Jets Release Guard Laken Tomlinson, Freeing Up $8.1M in Cap Space

The New York Jets have initiated their offensive line overhaul by releasing guard Laken Tomlinson, aiming to address the unit's performance issues.

The Jets released guard Laken Tomlinson, saving approximately $8.1 million in salary cap space.
Tomlinson, a former Pro Bowler with the 49ers, struggled with consistency during his tenure with the Jets.
The release is part of a broader effort to revamp the Jets' offensive line, which faced significant challenges last season.
With Tomlinson's departure, the Jets now have over $24 million in cap space available for the offseason.
The Jets are expected to prioritize the offensive line in both free agency and the draft to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
