The Jets announced Wednesday that they have released RB Mike Goodson with the “left squad” designation.
We have have released RB Mike Goodson with the designation left squad.

Goodson, 26, had two years remaining on his three-year, $6.9 million contract with base salaries of $1 million and $1.5 million coming his way during this time.
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Goodson will free up $720,588 in available cap space.
He has dealt with numerous off-the-field issues since the Jets signed him as a free agent. New York brought in Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson to be their top-two running backs, so it’s not as though they were going to be relying him playing a large role in their offense this season.
Last year, Goodson received a four-game suspension to begin the season and later suffered a torn ACL and MCL, which limited him to appearing in just two games.
