When the Jets needed a quarterback for training camp after Geno Smith got punched in the face, coach Todd Bowles described Matt Flynn as “the only one available, too.”
So today’s news probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise.
Flynn just tweeted out a thank you and goodbye to the Jets, saying he was headed back to Louisiana. And then he tweeted out a photo of a giant Bloody Mary, so he’s apparently handling it well.
The Jets also cut Josh Johnson, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, leaving rookie Bryce Petty behind Ryan Fitzpatrick while they wait on Smith to recover from his broken jaw.
