The New York Jets will release Darrelle Revis on March 9th.

Revis was scheduled to count $15.3 million against the 2017 salary cap. The announcement came 11 days after Revis was charged with four felonies, including aggravated assault.

Revis' legal issues didn't factor into the team's decision to release him, a source said, adding that it was "100 percent football related." 

The Jets made the decision internally three weeks ago to release Revis.

The Kansas City Chiefs will release Jamaal Charles.

Charles has battled injuries each of the past two seasons.

Charles will become a free agent.

The New York Jets have released Nick Mangold.

The Jets are clearing their roster of older, more expensive players as they rebuild.

"For the past 11 years, Nick Mangold has been a cornerstone of our team both on and off the field," Jets owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. "As our Pro Bowl center, Nick consistently demonstrated superior skill and unmatched toughness. Equally important, off the field, Nick exhibited respect, sensitivity and compassion for the causes he supported.

"It has been a privilege to have known Nick these many years and, for all of us, I say Nick will always be a Jet."

Tony Romo is expecting to be released and not traded by the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, according to a source.

Romo believes he can start for two or three more seasons despite turning 37 and his injury history.

In a similar circumstance, Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 when he returned from multiple neck surgeries and the team drafted Andrew Luck.

The New York Jets have released Ryan Clady, declining his $1 million roster bonus.

Clady was acquired by the Jets last offseason from the Denver Broncos.

The Jets cleared $10 million in cap space by cutting Clady, which should get them under the projected salary cap for 2017. Previously, they were about $7 million over the cap.

The New York Giants have released Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings.

Cruz is less than three years removed from major knee surgery and would have counted for $9.4 million against the Giants' salary cap in 2017. New York will free up $7.5 million in cap space with his release.

Jennings would have counted $3,062,500 against the cap in 2017. Releasing him frees up $2.5 million in cap space for the Giants.

Cruz took a significant pay cut to return to the Giants last season. He still made $5.4 million and wanted to return to the team that signed him as an undrafted free agent out of UMass in 2010.

The Indianapolis Colts have released veteran linebacker D'Qwell Jackson.

Jackson led the Colts in tackles in two of his three seasons with the team.

The Colts will save $5.5 million in salary cap space as the 33-year-old Jackson was scheduled to make a $5 million base salary in 2017 as well as a $500,000 roster bonus due March 13.

"D'Qwell is a consummate professional," Chuck Pagano said in a statement. "The way he approaches the game is second to none. His leadership and mentorship provided a valuable example for the younger players on this team. We are grateful for all of his contributions to the organization and wish him the best."
