The Jets have released left guard Kelechi Osemele, the team announced on Saturday afternoon.
Osemele and the Jets have been at odds over the 30-year-old's shoulder injury. The team doctors believe Osemele has a preexisting condition that he can play through and he doesn’t need surgery at this time. Osemele, however, said earlier this week that he had a third opinion on his shoulder and surgery was recommended.
