Despite former New York Jets GM Joe Douglas trading up in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft to acquire Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley (whom Douglas had ranked higher than Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey), the much-maligned wideout touched the ball just five times during his rookie season.
Fresh off that disaster of a rookie campaign, Aaron Glenn did not want to entertain the idea of developing Corley anymore and parted ways with him. Corley's stock has fallen so far in just one year that it is fair to wonder where his next football paycheck is coming from.
