After two seasons as a backup to Geno Smith, Matt Simms' time with the New York Jets is over. He was released Thursday by the team.
It became obvious in recent weeks that Simms' days were numbered. The Jets added two quarterbacks, drafting Bryce Petty in the fourth round and signing Jake Heaps as an undrafted free agent. Suddenly, there were five on the depth chart (don't forget about Ryan Fitzpatrick), and Todd Bowles indicated his plan is take only four to training camp.
