The New York Jets have cut ties with wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, a move that hardly comes as a surprise after the former TCU product was essentially phased out of Chan Gailey’s offense.
Kerley was a rarity for the Jets, a productive mid-round draft pick, something they haven’t had many of in recent years. Chosen in the 5th round of the 2011 NFL draft, Kerley was one of the team’s most reliable receivers and a lone bright spot on some of the worst offenses the Jets have ever produced.
Kerley’s most impressive work came in 2012 when he became the team’s top pass catcher following a slew of injuries to the wide receiving corps.
