New GM John Idzik is known as a salary-cap guru. Well, he'll have to do a lot of "guru-ing" to fix the Jets. The team's 10 highest cap figures account for $110 million of the projected $120 million cap. Obviously some of these players will be cut to create room, but it still will be a tight squeeze.
The 10 highest cap charges for 2013:
LB David Harris -- $13 million
QB Mark Sanchez -- $12.8 million
WR Santonio Holmes -- $12.5 million
OT Jason Smith -- $12 million
LB Calvin Pace -- $11.6 million
CB Antonio Cromartie -- $10.8 million
LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson -- $10.7 million
C Nick Mangold -- $9.1 million
CB Darrelle Revis -- $9 million
LB Bart Scott -- $8.7 million

For those who want Idzik to cut Goodson asap to send message: He's deliberate on big decisions, i.e Revis, Tebow. Figures to do same here.

Idzik's interest in QB market, post-Garrard, shows he's not content with Sanchez/Smith. He wants options. Hardly a vote of conf for Sanchez.
