Jets Player Release
November 28, 2011Jets Release Cook, DeVito Out Against Washington
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
According to various reports, the New York Jets released S Emanuel Cook earlier today. S Tracy Wilson will be elevated from practice squad to take Cook's place on the active roster. Cook was signed by the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and released before the start of the 2009 season. He was then briefly signed in 2010 and released again. Later that year Cook was re-signed by the Jets to a 3-year deal following the injury to safety S Jim Leonhard. Cook received no signing bonus, so his release won't cost the Jets anything in the future.

posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
Rookie DE Muhammad Wilkerson was fined $10K for his fight with Giants RB Brandon Jacobs during the teams' preseason game last month. Jacobs was hit with a $20K fine, as this wasn't his first offense. Both players were ejected after shoving at each other in the second half of the Jets' 17-3 win on Aug. 29. Wilkerson, 21, will start for the Jets in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
The New York Jets have just a few hours left to trim their roster down to the required 53. They cut 16 players yesterday, reducing the squad size to 61, which means that 8 more players have to be let go today. WR Scotty McKnight is the only this year's draft pick who didn't make the roster thus far, as he was among yesterday's casualties.

August 30, 2011Jets Defeat Giants, As Starting Offense Struggles
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
QB Mark Sanchez completed only 8 of his 16 passes for a total of 64 yards, 1 TD, but big plays on defense and special team were all that the Jets needed to defeat their crosstown rivals and win the inaugural Metlife Bowl, 17-3. CB Antonio Cromartie's 68-yard kickoff return to the GIants' 35-yard line gave the struggling Jets offense an excellent field position late in the second quarter. Six plays later Sanchez connected with WR Santonio Holmes on a 17-yard TD pass, which was Sanchez' longest completion of the night. This turned out to be the game winning score, as the Gang Green took a 7-3 lead.

posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
The New York Jets released two quarterbacks earlier this morning - QB Mark Brunell and QB Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell was scheduled to make $480K this year. Brunell was due to make $1.25M this season. Brunell is expected to be signed back once the situation with CB Nnamdi Asomugha is resolved. By cutting Brunell now the Gang Green will save about $250K.
March 2, 2011Jets Officially Let Gholston Go, Hartsock Cut As Well
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
LB/DE Vernon Gholston, arguably the biggest bust in the Jets' history, has been released by the Gang Green. Gholston, 24, was selected at #6 overall in the 2008 NFL Draft and expected to become the dominant pass-rusher that the Jets had not had since they traded DE John Abraham to the Falcons. It didn't take long, however, to realize that Gholston just wasn't the player the Jets hoped he would be. Despite being a projected started in the 2008 season, Gholston did not start a single game and recorded just 13 tackles (8 solo). The following two seasons weren't much better, as Vernon still hasn't registered a single sack in the NFL.
February 28, 2011Jets To Part Ways With Jenkins, Woody, Taylor And Ghost
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
According to ESPN, earlier today the New York Jets released OT Damien Woody, a 13-year veteran who spent last 3 seasons with the Jets. Woody got injured late in the season and missed 3 regular season games along with 2 games in the playoffs. OL Vlad Ducasse has been rumored to switch to Woody's position on the right side of the offensive line.
October 4, 2010Jets Welcome Santonio Holmes, Get Rid Of Clowney
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
According to various source, the Jets are going to release WR David Clowney and WR Patrick Turner to make room for WR Santonio Holmes and DT Howard Green. Holmes, who was suspended for the first four games of regular season, is expected to make the evolving Jets passing game even more dangerous. He's a proven deep threat and basically impossible to cover in the slot. Green, who was released last week to make room for DE Trevor Pryce, will be re-signed.
September 5, 2010Jets Release Clowney And Richardson
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
The New York Jets released FB Tony Richardson and WR David Clowney. The Richardson move is definitely quite a surprise, as the 16-year veteran is one of the vocal leaders on this team. It's possible the team could bring back Richardson after Week 1, when his veteran minimum salary of $855,000 would not be guaranteed.
The New York Jets trimmed their roster down to 53 players, as they released 21 players to meet the league's roster size requirement. Here are the cuts: FB Jason Davis, WR Larry Taylor, C Robby Felix, S Keith Fitzhugh, LB Tim Knicky, LB Brashton Satele, S Emanuel Cook, DT Ty Steinkuhler, DT Martin Tevaseu, LB Boris Lee, OL Chet Teofilo, DE Jason Lamb, LB Ricky Foley, T Michael Turkovich, WR Brooks Foster, OL Charlie Tanner, CB Bo Smith, LB Cory Reamer, OL Dan Gay, LB Josh Mauga, S Donovan Warren.
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
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
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.
February 28, 2010Jets Plan To Release Thomas Jones
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
According to ESPN.com, RB Thomas Jones will not restructure his contract and will be released this week. Jones, who will become a free agent March 5, was slated to receive a $3M roster bonus March 9 and a $2.8M base salary in 2010.
September 14, 2009Jets Make Room for Shaun Ellis, Waive Cole
posted by: Site Admin | 2 comments | Jets Player Release
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.
September 6, 2009Jets Waive Woodhead And Three Others
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
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. The Jets signed P A.J. Trapasso Sunday off waivers after he was cut by the Titans. The other additions were FB Jason Davis (Bears) and TE Matthew Mulligan (Titans) and QB Kevin O'Connell (traded from the Lions for an undisclosed draft pick ).
The New York Jets have announced that they have waived the following players: FB Brock Christopher, S Emanuel Cook, LB Kenwin Cummings, OL Stanley Daniels, WR Britt Davis, PK Parker Douglass, WR Marcus Henry, CB Rashad Barksdale, TE Kevin Brock, TE Kareem Brown, FB Jehuu Caulcrick, DL Matt Kroul, OT Nevin McCaskill, OT Ryan McKee, C Michael Parenton, DE Zach Potter, DL Ty Steinkuhler, TE Jack Simmons, RB Anthony Kimble. Additionally, the team has placed WR Aundrae Allison on injured reserve due to a right ACL injury.

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.
