The Jets have released Nick Mangold, the 11-year pro and their seven-time Pro Bowl center.
"For the past 11 years, Nick Mangold has been a cornerstone of our team both on and off the field," said Jets owner Woody Johnson. "As our Pro Bowl center, Nick consistently demonstrated superior skill and unmatched toughness. Equally important, off the field, Nick exhibited respect, sensitivity and compassion for the causes he supported. It has been a privilege to have known Nick these many years and, for all of us, I say Nick will always be a Jet.”
Mangold had a great run as the latest in the Jets' line of great centers.
