Many NFL teams released players this week to avoid paying roster bonus' and to cut ties with some high salary yet under-performing players. It's interesting to see how the NFL teams are still operating as normal even though their season is in serious jeopardy. Teams are still reworking their rosters, freeing up money to pay free agents and re-sign current players with expiring contracts as if everything was fine. Teams need to plan accordingly for whenever the CBA gets resolved.
The article below shows some of the cuts made by the New York Jets. They cut some veteran players with big locker room credentials, including Damian Woody and Kris Jenkins. Both players were high salary older players coming off injury, and were the first on the team to be let go. It just shows that no matter what your situation is on a team, the NFL is a business first.
