, but that's a good problem to have.

Narrowing this defensive line group down to 10 is going to be difficult, even more difficult if we only carry 9 which is what we did last year.

Quinnen, JFM, Lawson, Johnson, Clemons and Martin all seem very likely.

Rankins, Huff, Curry all seem good possibilities to me.

Which leaves one spot for: Anae, Marshall, Hamilcar, Shepherd, Smart, Thomas, Ward and Zuniga.

Marshall getting the last spot.

Will Vinny Curry make the final roster? Keeping 10 or more DL seems like overkill

It's a tough one. We carried 9 defensive lineman last year, with the talent in that group I could see us carrying 10...but even then I'm not sure. He has that veteran leadership and he's been productive whenever he's played but if everyone is healthy it's going to be a hard position group to break down.
