New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan has done a great job of making the rest of the NFL better this offseason. With no viable quarterback on the roster between Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg, and Bryce Petty and a lost year looming, Maccagnan appears to have already thrown in the towel for 2017 and released a number of talented veterans.
Those names aren’t typically seen on the waiver wire. The starters released from the Jets include center Nick Mangold, receiver Brandon Marshall, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, kicker Nick Folk, offensive tackle Breno Giacomini, cornerback Darrelle Revis, safety Marcus Gilchrist, and linebacker David Harris.
