David Harris penned a heartfelt farewell letter to the Jets organization, his former teammates and fans after his surprising release earlier this week.
“The past couple of days have allowed me to reflect on my career with the New York Jets and how grateful I am,” wrote Harris, who was cut on Tuesday after contract talks broke down between his representatives and the team, in a letter on the Jets’ official website.
The 33-year-old was a second-round pick of the Jets in 2007 and spent 10 seasons in green and white. Harris, the last player on the roster from the Eric Mangini era (2006-08), played in 121 straight games until a hamstring injury forced him to miss their Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals last season.
