Roster News: Jets to release Mike Pennel

Some surprising news here:

The Jets are not picking up the option for the final two years of DT Mike Pennel’s contract, per source. Today was the deadline to decide on an option bonus worth $1M, while Pennel is now headed to the open market as a free agent.

In our poll earlier today, Pennel was the most popular choice JetsFix readers thought the Jets should keep.

We'll update you later on once we hear the fate of Brooks and Pierre-Louis.
