After a second trip to the AFC Championship game in as many years, the New York Jets have begun the process of restocking the roster in an effort to help head coach Rex Ryan keep his Super Bowl promise.
The team released four players Monday: offensive lineman Damien Woody, nose tackle Kris Jenkins, linebacker Jason Taylor and defensive end Vernon Gholston.
All the moves were expected. Woody and Jenkins have 23 years of NFL experience between them and both have been plagued by injuries recently; Jason Taylor, 37, is expected to retire; and Gholston, the Jets sixth-overall pick in the 2008 draft, never saw his on-field production approach expectations. In three seasons, Gholston started just five games, managed 42 tackles and never once registered a sack. He earned $21 million in guaranteed money on his rookie contract.
