Cromartie was due a $5 million roster bonus this week. Jets save $9.5 million against the cap with his release. #nyj

I didn't watch Cromartie much last year, but he was worth every penny they were paying him in 2012 I thought.

Seattle won't sign him, he'll get a good sized deal somewhere. I just hope he stays out of the NFC West.

He'd look good in Seattle East, aka Jacksonville. 8)

Per a league source, the Jets haven’t closed the door on re-signing Cromartie. However, it’s currently believed they have another cornerback already locked up.

Of course, the Jets aren’t currently permitted to have anything more than negotiations that don’t lead to an agreement. But the thinking is that, before cutting Cromartie loose, the Jets became satisfied that negotiations with another cornerback will become an offer and an acceptance as of 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
