The deadline for franchise tagged players and their teams to reach a long-term deal came and went on Monday afternoon, as Le’Veon Bell, DeMarcus Lawrence and Ezekiel Ansah, among others, failed to land new contracts.

That’s great news for the Jets, who could be interested in each player by the time next offseason rolls around. A team on the rise, New York is projected to have upwards of $100 million in cap space.

Much like the Los Angeles Rams, who made the playoffs in 2017, the Jets drafted a young, talented core and have already begun filling out their roster with some of the best players in the NFL via trade and free agency. Expect that strategy to continues next offseason with some of the aforementioned names, and others, available.

For now, let’s take a look at how Monday’s events potentially impact the future of Gang Green.
