Brandon Marshall

Brandon Marshall could be cut by Jets this offseason

New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall is expected to be released by the team this offseason, according to ESPN Jets reporter Rich Cimini.

What It Means:

Marshall just completed arguably the worst season of his career as he enters the final year of his contract. His 59 catches were the lowest since his 2006 rookie season while 788 receiving yards represent just the second time Marshall has been held under 1,000 yards since that first year in the league. The Jets' abysmal quarterback play didn't help much, but Marshall will be 33 by the start of next season and is due $7.5 million next season if he remains with the team.

Among the 41 receivers with at least 100 targets in 2016, Marshall's Reception Net Expected Points per target of 0.58 ranked sixth-worst. He also struggled to find the end zone, scoring just three times after turning in 45 combined touchdowns over the previous four season.
