Couldn't the Jets have suspended IK without pay for conduct detrimental to the team like the Bucs did to Keyshawn? that way he could not have been picked up by the Bills.
they probably could have.
but i think the better message was to cut the guy immediately. don't worry if someone picks him up. he lost his right to play for the jets, so don't let the door hit him in the arse on the way out. bowles did the right thing cutting him immediately
