Player Notes
March 4, 2010
According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, the Jets have released veteran cornerback Lito Sheppard.

Our View:He was soon due a big roster bonus, and the Jets simply had no intention of paying it. After he intercepted just one ball in 11 games last season, interest in Sheppard could be lukewarm.

The New York Daily News confirmed that Lito Sheppard will be released by the Jets this week.

Our View:Sheppard was due a $10MM roster bonus. He failed to stay healthy in 2009 as well.

Lito Sheppard is expected to be released by the Jets, according to Dave Hutchinson of the Star-Ledger.

Our View:The former member of the Eagles only played in 11 regular season games with the Jets in 2009 due to injuries. New York had a strong pass defense, but they still want to upgrade their secondary in free agency or the draft.

Lito Sheppard sat out Tuesday's practice, according to the Jets' official website.

Our View:Sheppard's absence was non-injury related, and he should be ready to go for Sunday's playoff match-up at San Diego. He forms one of the top cornerback tandems in the NFL with stud Darrelle Revis.
