Marshall spent two seasons with the Jets, posting a career-year in 2015 before dropping off in 2016 while battling injuries and a shaky quarterback situation.
Even though he’s turning 33, Marshall is still very productive and should receive plenty of interest on the open market. He caught 109 passes and 15 touchdowns in 2015, but dropped off to 788 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Marshall was due to make $7.5 million in 2017 with the Jets.
The Jets have made big changes to their roster, as they also are letting go of Darrelle Revis and Nick Mangold.
