NY Jets Release Greg McElroy and Mike Edwards

By Henry Quintero Posted On August 31, 2013

The Jets have started their cuts today and Quarterback Greg McElroy is one of the first ones to be released. McElroy suffered a mild knee injury right before the 4th preseason game vs the Philadelphia Eagles, which allowed the opportunity for Matt Simms to come in and seize the 3rd string Quarterback position. Matt Simms good play vs the Eagles made the decision easier for the team to move on from McElroy.

The Jets have released QB Greg McElroy, paving the way for Matt Simms to make the 53-man roster, per sources.
