In a move that surprised many, the New York Jets decided to cut their ties with veteran linebacker David Harris.
On one hand, it was a logical move, as the organization is well on its way towards a full-scale rebuild. It would’ve been a disservice to award Harris playing time over young players and it’s also likely the 33-year-old doesn’t want to spend his time on a year that is expected to turn into a very high draft pick.
But at the same time, Harris was a consistent force in the middle of the Jets’ defense that was considered one of the best in the NFL during his heyday.
