NY Jets officially release Darryl Roberts in cap-saving move

The NY Jets made their second cut of the offseason releasing cornerback Darryl Roberts on Saturday. Roberts is the second player the Jets have cut this offseason coming a few days after the release of fellow cornerback Trumaine Johnson.

And with that, in a matter of days, the Jets’ Week 1 starting cornerbacks have both been released.

Roberts has spent the last four seasons with the Jets originally starting off as a depth cornerback/special-teams player. The Marshall product was drafted in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, but never played a game with the team.
