The Facts:
The Jets will release Blaylock by the end of this week, his agent said on Wednesday. The move will likely come before Friday, when the NFL's free agency period starts. Agent Michael L. Huyghue said the veteran RB could still return to the Jets during the offseason.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Blaylock was rarely used last year. ... The Jets released veteran Kevan Barlow last Wednesday. With Barlow and Blaylock gone, and Martin all but retired because of a knee injury, the Jets have just two running backs on their roster: playmaking Leon Washington and bulldozing Cedric Houston. It's uncertain whether the Jets think either could be primary ballcarriers and there has been talk the team will try to land another back this offseason -- perhaps San Diego's Michael Turner.
