The Jets are parting ways with Brian Winters. New York is cutting the right guard after seven years in New York, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
A long-suspected cap casualty, Winters’ departure will save the Jets $7.2 million.
Drafted by the Jets in the third round in 2013, Winters started 12 games as a rookie and has been a stabilizing force on New York’s offensive line ever since.
Last year, however, he only played in nine games due to injury. He started 79 out of 89 games in his Jets career.
Back in February, Joe Douglas praised Winters’ toughness and implied he would get a chance to stick with the team, but that opportunity will not come to fruition
