Jets Cut Two More

As the Jets continue to purge their roster to make cap space, two more players have recieved the axe. The most recent cuts were veterans TE Chris Baker and G Brandon Moore.

The two moves will create approximately $9 million in salary cap space for the Jets, meaning they're now roughly $27 million under the projected 2009 salary cap of $124 million with the start of free agency arriving on Friday

Baker, a seven-year veteran, spent his entire career with the Jets. In September, he signed a three-year extension that guaranteed him $9 million from 2009 to 2011 if he was still on the roster on March 5.

Moore, a six-year veteran coming off the best year of his career in which he helped pave the way for running back Thomas Jones' AFC-leading 1,312 yards and career-high and franchise-record 13 rushing touchdowns. He was due a $7 million roster bonus on March 5, but was believed to be open to reworking his deal to stay with the team for which he has played his entire career.
