Jets Release LB Alec Ogletree & WR Josh Malone, Add Three

The New York Jets announced Saturday that they’ve signed OL Jimmy Murray to their active roster and elevated QB Mike White and DB Lamar Jackson from the practice squad.

The Jets also released LB Alec Ogletree and WR Josh Malone from their active roster. 

Ogletree, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Rams back in 2013. He played out the final year of his four-year, $7.03 million contract and later signed a  five-year, $42.29 million contract with the Rams.

The Rams traded Ogletree to the Giants in 2018 for a fourth-round pick and a swap of late-round picks. New York opted to release him this past February and he just recently signed on to the Jets’ practice squad.  

In 2020, Ogletree has appeared in two games for the Jets and recorded three tackles.
