The New York Jets announced Wednesday that they’ve released S Blake Countess.
Countess, 26, was taken in the sixth round out of Auburn in 2016 by the Eagles. He was cut loose coming out of the preseason and later signed on to the Rams practice squad.
The Eagles later claimed Countess off waivers from the Rams before waiving him during the preseason with an injury settlement. From there, he caught on with the Jets in October.
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Countess will free up $1.2 million of available cap space while creating $65,000 in dead money.
In 2019, Countess was active for six games, but did not record a statistic.
