The New York Jets purged their roster over the course of the offseason and the position that obviously took the biggest hit was wide receiver. General manager Mike Maccagnan parted ways with all-pro Brandon Marshall in early March and Eric Decker in June. The second move is a complete head-scratcher.
It makes sense to cut him if you’re looking to tank for a top pick, but why in June? According to multiple reports, the decision seems to be one made by owner Woody Johnson . Most fans are not fond of Johnson, so the releasing of Decker and David Harris only added fuel to their fire.
