Jets cut David Harris; Eric Decker next if trade can’t be made

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — In one afternoon, the Jets parted ways with almost two decades of NFL experience and close to $14 million.

Hours after the organization released veteran linebacker David Harris, general manager Mike Maccagnan confirmed they’ll cut wide receiver Eric Decker this week if a trade cannot be worked out.

That leaves Quincy Enunwa as the Jets’ new No. 1 receiver and Todd Bowles’ defense without a clear starter at middle linebacker. But Maccagnan insisted Tuesday night that the roster moves weren’t solely financially motivated and that the team isn’t tanking for a top pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
