FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:
1. A real capper: The NFL's salary cap world can create some weird situations. For instance: The Jets are paying Geno Smith $3.3 million to be their starter and Justin Fields $8 million to be the Kansas City Chiefs' backup.
It's not ideal. Neither is the fact that Fields and Aaron Rodgers, their last two opening-day starters, are eating up $48 million in cap space (about 16%) because of "dead" charges.
