Doug Brien

The Jets are going to release Doug Brien around June 1st. According to published reports, they have given him permission to speak to other teams about a new job.

A no brainer decision here after picking a kicker as high as the Jets did. I'm not arguing with the thought process of picking a kicker, but you can't and don't have room under your salary cap for two pro kickers fighting for a job. Not taking up an extra roster spot either during training camp.

Doug got the Jets into the divisional round of the playoffs by hitting a field goal against San Diego... But that wasn't enough. Not when you had two chances to bring your team to the AFC Championship that following week, with two MAKEABLE kicks.

Sorry Doug, time to move on. Hope you get a chance to miss 45 yard game winning field goals somewhere else.
