Erin Henderson was a starting inside linebacker for the first six games last season and then ... pffft!
He was gone.
Henderson, who battled alcohol problems earlier in his career, was placed on the New York Jets' non-football injury list for the remainder of the season with no explanation from the team. Because he signed a two-year, $4 million contract last offseason, his rights still belong to the Jets. A decision is looming -- two decisions, actually.
The Jets must decide by Wednesday whether to exercise their option for 2017.
