FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Well that didn’t last long.
The New York Jets have released punter Steve Weatherford, four days after signing him in a pinch while he was in the middle of co-hosting a radio show.
Weatherford punted in the Jets’ 30-23 loss at New England on Sunday as an emergency replacement for Ryan Quigley, who was unavailable with an infection in his right shin. Weatherford averaged just 40.3 yards, with a net of 30.8, on four punts. He had not punted in a game since being released by the Giants last month.
