RPT: Jets already consider Holmes' cap hit free cash

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Santonio Holmes has the fourth-biggest salary cap number for the New York Jets in 2014, and two of the three players ahead of him are expected to be released prior to the start of free agency.

Make it three.

Holmes, who is slated to make nearly $11 million next season (according to overthecap.com), isn't expected back with the team next year -- at least where he stands now financially, as he'd save the Jets upwards of $8 million if they were to cut him.
