David Garrard and the New York Jets have parted ways.
"Having to call it quits," said Garrard in a text. "My knee is not holding up. Continuing to swell after practices. Limiting what I can do."
Garrard was expected to be in the mix at quarterback due to the uncertain future of Mark Sanchez with the team and whether Geno Smith would be ready to start in Week 1.
