Malachi Corley<\/a>\u2018s time with the Jets is coming to an end. The 2024 third-rounder is among New York\u2019s roster cuts, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This will bring a quick end to Corley\u2019s Big Apple tenure. The move also comes despite the Jets still carrying considerable questions at receiver beyond Garrett Wilson<\/a>. But Corley was drafted by the Joe Douglas regime. The Darren Mougey-Aaron Glenn power structure has seen enough, evidently.<\/p>\n

The Jets drafted Corley 65th overall last year, having traded up (via the Panthers<\/a>) for the shifty prospect. But Corley produced a three-catch, 16-yard rookie season. The Western Kentucky prospect did not impress during Aaron Rodgers<\/a>\u2018 season as the team\u2019s starter, and his most memorable Jets sequence came when he dropped the ball before the goal line to deny the Jets a touchdown on a reverse during a nationally televised game.<\/p>\n

Corley, 23, has three years left on his rookie contract. A claiming team would have Corley on a $1MM 2025 base salary. Even with Corley faceplanting in New York, it would not surprise to see a claim due to his draft status barely a year ago. Although the Jets carry significant questions about their Wilson sidekick contingent, Corley entered training camp uncertain to make the roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Josh Reynolds<\/a>, Allen Lazard<\/a>, Xavier Gipson<\/a> and Tyler Johnson<\/a> are among the players presently rounding out the Jets\u2019 receiving corps. This creates natural concerns about the passing game\u2019s viability in Justin Fields<\/a>\u2018 first season, especially considering the new quarterback\u2019s issues as a passer to date. But the Jets will pass on a second Corley season anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Malachi Corley\u2018s time with the Jets is coming to an end.
