Jets release wide receiver Terrelle Pryor

The New York Jets are not wasting time with wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. The team signed him in the off-season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Pryor will be released today. He has already received his $1 million signing bonus by the team.

He has also already made $1 million in base salary.

In his limited time with the team, he has not done much. He has 14 receptions for 235 yards and two touchdowns.

He had five receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts in the team’s last game. He had his best game of the season in a Week 2 20-12 loss to the Miami Dolphins when he had four receptions for 84 yards. 

Pryor reportedly has a torn groin injury. He will reportedly miss two weeks.

The report says the team is willing to bring him back when he gets healthy. So, that begs the question: Why are they releasing him now?

In the NFL, players get hurt all the time. Many times, when they suffer minor injuries, they will be dealt with on a week-by-week basis.

Sometimes, the week-by-week injury turns into a long-term injury.

It seems like Pryor’s injury is only minor and will only sideline him for two weeks.
