Aww, poor NY team can’t buy their way into a pro sports playoff every year due to a salary cap? How will they ever be good on an equal playing field?? I feel so bad for them.

I mean they're in the same division as the Patriots... I wouldn't call the Jets the Yankees of the NFL, they don't even have their own stadium they just play when the Giants are on away games.

My point is that they aren’t allowed to be the Mets/Yankees of the NFL because the NFL has a spending limit.

Only team that has dominated in the NFL is the Patriots - and I don’t see too many players outside of the early teams saying they enjoyed their time there. Boston sports has been 10x more prolific with salaried teams.

Also your argument is off - Mets last won 35+ years ago and the Giants, with a cap, have won 2 super bowls in the past 20. Bills have been good in NY with a cap.

The Jets are the Devils/Islanders/Nets of the NFL — clearly less popular than a more established team (Rangers/Knicks).
