UPDATE: Former Green Bay Packers Captain Released by New York Jets …
In a surprising move, the New York Jets are letting go of a former captain from the Green Bay Packers this Saturday. This decision comes after the Jets made several additions from the Packers during the offseason, particularly acquiring Aaron Rodgers in a trade earlier this year.
While many of the new additions were focused on strengthening the offense, the Jets also brought in safety Adrian Amos to bolster their defense for the current season. Amos had served as a team captain for the Green Bay Packers in the 2022 season.
Breaking the news, Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network reported that the Jets and Adrian Amos have mutually agreed to part ways.

Having started in 11 games for the Jets this season, Amos contributed with 23 total tackles and seven stops. Pro Football Focus acknowledged his performance, awarding him a grade of 72.7 for the season.
The timing and circumstances surrounding Amos’ departure raise questions, as he was having a commendable season on a team with a solid defense. There might be more to the story explaining why Amos is leaving the Jets, given his positive impact on the team’s performance.
