Marshall was released by the Jets on Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets continued their course in creating a younger roster with Marshall's release Thursday after releasing Nick Mangold and Darrelle Revis earlier in the offseason. According to ESPN's Rich Cimini, Marshall's release gives the team an additional $7.5 million in cap space heading into the new league year. Marshall had a disappointing 2016 campaign in New York, catching 59 of 128 targets for 788 yards and three touchdowns. That said, Marshall is just one year removed from a 1,502-yard season in which he had 14 scores. Despite being 33 when the season begins, Marshall still figures to garner interest from several clubs looking to add a big possession receiver and red zone threat. As it stands, New York's top three receivers are Eric Decker, Quincy Enunwa, and Robby Anderson; however, Marshall's release could lead to the front office looking to bolster the receiving corps in the draft.
