The New York Jets have reportedly decided to release Santonio Holmes after four years with the team.
The wide receiver previously said that he would consider taking a pay cut to remain with the AFC East side in 2014.
NBC Sports reports that the team has not been able to agree a reduced salary with the 29-year-old, who is due to earn a guaranteed $8.25m (£4.9m), and will shortly cut him from their roster.
Holmes missed the majority of the 2012 season and the start of last year with a Lisfranc injury.
