Report: Jets cut former 2nd-round pick Stephen Hill

Adam Hunger / USA Today

The New York Jets are reportedly parting ways with 2012 second-round pick Stephen Hill, allowing the 23-year-old wide receiver to continue his career with another team.

The Jets apparently tried to trade Hill, but opted to waive him after a deal could not be reached.

The Jets also released three veterans: Daryl Richardson, A.J. Edds and Johnny Patrick.

Richardson was claimed off waivers earlier in the offseason after he was released by the St. Louis Rams. The release of Patrick is a surprise considering the Jets' thin secondary.
