The Jets released running back Isaiah Crowell.
This was expected after the Jets came to terms with Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell on a four-year deal.
Crowell, signed as a free agent last year, would have been due $2 million of his $4 million salary this season if he was still on the team on Friday. The Jets cleared $3 million off the cap with this move.
In his only season with the Jets, Crowell led the team in rushing. He ran for 685 yards on 143 carries and scored six touchdowns. Crowell set a franchise record when he rushed for 219 yards on 15 carries in a win over Denver in Week 5.
