Jets Release Henry Anderson
4 years agoThe New York Jets released defensive lineman Henry Anderson on Tuesday. Anderson was due $8.2 million in 2021, and the Jets saved nearly that same amount by cutting him. Anderson, 29, started 24 games for Gang Green in the last three seasons. He carried a $9.5 million salary cap charge, with the remaining $1.3 million as a "dead" charge. New York now has more than $75 million in salary cap space as they head into free agency. Anderson played more snaps (942) than every Jets lineman except Quinnen Williams in 2019 and 2020. Traded over from the Colts during the 2018 draft, Anderson had a career-high seven sacks in the final year of his rookie contract. Since a three-year, $25.2 million deal, he produced just 1.5 sacks in the last 29 games. Anderson played in all 16 games last year, finishing with 42 total tackles.
