The Jets cut ties with cornerback Dee Milliner and tight end Jace Amaro, two high draft picks once considered future cornerstones of the franchise. They also made the unconventional choice to keep four quarterbacks as they reduced their roster to the 53-player limit.
Milliner was the No. 9 overall pick in 2013, but injuries and inconsistency prevented him from living up to expectations. Amaro was a second-rounder in 2014 who missed last season with a shoulder injury.
