In two seasons with the Jets, Brooks played in 31 games and was a key contributor on special teams, so Brant Boyer will have his hands full looking for a replacement. This move will add $1.8 million dollars in cap space while only adding $300,000 of dead money, according to overthecap.com. Currently sitting at $97.1 million, the Jets may cut ties with more players, so expect them to be very active once the free agency period opens.

Things started out well for the New York Jets who looked as if they were on the verge of picking up their first win in forever, but it wasn't to be.

A backbreaking pick-six from Aaron Rodgers was the turning point as the Seattle Seahawks came screaming back for a 26-21 victory.
