Jets release WR Malachi Corley

ESPN

Aug 26, 2025 · 3:54 PM EDT

A year ago, the New York Jets wanted Malachi Corley so much that they traded up and selected him with the first pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft.

On Tuesday, they cut him, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

There were jobs available in the Jets' receiving corps, but Corley was leapfrogged by a handful of players, including rookie free agents. He played 53 offensive snaps in the preseason, fifth among the New York receivers, but managed only one catch for 8 yards. He also returned four kickoffs for 101 yards, the story said.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson signs four-year, $130M extension

Jets and wide receiver Garrett Wilson reached agreement on a four-year, $130 million contract extension that includes $90 million guaranteed.

It marks the first time in NFL history that a receiver has received an average over $31 million after playing only three seasons. Wilson now will be under contract the next six seasons, through 2030.

Related Players: Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Malachi Corley

Fantasy Impact:

This is a massive vote of confidence from a team that desperately needs Wilson to play out of his mind to support a middling group of pass-catchers. Justin Fields isn't likely to be a voluminous passer, but Wilson presents an obvious opportunity to soak up a ton of the target share in 2025. We currently have him ranked as a mid-tier WR2.

Josh Reynolds is "clear-cut" leader for Jets WR2 job

After a strong offseason, Reynolds is the clear-cut leader for the WR2 job. He arrived with little fanfare as a free agent (one year, $2.8 million), mainly because of a down 2024 with the Broncos and Jaguars. It also was a turbulent year; he suffered arm and head wounds in a shooting.

New Jets coach Aaron Glenn knows Reynolds from their time in Detroit, where the 30-year-old receiver was a solid complementary option. Beyond Garrett Wilson, the Jets lack big-play ability after cutting Davante Adams. Reynolds has separated from Allen Lazard and others.

Related Players: Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, Malachi Corley

Fantasy Impact:

This seems a little surprising, until you look at the rest of the depth chart, that is. With Justin Fields at the helm, we should expect a very run-heavy offense in New York, and even if he loses the job, we would expect more of the same from Tyrod Taylor. Reynolds makes for an interesting stacking partner with Fields, though he's much closer to a fantasy WR5 than a WR2.

Jets cutting WR Davante Adams

The Jets are cutting WR Davante Adams, per source.

Unable to find a trade partner for the 3x All-Pro, New York is moving on and freeing up almost $30M in cap space.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Malachi Corley, Xavier Gipson

Fantasy Impact:

Adams played in 11 games for the 5-12 Jets, and it looks like he could end up joining Aaron Rodgers somewhere else in 2025. Lazard is also almost guaranteed to be playing elsewhere next season, as New York will try to regroup under new head coach Aaron Glenn.
