Kevan Barlow's tenure as the successor to Curtis Martin lasted a season. The Jets released the veteran running back Wednesday after the least-productive season of Barlow's career. He ran for a career-low 370 yards -- third on the team -- and averaged just 2.8 yards per carry. Barlow was acquired from the 49ers last August to jump-start a running game that was without an injured Martin. Instead, Leon Washington emerged as a prime playmaker and back Cedric Houston got lots of playing time late in the season.
