The 2014 Edition : Jets continue to suck (what else is new)

The move, confirmed by the team, came as no surprise, considering the receiver's disappointing career with the team. He ended each of his first two seasons on injured reserve and caught just 45 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns in 23 games.

Hill played his final preseason game in a Jet uniform on Friday night, catching one pass for 13 yards and dropping another in a blowout loss to the Eagles. After the game, the receiver seemed surprised by all of the questions about his status on the team and denied he was worried about making the final cut.

Asked on Friday about his erratic preseason, Hill said: "It's basically opportunities. Gotta get a lot more opportunities and then take advantage of the opportunities that were given to me. It's just one of those up-and-down preseasons . . . It was all right."

The Jets shoulder some of the blame for Hill's lack of production, however. They moved up to take the Georgia Tech product 43rd overall in 2012, knowing that Hill was raw and would be a project. The organization banked on his upside - his athleticism and speed - but in the end, he wound up being a major disappointment.​
