JetNation Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 By Glenn Naughton As expected, the New York Jets have parted ways with long-time tight end Jeff Cumberland. It was a fun 6 years w/ the Jets & my teammates. Thank u to the organization for the opportunity. Appreciate #JetsNation for your support. — Jeff Cumberland (@Cumberland85) March 9, 2016 Coming off of his worst performance as a starter, Cumberland was all but invisible for the Jets on offense this season, logging just 5 receptions for 77 yards without a touchdown. An undrafted free agent out of the University of Illinois, where he was a wide receiver, there was never any doubting Cumberland’s physical attributes, but the speedy Ohio native never put produced the way the Jets and their fans had hoped. The move will free up $1.9 million in cap space. Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony The Wiz Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Offensive coordinator doesn't care for TE in his offense. I completely disagree with this in the pro game. College yes you could split out 4 receivers but I go back to Parcells days and the TE is a necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony The Wiz Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I do understand that but in general when Amaro comes back from injury he could be a big part of your offense. Galley will bury him and that will be a mis fortune. Look at what the Patriots and Carolina do at tight end. See what a TE did for Bree's and Rivers. Just don't like Gaileys offense.

Agree 100% Gailey is terrible at both game planning and play calling in the first half, you can't make it in the NFL without using the TE position, the sooner the Jets brass realizes Chan sucks, the better, but the fact he is even our OC speaks volumes, our GM is lost.

Rangers9 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's not a big deal. But I think Cumby has more talent than he was allowed to show in 2015 under Gailey and should make another team as a no. 2 tight end and play a lot. He did start most of our games so he must have been doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmajet Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Since they waited, I wonder if there is a FA they are trying to sign and they are freeing up the money; otherwise, might as well have kept him until they needed the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gailey has used TE's in his offenses before and not just for blocking. We just didn't have any damn TE's on the roster worth sending out to catch passes. Things will look different this year with Amaro back and hopefully a FA signing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see but you are right, he has great potential but the Jets brass during minicamp/TC (before back injury) basically kept him with the 3rd stringers and rumors were that he was "too soft" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
