The New York Jets notified representatives for left tackle Ryan Clady on Wednesday that they will decline his $10 million club option for 2017 and make him an unrestricted free agent, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
In addition to creating $10 million in cap room, the Jets also avoided paying Clady a $1 million roster bonus, per ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
The Jets acquired Clady in a trade with the Denver Broncos prior to the 2016 season, but the two-time All-Pro continued to be plagued by injury woes during his lone season with Gang Green.
