The New York Jets added a fifth name to their Tuesday salary-cap purge with the announcement that linebacker Bart Scott has been released.
The move came less than an hour after
the team announced it had waived linebacker Calvin Pace, safety Eric Smith, offensive tackle Jason Smith and tight end Josh Baker.
NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that Scott’s agent planned to meet with the Jets on Thursday to explore options that would keep Scott with the team in 2013. But the Jets made a changee on that front.
The Jets receive $7.15 million in cap relief by cutting Scott, according to ESPN. The team has now cleared approximately $30 million in cap space in one day.
So Jets fans get ready for a new look Jets next season.
I know Scott “Can’t Wait” for another team to give him a call.
