Jets Releasing Terrelle Pryor...

[AbstraKt 673]

Jets are releasing WR Terrelle Pryor today, per league source. Pryor has a tear in his groin and is expected to be out about two weeks. Jets interested in bringing him back when healthy, but other teams also likely to be interested.

hmm

[HawkeyeJet 11,268]

Hello Rishard Mathews.  Or Burnett.

[Untouchable 15,059]

Tells me they’re probably signing Matthews.

[edrhew 17]

Rishard Matthews? Amari Cooper?

[Patriot Killa 23,356]

This has to be to bring someone on from FA or from PS.

OR...a trade is coming?

Bowles did say that they had a big move to make but they were waiting to see how the WR injuries panned out this week.

this must be it. Did not expect this though.

[Larz 71,663]

Seems like a mistake. If it's a roster space issue they could waive Cannon and nobody would claim him

[Losmeister 6,803]

am thinking burnett...

[Mogglez 16,746]

Nothing develops a QB better than releasing a guy that he likes.

[TheNuuFaaolaExperience 2,337]

I will remember your amazing TD catch. Bye TP.

[Patriot Killa 23,356]

And then the Patriots give him a call....

[BROOKLYN JET 7,300]

Hope we get him back.

Maybe both.  You can't bring a FA in today and expect him to contriubte much tomorrow.  So maybe they bring up Burnett for tomorrow and then add either Matthews or Coleman on Monday.  Raiders are also rumored to be shopping Cooper.

Seems like a shortsighted move. I'd guess it's literally a roster spot situation where we're so banged up at WR we need bodies but he's an athlete and has made some plays for us. I'd have to imagine there are other depth guys we could cut that would be less attractive to other teams.

I don't think there is much evidence that Pryor was a target Darnold trusts.  Quite a bit of evidence that indicates the opposite I think.

[Barkus 1,747]

They probably have an agreement with Pryor. They are too banged up to carry all these injured players. He is not hurt enough to be put on IR but they need healthy bodies at WR. Look for Burnett to be added to active roster.

[kdels62 8,464]

This is weird. With Burris, Fatukasi, Jones, Cannon, Tomlinson and Pierre-Louis on the roster as easily cuttable players why did we cut the WR with decent chemistry with Darnold.

[Ohio State NY Jets fan 2,580]

is there cap relief if he is signed by another team? 

strange move to be simple, expect another move to follow 

[Thai Jet 163,538]

I'm shocked ! Hope he's able to come back.

[HelenOfTroy 2,772]

Crap, I like the kid....saw him at the Coliseum his first start at QB for tOSU, vs arguably the greatest defense in the PC era.  Kid didn't flinch, was composed and played tough.  He was a true freshman, have to respect him for that, even though he is playing a different position.

[nycdan 21,047]

Don't like the cut but don't know enough behind the scenes to judge.  Pryor is that big, athletic red zone target that every team needs.  I guess we can use Herndon or another of the 40 TEs we have but I was warming up to Pryor a lot.  I don't think the Pats grab him because they already have Gordon.  However, I think there will be interest in him once he's medically cleared.  I can't believe there wasn't another way to clear a roster spot if we had any intention of bringing him back so I'm doubtful that happens.

That was my 1st thought.

[slimjasi 11,258]

Wow. 

Not a fan of this move unless a deal for someone like Cooper is incoming. 

[Ken Schroy 3,682]

Interesting. Have to see what happens. You have to wonder how did he tear his groin with such limited playing time, and why would another team want him?

Me too. He seemed to be developing some decent chemistry with Sam.

There's GOT to be more to this story. Seems like they had so many other options.

He's behind only Robby with TD catches, has the same amount of catches as Robby, and is near the top of the WRs in terms of yardage despite getting little to no in game reps compared to the other guys.  

People are going to justify this because he complained once about being frustrated about his role because he feels like he's made plays in limited action (which he has), but if we sign Rishard Matthews I hope you guys all know that he has an attitude issue 10x worse than Pryor.

I'm not a fan of the move.  As much as I like Deontay Burnett from his USC days, he's not going to make any difference whatsoever.  There is a better chance of him being another Scotty McKnight than anything else of relevance.

[Bruce Harper 4,106]

I'm very surprised by this unless he is more of a D-bag than any of us knows.  Something about the way his ex-teammates from Washington treated him preseason would seem to suggest that this might be the case.

[edrhew 17]

Another one... Dez?

That's not true at all.  He's made some throws to Pryor where Pryor had to make some plays on the ball.

Anyway, this seems like a stupid move.

I would think that cap relief was not a concern. Who knows?

[UnitedWhofans 2,947]

Two things come to mind. Either he is more hurt than people think or they are making a move for a more permanent solution, like a Cooper

I want Cooper BAD! I think he can play and just needs a new situation. He was a pro bowler in his first two years. 

That doesn’t happen by luck. He’s so smooth running routes and Darnold needs that because he throws to his WR’s with a lot of trust that they will be in a certain spot on time.
