New Jets coach Adam Gase already is making changes on the offensive line. On Tuesday the Jets waived center Spencer Long, who was due a $3-million signing bonus that would have become guaranteed Wednesday.
It’s possible the Jets could bring back Long at a reduced number, but upgrading the line is on general manager Mike Maccagnan's offseason list. Protecting quarterback Sam Darnold will be a priority.
The Jets signed Long last offseason to a four-year, $27-million contract, hoping he would bring stability to the position and the line. But Long struggled with injuries and finished the season at left guard.
