FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — All Todd Bowles wants are reliable football players. And it’s clear that Dee Milliner and Jace Amaro didn’t fit what the Jets are trying to build.
“We’ve got to go with healthy guys that can play football,” Bowles said Monday.
Milliner and Amaro, two of the Jets’ most disappointing draft picks in recent years, were released Saturday as the team slashed its roster to 53 players. But while the cuts spoke volumes about the previous regime’s drafting strategy, Bowles insisted that the players’ ties to former general manager John Idzik didn’t seal their fate.
