Ex-LB Henderson to sue Jets, seeks $3.3M
Former New York Jets linebacker Erin Henderson is planning to sue the team for wrongful termination and disability discrimination, his attorney confirmed Tuesday.
Henderson, currently a free agent, is seeking $3.3 million in compensatory damages -- the amount of his unpaid 2016 salary, plus his non-guaranteed 2017 salary. In February, the Jets declined to exercise his 2017 option for $2.25 million. Henderson, 31, also is seeking punitive damages.
