The Jets released Van Roten on Friday.
Van Roten was let go to make room for Nate Herbig, who the Jets claimed off waivers from the Eagles. Van Roten started 23 games for the Jets over the past two season, but he was benched midway through last season in favor of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. The move frees up $3.5 million for the Jets, per Connor Hughes of The Athletic.
