Dumb move during COVID. Should have waited until after opt out day to see if any of your guys opt out or if a team gets desperate and would have traded for him.

While this is def true and I didn't think of that angle,  I am amped this dude is gone. He was consistently among the most penalized OL on our team that also had some injury problems and was just OK when healthy. Long over due

With that cap hit no one was trading for him.

Its certainly possible that no one would trade for him and has they cut him at the draft or start of FA I'd have been fine with the move.

But now, closer to the season, seeing covid spikes in baseball and all the opt outs in football, it makes more sense to hang on to a decent veteran guard with starting experience for both depth purposes and trade leverage.

Wonder if Winters will come out and blast the Jets now 

I would be shocked and amazed.  Winters is a pretty good guy and teammate.  Oft injured, and mediocre talent, but solid in the clubhouse.  He has a wife and family right her in NJ.  I'm sure that if  he doesn't find a bettter deal he would come back to the Jets for a lesser amount.
