The New York Jets cut Jachai Polite 128 days after making him the 68th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. It’s not unusual for players to get cut from NFL rosters but it is unusual for a team to part ways with a third round pick four months after picking him.
Since Polite was cut by the Jets details have emerged that the former Florida Gators edge rusher was fined more than $100,000 dollars for “tardiness and other issues.”
During his three years in Gainesville Polite never had an off the field issue that was reported.
