Gilchrist's injury, plus his $13.3 million salary-cap hit over the next two seasons, made him the most expendable of the remaining safeties on the roster; general Mike Maccagnan implied as much on SiriusXM NFL Radio soon after the release was announced. Gilchrist will only count $1.25 million in dead cap money in 2017, according to Spotrac. Along with Adams, Maye and Pryor, the Jets will go into the summer with Rontez Miles ($615K), Ronald Martin ($615K) and Doug Middleton ($540K).
