The New York Jets officially released WR Quinton Patton from the injured reserve with a settlement on Thursday.
Patton, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He just finished the final year of a four-year, $2.551 million rookie contract that included a $391,500 signing bonus.
Patton went down with a foot injury during Week 15’s game against the Falcons and was subsequently placed on the season-ending injured reserve. The Jets signed him to a one-year $825,000 contract this past March before recently waiving him with an injury designation and later placing him on injured reserve.
