According to the New York Jets twitter feed, the team has released the often troubled running back Mike Goodson. Goodson failed to show up at the mandatory minicamp which started today.
General manager John Idzik announced that Goodson was let go with a designation of ''left squad."
In May 2013 Goodson and an acquaintance were found in a car with a gun and a hollow point bullet. He was indicted on weapons charges in November and faces up to 10 years in prison.
Goodson was suspended the first four games of last season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He played in just two games before tearing two knee ligaments in October.
Goodson's was signed as a free agent in March 2013 after spending time with the Panthers and the Raiders. His spot on the team was tenuous with the signing of Chris Johnson in the off-season.
