Just one day after Coples saw the field for only one snap against the Houston Texans, Gang Green parted ways with the former North Carolina product.
Coples had high hopes entering the 2015 season after averaging just 5 sacks per year through his first three pro campaigns. However, slowly but surely his playing time dwindled and the writing was on the wall that he was not a fit for the Jets and Bowles.
