In an effort to clear significant cap space, the Jets released veterans Calvin Pace, Jason Smith and Eric Smith from the roster, Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Tight end Josh Baker, who spent the season on injured reserve, was also released. The move should provide the Jets slightly more than $24 million in salary cap relief. Jason Smith, who came over in the Wayne Hunter trade, accounted for $12 million alone. Source: The Redzone
