NextImg:Jets release Laken Tomlinson to save around $8.1 million on salary cap

The Jets’ will have yet another hole to fill on their offensive line. 

They are cutting guard Laken Tomlinson, The Post confirmed, after two seasons with the team. The move will save the Jets roughly $8 million in cap space. 

For a unit that struggled mightily last year, the Jets will now have three openings to fill on the offensive line.

Tomlinson signed a lucrative three-year, $40 million deal with the Jets ahead of the 2022 season and was expected to be a key cog and help stabilize the middle of the Jets’ offensive line.

But, though he’s an ironman and played every single game the last two years, Tomlinson, 32, struggled to justify his steep price.

His $13.3 million AAV was 10th-most among all guards in the NFL. 

Pro Football Focus gave Tomlinson a woeful 55.0 overall grade last year, which ranked 53rd among all guards.

He allowed seven sacks, 10 quarterback hits and 51 quarterback pressures, according to the outlet.

His run blocking was even worse, and he received a 49.6 run-block grade.
