The Jets added to their pass rush depth when they signed former Texans defensive end Jacob Martin to a three-year, $15.5 million deal. - Like a lot of the contracts Joe Douglas offered this offseason, Martin’s comes with a low cap hit in 2022 before increasing in Year 2. His cap hits are $2.69 million in 2022, $6.15 million in 2023 and $4.65 million in 2024, according to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes. - Similarly, Martin’s base salary goes from $1.035 million in 2022 to $4.25 million in 2023 and then $3.5 million in 2024. He also has a $3.465 million signing bonus and roster bonuses in each of the next two seasons for $500,000 in 2022 and $750,000 in 2023. Martin can also earn $3 million in incentives in 2024. - Only Martin’s 2022 base salary and $1 million of his 2023 salary are guaranteed. - If the Jets cut Martin after the 2022 season, they’ll save $4 million but incur a $3.3 million dead cap hit. If they cut him after 2023, they’ll save $3.5 million with just $1.15 million in dead cap. - - List - - 5 things to know about new Jets DE Jacob Martin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Jets Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Jets Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
