The Jets have released tight end Will Tye. Tye was a healthy scratch on Sunday, so his release doesn’t come as a major surprise. 
Tye, 26 in November, started 17 games for the Giants over the past two seasons. He was waived during roster cutdowns but the Jets claimed him 24 hours later. Since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2015, Tye averaged 45 receptions, 430 yards, and two touchdowns for the Giants, but he had just four catches for 38 yards in three games for Gang Green..
Tye’s roster spot may be filled by the return of wide receiver Jalin Marshall. Marshall is eligible to return this week after serving a four-game ban for Adderall.
Even with Tye out of the picture, the Jets still have four tight ends on the roster in Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Neal Sterling, Eric Tomlinson, and Jordan Leggett.
