Jets Decline Option on Pennel

Mike Pennel JN

With a deadline looming to pick up a roster bonus on defensive lineman Mike Pennel, the Jets today declined the option, meaning Pennel will become a free agent.

Pennel has been a solid player for Gang Green over the past two seasons, but with the team expected to switch to a 4-3 base defense, there was little need for a nose tackle of Pennel’s stature.  The move will save the Jets $1.6 million while also taking on $1.6 million in dead money according to overthecap.com.
