ESPN’s Rich Cimini believes “it’s clear from practice and game usage that second-year wide receiver Malachi Corley is on the roster bubble.”

During the 2024 NFL Draft, the Jets, under former head coach Robert Saleh and former GM Joe Douglas, traded two draft picks to move up and select Corley with the No. 65 overall pick. It’s been a disaster for Corley ever since, as the former Western Kentucky Hilltopper quickly fell out of favor with the old regime and caught just three passes for 16 yards across nine games. In Saturday’s preseason outing against the Giants, Corley played on 14 offensive snaps with the backups and failed to draw a target. He caught one pass for eight yards in the team’s first preseason game. Corely is a skilled player who drew comps to Deebo Samuel during the predraft process. If he doesn’t make the initial 53-man roster on cutdown day, there could be plenty of teams willing to take him on as a reclamation project.
