The Jets took a lot of heat for cutting third-round rookie Jachai Polite before the start of the season. They’re not looking quite as foolish now. On Monday, the Seahawks released the pass rusher from the practice squad.
Polite, who racked up eleven sacks during his final season at the University of Florida, went unclaimed after the Jets cut him in late August. His natural ability is undeniable, but his overall maturity has been questioned. It’s possible that his penchant for tardiness reared itself again in Seattle, pushing him out of the picture.
Polite’s rudeness resulted in $100K in fines during his short time with the Jets. Despite all the hiccups, it stands to reason that he’ll get another taxi squad opportunity soon.
As a sad Jets fan it doesn’t make me feel any better. Seattle just took a “nothing to lose chance” on him. The Jets wasted a third round pick on him.

I think they look more foolish for using a 3rd rounder on him in the first place…
Not a very POLITE thing for them to do !!
‘Polite’s rudeness resulted in $100K in fines…’great line
Agreed. I’m surprised PapiElf didn’t catch it first.
Welcome to the XFL
Raiders need to take a chance. Pass rush sucks…….again……for like the 15th consecutive year.
Fins will probably give him a shot.
Too many former Gators are causing issues. It’s unacceptable period for this type of behaviour let alone a former Gator!
