The Jets have released quarterback Bryce Petty, a source tells Manish Mehta of the Daily News (on Twitter). The Jets tried to find a trade for Petty before and during the draft, but could not find a suitable deal.

The Jets simply had no room for Petty, who will turn 27 in May. No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold and veteran Josh McCown are locks for the team while Teddy Bridgewater and Christian Hackenberg are battling for the final spot on the QB depth chart.
Petty has one season left on his rookie contract. He’s 1-6 in seven starts and a career 53.1 percent passer, having thrown four touchdown passes compared to 10 interceptions.
Petty had some buzz behind him in 2015 when the Jets used a fourth-round pick on him, so it stands to reason that he’ll garner attention elsewhere. But, given his lack of on-field success, it’s hard to see him getting significant guarantees in any deal he signs.
The Jets knew what they had in Petty and frankly, he’s an okay back up at best.
Good luck, Bryce !
Hope you are able to catch-on elsewhere !
Good guy.
Pats pick him up
Why?
It’s an obligatory comment.
So much for that interest in him for a trade
lmao watch there be an all out bidding war and he gets a osweiler contract
still upset the Jets put Petty in over Hackenberg just to see Petty stink
Cowboys seem to be compiling backup QB’s just in case Prescott falters in 2018. They are bringing in 3 QB’s to rookie camp, wouldn’t hurt to give Bryce Petty a shot at least. The kid is from Texas (Baylor U.) so why not?
Will probably find a taker if he settles for “Petty Cash”.
Even that may be considered “Petty Larceny”…..
Welcome to Winnipeg
Petty was better than several Bears, Browns and Niners QBs in recent years. Hard to think he won’t get a chance to carry a clipboard somewhere
Who’s the best bet on where he’ll land ?
