New York Jets release Henry Anderson, save $8.2 million in cap space

Everybody thought it was only a matter of time before the New York Jets cut veteran defensive lineman Henry Anderson. Not everybody thought it would happen this early.

The Jets cut the 29-year-old Stanford product Tuesday night, per Eric Allen of the team’s official website.

We've released DL Henry Anderson.
