Jets Cut Punter Conley

Just days from the opening game the Jets have decided to release punter T.J. Conley:

Conley was ranked 30^th in league per punt average (42.7 YRDS

) in 2011.  The Jets brought in limited competition at the position this offseason and it looked as if Conley would punt for the team in 2012.

It is not clear who Conley’s replacement will be but according to Brian Costello of the New York Post former Dallas Cowboys punter Matt McBriar is the leading candidate:

Roster Updates:

• Sign punter Malone.
• Cut DT Isaako Aaitui.
• Bring Back DT Marcus Dixon.
• Try Out WR Derek Hagan and LS Charley Hughlett.
