As expected, the New York Jets have released Cornerback Antonio Cromarti<\/a>e<\/strong>. Cro started his second journey with the Jets after playing in Arizona under current Jets head coach Todd Bowles.<\/p>\n

\n

“This past season “Cro” had 33 tackles, two tackles for loss, both against Jacksonville, a fumble recovery in the season opener against Cleveland, and a team-leading 16 pass defenses, three coming against Tennessee. “Cro” also had the most kickoff returns for the Jets, 15 in all for a 25.1-yard return average.<\/p>\n

Cromartie, who began his NFL career as the Chargers’ first-round choice, 19th overall, in ’06, has 34 career interceptions in the regular season and playoffs, 13 of them coming as a member of the Jets. He made 78 regular-season and three postseason starts for the Jets,” reports Randy Lange.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cromartie was one year into a four-year $32 million contract, including a\u00a0non-guaranteed $8 million.<\/p>\n

Jets announce that they've released Antonio Cromartie. It's a straight-up savings of $8 million in cap space. No dead money.<\/p>\n
