    The Le'Veon Bell circus is finally over. The Gang Green have released the disgruntled running back, who they thought would be the answer to their ground game woes two years ago. Bell, 28, one of the best backs in the league at that time, sat out the 2018 season due to a contract dispute with…

    The Jets released CB Darryl Roberts, who signed a 3-year $18M contract with the team last March. Roberts started in 10 games last year and looked pretty abysmal for the most part.

    The Jets have finally parted ways with DE Muhammad Wilkerson whose play rapidly deteriorated after cashing in on a big contract two years ago.

  • Jets release Eric Decker and David Harris

    The Jets continued purging their expensive veterans today, as they cut MLB David Harris and WR Eric Decker.
