According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Anderson will free up $8.2 million of available cap space while creating $1,333,334 in dead money.
In 2020, Anderson appeared in 16 games for the Jets and recorded 42 tackles, four tackles for loss, and 0.5 sack. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 54 overall interior defender out of 125 players.
