Jets to cut RT Damien Woody

Another FA o-lineman.

Woody, 33, recovering from surgery on his Achilles tendon, was due to make $3.35 million in 2011. The Jets recently decided to move second-year lineman Vladimir Ducasse to right tackle, an indication that Woody's days were numbered.

...

 

Woody started three seasons for the Jets and was an integral part of one of the league's top offensive lines. The Jets are taking a risk by unloading their most experienced lineman, but they evidently feel it's time for Ducasse, a second-round pick, to make his mark. They also could re-sign backup Wayne Hunter, who replaced Woody late in the season, to compete with Ducasse for the starting job.

No thanks. Age + achilles surgery= slow re-tread. Achilles takes a year to recover from and full recovery for a lineman is asking too much.

 

Yeah, if it were just about any other injury, I'd say give him a shot, but a torn Achilles at 30+ years old could be a career-ender for him. It's a shame, because he's a very good RT when he's healthy.
