Bryce Petty, who threw four touchdown passes and had 10 interceptions with the Jets, was released as the team got down to four quarterbacks on its roster.
After sitting out the past three weeks while recovering from a hamstring injury, Jets running back Matt Forte hopes to finally play Saturday against the Giants.
Even though he didn't play a single regular-season snap as a rookie, Christian Hackenberg believes he's entering 2017 with "a different level of confidence."
Head coach Todd Bowles has declared an open competition between Christian Hackenberg, Bryce Petty and veteran Josh McCown for the New York Jets' starting quarterback job.
While saying it's "highly unlikely" they will add another veteran quarterback, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan didn't rule out the possibility of adding a rookie to his stable of arms.
The Jets, in addition to clearing cap space with their recent releases of veteran players, are making all of their draft picks -- including the No. 6 overall selection -- available for sale.
