Brandon Marshall more than likely going to be cut by Jets

NJ Advance Media's Darryl Slater believes there is a "60 percent" chance the New York Jets release wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

What It Means:

The Jets would save $7.5 million against the cap by releasing Marshall prior to the final year of his deal. It's possible that he is traded, but the veteran receiver is unlikely to be back with Gang Green next season. They could also free up another $5.75 million by letting Eric Decker go.

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 seasons.
