The Facts: Jets GM Joe Douglas, asked at the NFL Scouting Combine whether he believes or has been told Enunwa (neck) will play football again, replied: “We’re hopeful.”

Diehards Line: That may be, but recent reports have suggested that Douglas and the Jets may already be looking to Enunwa 14 months after giving him a four-year, $36 million extension. Enunwa should have been one of Sam Darnold’s top receiving options, but instead missed all but the first game of the 2019 season with his second serious neck injury in three seasons. As USA Today recently noted, Douglas and Adam Gase don’t have any ties to Enunwa, so it’s not inconceivable for the Jets to cut him despite him still having three years left on his contract. If the Jets keep Enunwa, he’ll count $7.8 million against the cap in 2020, which is eighth-highest on the team. If they cut him loose, the Jets save $2.4 million but eat $5.4 million in dead money. The Jets have until the fifth day of the 2020 league year – March 22 – to decide on Enunwa before his entire 2020 salary becomes guaranteed only against injury.
