NEW YORK (AP) The New York Jets have released offensive lineman Spencer Long, saving the team almost $6.5 million on next season’s salary cap.
Long was due a $3 million roster bonus that would have become guaranteed Wednesday. The Jets opted instead to cut him Tuesday after he struggled with injuries and consistency at center before moving to left guard.
Long signed a four-year, $27.5 million contract with the Jets last March and was also due a base salary of about $3.46 million next year.
He opened the season with the Jets as the starting center but hurt a tendon in his middle finger against Jacksonville in Week 4. It affected his ability to snap the ball effectively. He was replaced by Jonotthan Harrison, who took over as the starter for the final seven games. Long then moved to left guard when James Carpenter was injured.
