Saw the Wiggins thread, and thought I'd post some news on another ex-Pat.

JETS CUT TIM DWIGHT
by Michael David Smith
The Jets announced today that they were releasing several players, including wide receiver/kick returner Tim Dwight, who had been on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Even if he were fully healthy, Dwight, who joined the Jets last year, may have been expendable because the Jets have an abundance of guys who can play the slot receiver and return kicks. Dwight is 32 years old and heading in his 10th NFL season, and it's possible that his career is over.
"This is tough no matter who it is. It's hard to tell someone they're not making the team," Jets coach Eric Mangini said. "Tim, having a relationship and knowing him for a while, knowing the type of person he is, the character he has, it's always that much more difficult."
The Jets also released defensive end Darrell Adams, defensive tackle Zarnell Fitch, running back Tony Hollings, cornerback Rayshaun Kizer, wide receiver Dante Ridgeway, offensive lineman Nick Smith and wide receiver Juan Wong. The Jets have now reached tomorrow's mandatory limit of 75 active roster players.
