After totally revamping the offensive line this offseason, the Jets have parted ways with veteran guard Brian Winters.

The Jets announced on Sunday evening that they had cut Winters. This means Rockville Centre’s Greg Van Roten will be the Jets' starting right guard this season. That’s probably how it would have turned out anyway had Winters not been released.

Winters' return was iffy after general manager Joe Douglas made it his mission to shore up the offensive line in free agency and the draft.
