That&#8217;s especially true with Wilson and Reynolds. Beyond these three, there are even more questions marks right now, including about the future of Malachi Corley. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z7me3qm0l\">He was drafted in the third round of the 2024 National Football League Draft and had a tough season and therefore plenty of have been willing to give up on him this offseason. Bleacher Report&#8217;s Gary Davenport even called him <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1m5uude\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25235938-1-player-each-nfl-team-should-cut-2025-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New York&#8217;s top cut candidate.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley\" title=\"New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dec 1, 2024; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley (14) celebrates after a play during the first quarter against the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark Smith-Imagn Images \/ Mark Smith-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_c6hkuk2nd\">&#8220;WR Malachi Corley,&#8221; Davenport said. &#8220;Here we go again. Another recent Day 2 draft pick who is on the thinnest of ice\u2014in part because the current regime didn&#8217;t have anything to do with drafting him. Corley was essentially invisible for the Jets as a rookie\u2014three catches for 16 yards in 83 snaps and a would-be touchdown run that became a turnover when dropped the ball to celebrate before crossing the goal line. He also missed a chunk of OTAs, which wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson admitted put the youngster at a disadvantage entering camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vjjsbbvvj\">&#8220;&#8216;My old coach, Bill Parcells, used to say the first thing you need to be is you need to be available,&#8217; Jefferson told reporters. &#8216;He&#8217;s missed some time, and there&#8217;s a learning curve here, so he&#8217;s in catch-up mode right now.&#8217; In the first preseason game, Corley was out there with third-stringers. But rather than blow by a bunch of scrubs, he caught just one pass. He\u2019s playing his way right off the Gang Green roster.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_y5lvlt41z\">This has been a popular talking point throughout the summer. He had just three catches last season and the summer hasn&#8217;t gone his way either. This is all true. But, he is just 23 years old. It may be a little early to give up on him right now. After the 2025 season, sure. But, right now, it&#8217;s a little early. But, you&#8217;ll likely see his name a lot over the next few weeks because speculation is running rampant right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9p2c3ssio\"><strong>More NFL: <\/strong><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1m5uude\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jets\/news\/ex-lion-set-to-be-secret-weapon-for-jets-this-season-pat3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Ex-Lion Set To Be Secret Weapon For Jets This Season<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets&#8217; wide receiver room is going to be discussed at length over the next few&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":150808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-150807","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-newyork","12":"tag-newyorkcity","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115039135697399988","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
