NEW YORK — Revis Island is shut down in New York and ready for relocation. Again.
The Jets made the release of cornerback Darrelle Revis official Thursday, shortly after the NFL’s free agency period began.
Revis was informed by the team last week that it was making the move, which ends his second tenure with the Jets after just two years and saves them $9.3 million on the salary cap. New York had to wait until 4 p.m. Thursday — the start of the new league year — to release Revis for cap purposes.
The Jets also announced they released running back Khiry Robinson, and gave second-round tenders to center Wesley Johnson and cornerback Marcus Williams, both restricted free agents.
