Jets Expected to Cut Ties With Multiple Key Veterans

The New York Jets have officially released star receiver Davante Adams, following reports that the team was exploring trade options prior to the new league year. This decision comes in the wake of the Jets' earlier choice to part ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who had a close relationship with Adams. Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler, had a significant cap hit of over $38 million, prompting the Jets to cut him to save $29.9 million. Additionally, tight end Tyler Conklin is also expected to leave the team as his contract expires, with the Jets possibly looking to add a new tight end through free agency or the draft. Furthermore, the team may consider other roster cuts, including veteran punter Thomas Morstead, as they transition under new management. These moves highlight a broader effort by the Jets to reshape their roster ahead of free agency.
