The New York Jets released cornerback Tae Hayes on Monday following his weekend arrest for marijuana possession.

Hayes, 26, was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor early Sunday morning in Morgan County, Alabama.

He appeared in one game for the Jets in 2023, tallying two tackles in a Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Hayes has 18 tackles in 14 games (no starts) with six teams since going undrafted out of Appalachian State in 2019.
