In an article written by Rich Cimini of ESPN, he confirmed that the New York Jets are not picking up the fifth-year option of safety Calvin Pryor. With the Jets selecting not one but two safeties in the 2017 NFL Draft, it was a clear message that they decided to move on without Pryor in the long-term picture.
The truth of the matter is that Pryor regressed tremendously last season and is the definition of inconsistency. He developed the nickname “Louisville Slugger” but failed to live up to the hype usually associated with a first-round selection.
