The New York Jets' offensive line is in full rebuild mode.
One week after letting right tackle Breno Giacomini hit free agency, the Jets are releasing two-time All-Pro center Nick Mangold.
Mangold confirmed the news on Twitter on Saturday.
Drafted by the Jets in the same first round as left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson in 2006, Mangold held down the fort in the middle of New York's offensive line for 11 seasons, replacing former All-Pro center Kevin Mawae. Mangold was selected to seven Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro honors in 2009 and 2010 when he acted as the backbone of New York's ground-and-pound offense during its championship game runs.
