FLORHAM PARK, NJ – In a surprising QB twist, JetsInsider.com has learned that veteran QB David Garrard, who the Jets picked up this off-season to compete for the starting job is leaving the team.
WE HARDLY KNEW YE! QB David Garrard apparently calls it quits due to a bum knee.
According to SNY’s Adam Schein, Garrard texted him this afternoon saying his surgically repaired knee was not holding up and he will be leaving the team.
Garrard, who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2010 tried a comeback last season with the Miami Dolphins but that ended in camp when he injured his knee and needed arthroscopic surgery. Garrard has also had back surgery to repair herniated discs.
This development likely ends Garrard’s career.
The loss of Garrard leaves 4 QB’s on the Jets roster, Mark Sanchez, Gregg McElroy, Matt Simms and Geno Smith. Look for the team to sign another veteran before the season starts.

Slauson, started all games at LG for the Jets over the past three seasons after being drafted by the Jets in the sixth round out of Nebraska in 2009. The loss leaves another hole in the Jets starting lineup. Starting RG Brandon Moore is an unrestricted FA and not expected to be re-signed.
The loss of Slauson leaves only Mark Sanchez remaining from the 2009 draft class.
In other news free agent TE Fred Davis, who met with the Jets yesterday, decided to re-sign with the Redskins today.
To no surprise, being $20MM+ over the salary cap, the Jets began their roster purge today, releasing five players.

LB Calvin Pace, LB Bart Scott, S Eric Smith, T Jason Smith and FB/TE Josh Baker were let go.
According to several salary cap sources, the moves save the team aprox $30MM on this coming year’s cap and brings them aprox $5MM under.
All players cut (with the exception of Baker) have been discussed in the media for the last several weeks as the first likely bodies to go based on their high cap numbers. The largest being Jason Smith ($12MM cap number) who the Jets traded for Wayne Hunter to the Rams during last year’s training camp. Smith never cracked the starting lineup during his time here.
Although the moves get them below the cap, the team will still have to do more wrangling in order to make any off-season moves. The biggest pressing issue being their star CB Darrelle Revis who they will need to decide whether to extend or trade. Look for some more cuts as well as several veterans re-structuring their contracts to more cap-friendly deals in the coming weeks.
