Last weekend, the New York Jets decided to shockingly release linebacker Jachai Polite. Gang Green had just drafted the rookie in the third round of April’s NFL Draft out of the University of Florida.
Apparently, Polite had missed numerous meetings and racked up more than $100,000 in fines because of those absences and late arrivals. Ultimately, the Jets decided to part ways with him.
It wasn’t too long before Polite found a new organization though. The rookie signed with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad this week and will have a new opportunity in front of him.
