FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Jamison Crowder admitted to being "a little bit surprised" that the Jets wanted him to take a pay cut. But the veteran slot receiver said he has no bitterness toward them.
"It’s a business," Crowder said Tuesday. "I’m here now, man. I’m just ready to rock out."
Crowder was owed $10 million in the final year of his contract, but it was non-guaranteed. After upgrading the receiving group, the Jets wanted Crowder to restructure his deal. If he hadn’t, the Jets could have waived him. Crowder did, although the new terms have yet to be revealed.
