The Jets released cornerback Antonio CromartieMonday, saving $8 million in cap space.
Cromartie had an ugly 2015 season and very much looked like a player on the wrong side of 30-years-old. Cromartieposted an Instagram video shortly after his release of himself in practice beating fellow cornerback Buster Skrine. He added the following:
antoniocromartie31First I will like to give thanks to my Lord and Savior because everything that I’ve been blessed with is because of you. Thank you again. Now I would like to think the Jets Organization for bringing me back this past season. I had a lot of fun and I know my first have of the season didn’t go well and I thank you guys for pushing and believing in me to keep me on the field so I could finish strong. Today is a sad day for me not because of my release but the guys I became really close in our DB room. @busterskrine @revisislandtwo4 @instant9 @mgilchr @therealmarcwill @dmilli27 @wavyy_25 @dbailey37 @dex_25 man y’all [expetive] were my brothers and I would do anything for y’all man. God bless y’all boys in the future and let God lead the way for you. To Jets Nation the most important people that make Sunday’s so fun thank you for welcoming me back. You guys are the best fans ever and thank you for sticking next to me through my tough times last season you rock. Keep the excitement in the stands because Coach Bowles will have the guys right this upcoming season. I Val to be the person and player my Heavenly Father has asked me to be. God Bless You. Sorry @busterskrine I had to put this up lol.”
