The Jets decided to part ways with cornerback Tae Hayes following an arrest for marijuana possession on Sunday morning. Hayes has been released by New York in light of the charges brought against him. Initially, the Jets acknowledged Hayes’ arrest in a brief statement but did not provide further details.
Hayes, aged 26, joined New York’s practice squad in October and played in one game for the team. He then signed a futures contract with the Jets in January. Beginning his career as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Hayes has had stints with multiple teams including the Jaguars, Dolphins, Vikings, Cardinals, Panthers, Patriots, Lions, and Ravens.
Following his arrest, Hayes was released from custody after posting a $300 bond early Sunday morning.
