New York Jets Release Backup Safety Adrian Amos

Move made to create playing time for younger backups, with Jordan Whitehead and Tony Adams remaining as starters.

Overview

  • Adrian Amos, the backup safety for the New York Jets, has been released by the team.
  • Amos, who had previously been a starter for the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, played in all 11 games this season, starting three, and took part in 34 percent of the team's defensive snaps.
  • The Jets signed Amos to a one-year $1.75 million guaranteed deal in June after projected starter Chuck Clark suffered a season-ending knee injury.
  • The decision to release Amos is partly to create playing time for younger backups Ashtyn Davis and rookie Jarrick Bernard-Converse.
  • Jordan Whitehead and Tony Adams are currently the starters at safety for the Jets.
