The Jets have not been shy in aggressively parting ways with franchise legends over the past two years. On Tuesday, veteran linebacker David Harris became the latest cog in their 2009 and 2010 AFC title runs to fall by the wayside.
The Jets are releasing the 33-year-old, the team announced. A second-round pick out of Michigan in 2007, Harris has missed just one game in the last eight years. A staple at middle linebacker through three different head coaches, he was one of the team's unquestioned leaders during the height of their success seven years ago.
