Jets Player Release
August 29, 2010Coles Is Done? Pace Out 4-6 Weeks
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
WR Laveranues Coles was released by the Jets earlier today and it looks like his career is pretty much over. By not putting him on the opening-day roster, the Gang Green will avoid having to pay his entire base salary -- $855,000. They can re-sign him and pay him on a game-to-game basis -- $50,294. Coles, however, does not need the money and will most likely retire. From the day he re-signed with the Jets, a few days before training camp, Coles made it clear this was going to be his last stop. The Jets trimmed their roster to 75 players, and Coles, in his third stint with the team, was one of the victims.
According to several sources, the New York Jets released OG Alan Faneca, a 9-time Pro Bowler who joined the Gang Green in 2008 as a free agent. In 2008 Faneca signed a 5-year contract worth $40M, which included $21M in guaranteed money. His playing level noticeably degraded at the end of last season and the Jets obviously thought that his salary of $7.5M this season ($5.25M guaranteed) was a bit too much.
April 2, 2010Jay Feely To Sign With Cardinals

According to ESPN, PK Jay Feely is expected to sigh a 2-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals where he will join another former Jet, S Kerry Rhodes. Feely's departure will leave the Jets with only PK Nick Folk, who was signed by the team on February 23. Folk was cut by the Cowboys in Week 15 last season after converting just 18 of 28 field goal attempts.
According to ESPN.com, the New York Jets released CB Lito Sheppard, who was signed as a free agent before the last season. Sheppard was due a $10M roster bonus, so this move was pretty much expected, considering that Sheppard had a subpar season at best.

DE Shaun Ellis will be in the lineup next week, as his one game suspension is over. Ellis was suspended by the league due to a 2008 arrest for marijuana possession. The Jets also released CB Marquice Cole, who was inactive for yesterday's game, to make room for Ellis on the 53-man roster.

Fan favorite RB Danny Woodhead lasted only one day on the Jets' active roster, as the Gang Green waived him along with RB Brandon Renkart, P Reggie Hodges and OT Mike Kracalik to make room for four new additions they acquired on Sunday.

August 15, 2009Jets Waive Two, Add Depth To Offensive Line
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
The man who most likely cost the Jets a victory last night, WR Paul Raymond, was waived earlier today in a rather predictable move by the Jets. QB Chris Pizzotti, who was #4 on the depth chart and did not see any action last night, was let go as well. Additionally, the Gang Green signed OG Dennis Conley, an undrafted free agent who was waived last month by the Bears.
The New York Jets have parted ways with their #1 WR Laveranues Coles. The Gang Green, reaching a compromise with Coles, who wanted to renegotiate his contract into a long-term deal the team wanted no part of, restructured Coles' contract to allow him to become an unrestricted free agent at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow.
QB Brett Favre has told the New York Jets that he's retiring from professional football. Favre had instructed his agent, James Cook, to inform the Jets on Wednesday that he is retiring. Jets team executives and coach Rex Ryan confirmed the retirement in a statement, saying they talked to Favre on Wednesday morning about his decision. Favre, a future Hall of Famer, spent last season with the Jets, throwing for 3,472 yards, 22 TD, 22 INT.

The New York Jets have announced they have waived WR David Ball, OG Jacob Bender, WR Larry Brackins, DB Rudy Burgess, RB Jehuu Caulcrick, OL Stanley Daniels, OL Kyle DeVan, OL Nate Garner, SS James Ihedigbo, DL Thomas Johnson, DL Bryan Mattison, OL Matt McChesney, LB Blair Phillips, DL Ropati Pitoitua, TE Jason Pociask, WR Paul Raymond, LB Brandon Renkart and TE A.J. Schable.
The New York Jets have released QB Chad Pennington to clear up salary cap space for the recently acquired QB Brett Favre. Pennington, who was drafted in the first round in 2000, has spent his entire injury plagued career with the Jets. His best year was 2002 when he took over as the starting quarterback and posted an amazing QB rating of 104.2, leading the Gang Green to the playoffs.
