FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In a surprising move, the New York Jets released veteran backup safety Adrian Amos, the team announced on Saturday.
Amos, 30, an eight-year starter with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, was primarily a backup for the Jets, but he did play on 248 defensive snaps. His role, though, was reduced in recent weeks, leading to what a source described to ESPN as a mutual parting.
The Jets made the move, in part, to create playing time for younger backups Ashtyn Davis and rookie Jarrick Bernard-Converse.
