JetNation Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 By Glenn Naughton After reportedly failing his team physical, running back Zac Stacy has been waived by Gang Green and replaced by former Baltimore Raven and Jacksonville Jaguar running back Bernard Pierce. Source confirms the Jets are releasing RB Zac Stacy with a failed physical designation (broken leg), and signing RB Bernard Pierce. #nyj — Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) July 27, 2016 Pierce, a four-year pro out of Temple has struggled since a strong rookie season in 2012 when he averaged 4.9 yards per carry on 108 attempts with the Ravens. Since then, Pierce has averaged just 3.2 YPC, racking up 813 yards on 251 attempts. With running backs Matt Forte, Bilal Powell and Khiry Robinson already under contract, JetNation.com had speculated recently that Stacy was likely on thin ice as training camp approached, and his failed physical clearly did little to help.

pointman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Stacy was a bigger waste of a roster spot than Erik Ainge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great PR move for the Jets would be to sign him to vet league minimum and match that money donated to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepPep Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think this will be a position (the #3 RB spot) where the Jets may cut and sign multiple players before the season starts. No surprise that Stacy was waived but I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets decided to cut Pierce and sign someone else before pre-season. I think we're going to see a few moves like this as rosters start to get trimmed down. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if Vander Laan was also cut at some point, replaced by a real TE, who may also be cut once before the season starts.
