The NFL saw June 1 come and go. For fans, it's just another day.
In terms of the football calendar, it's an important date for just about every team in the league.
The reason June 1 is a highlighted occasion is because that is the date every dollar on a team's salary cap must then be accounted for.
Prior to that, teams can designate with certain roster moves with such mechanisms as a post-June 1 move. This applies specifically to how teams manage cap charges for a player removed from a roster, either via release or trade.
With all that dust settled, one area of the salary cap affected is dead cap space. That is a lump sum of dollars a team has designated toward former contracts that are still counting against the current salary cap... hence the name "dead" cap space.
The total of dead cap space for each team in the NFL currently, including the New York Jets, can be found from most to least below (according to OverTheCap):
Dead cap: $179,214,257.
Dead cap: $116,820,743.
