Stephen Hill’s agent didn’t have nice things to say about the New York Jets front office following his client’s release today.
Hill showed zero signs of improvement this preseason. Even with question marks at receiver the Jetsdetermined it was better off without Hill on the roster.
However, Hill’s camp thinks the wideout never got a fair shake.
“I’m disappointed in (general manager John) Idzik and Rex (Ryan) with the way the whole thing went down there,” Hill’s agent, Alan Herman, told USA Today Sports. “Two years in that kind of situation is disheartening.
“He didn’t have a chance that first year with that whole Tim Tebow-Mark Sanchez fiasco. … His second year, Geno Smith was learning how to play quarterback. So they never threw the ball deep because they wanted to simplify things for Geno.”
The Jets had high hopes for Hill when he came out of Georgia Tech, but he clearly failed to meet those expectations. While Hill is incredibly gifted physically, he never put the whole thing together while in New York.
