The New York Jets have officially done what we’ve known they’d be doing for several months now and parted ways with defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson after a season in which the overpaid lineman failed to show up in time for meetings more often than he showed up in the opponents backfield.
Wilkerson’s dumping will save the Jets $11 million but will also come with a $9 million charge in dead money according to Darryl Slater of NJ Advanced Media.
