Nick Mangold Released: MERGED

[southparkcpa]

Make way in the ring of honor....and in my mind, he will be the next NY JET in the HOF. Best center in the NFL many times in his 11 years.

 

Well done Mr Mangold. 

[CanadienJetsFan]

Sorry to see a true Jet have to go.

And the purge continues.

Guess it was time, still makes me sad, Nick was one of my all time favorite Jets

It's obvious next season is a total throw away. So, lets wave Harris, Marshall, Decker, and anyone who makes over 3 million. If we are going to go 2-14, lets do it right!

Two ways to skin that cat. They can - and should - add or keep players who make that amount and more. Just that they should fall into 1 of 2 categories:

1. There is reason to believe the player will still be playing at a high level in 3-4 years (or for longer).

2. Players on offense that will, in 2017, aid in the development of a QB.

My #2 All-Time Favorite NY Jet, behind only Al Toon.

My disappointment is palpable.   This franchise continues to make moves I simply do not understand.

Revis?  Still a Jet.  Sheldon?  Still a Jet.  Hell, 90% of this worthless POS Defense and the Coaching Staff responsible for it?  All still Jets.  Clueless Bowles?  Yep, still here.

But Mangold, gone.  Folk, gone.  Two of our best, most reliable guys, and locker room leaders.  

But Dropsy Brandon Marshall, him we have to keep.  And "Like an Egg" Decker, whose been hurt or limited almost his entire time her (and was a major cause of our failure last year)?  All still (vastly overpaid) Jets.

Skrine?  F'ing Forte?  Dammit it all., all still Jets.

**** sake, at this point I wouldn't put it past this team to bring Geno back, and start him.  

Best of luck Nick, you're one of our best IMO.

 

Johnson has played fairly well, Nick was due like 10 Million, guess it was time.  Still all good points.

if he goes to the packers I'm adopting them officially

Wesley Johnson is below average and did not play well last season. This article is fake news.

One of the true great players and class acts in team history. I hope he lands with the NFC's Super Bowl contender. He deserves a ring

They should put Mangold, Brick, Revis, and Mangini into the Ring of Honor at the home opener, imo.

I understand the NFL is a business but this is a sad day for Jets fans, Thank you Nick!

Mangold should retire a Jet - hope he get s ring like so many other former Jets

Tom Brady will welcome Nick Mangold with open arms and next season we can all watch him in the Super Bowl.

Original team. Why not the Patriots?

[Bleedin Green]

This is the only one of these that truly sucks.  Guy has been their best offensive player for the vast majority of his career.

That said, it's also unfortunate that the reality was they already have another guy who has shown the ability to step in for a fraction of the cost.  Sucks as a fan, but do have to at least somewhat appreciate the fact that this team seems to be willing to make real business decisions at this point, instead of being too clouded by the fan view, something the Jets have hardly been well known for (see: the Revis signing).

Jets owner Woody Johnson said Mangold "will always be a Jet."

Thanks Nick for your great work and years of loyalty

x 2.

You are a class act Nick and you were a great team leader and a true N.Y. Jet.

Best of luck where ever you may land.

Hey at least we still have Revis

Woody is going to the unite kingdom and needs to divest asap 

[Be_a_Jet]

I have no reservations buying a Jets Mangold jersey even though we cut him. I dont know many scenarios where that has been the case. He's a HOF and a Jets All-time great on/off the field.

HOF Lock Stock and Barrel

[Doggin94it]

I actually ran into Nick at Disney this past Wednesday.  I was bringing my 22 month old into the Baby Care Center to change his diaper, and Nick was following his 2.5 year old daughter out (kid was super cute - in full Bippidy Boppidy Boutique princess gear).  I almost walked right by him before the beard registered.  He was following his daughter out the door, so I didn't say much - just that I was a big fan and appreciated all he'd done for the team.  Glad I got that chance before this news broke.

Will be rooting for him, wherever he lands, except against us, of course.

So, is Revis still a Jet?

So we clearly aren't a meritocracy or a values driven organization.

Revis is still a Jet because we don't have the cap room to cut him until the new league year opens 3/1.  His $2M roster bonus is due 3/3.  So he'll be cut on Weds or Thursday.

Did he cut off a snippet of his beard to give you as a memento for you to hand down to your 22 month old when he grew up? If not, you should have asked.

I did, but he was already out the door.  His little girl has some speed, he had to hustle

[JetFaninMI]

Okay. One of the harder cuts for me. It had to happen though. This has to mean that no Vet with a large cap # is safe. Could the purge just be beginning?

That's fair. But then, you could have played the part of the creepy fan and chased him down to take intrusive cell phone pictures or video of him. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

[20andOut]

PISSED!  Understand it was a classic cut situation; older player, expensive, injured last year, but my favorite Jet for years.

Or it could just be that, no matter how justly beloved he is/was by fans, he wasn't worth $9m to the 2017 Jets. Assuming he doesn't retire, my guess is he won't be worth $9m/year to anyone else either. He's not as reliable as he was health-wise, he's not as good as he was when healthy, and he was super-expensive. 

Doesn't take away from his great career in any way.

WTF -- I got neg repped for that? What "fan" wouldn't want a snippet of Nick Mangold's glorious beard, to have and cherish and keep under my pillow every night until it's time to pass down to the next generation?

I'll bet it smells like spruce trees and beer. Mmm.

I'm jealous, wish I could get released.
