Quincy Enunwa’s time with the Jets has come to an end. New York cut the oft-injured wide receiver on Monday in addition to a handful of other moves.
Enunwa, who was already on the reserve/PUP list, showed an abundance of promise in 2016 when he emerged as a starter and had 857 receiving yards.
Since then, however, his career has been plagued by neck injuries. He missed the entire 2017 season, played in just the first game of the 2019 season and was set to miss the entire 2020 season.
Despite his injury history, ex-Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan gave Enunwa a four-year deal for $36 million with $20 million guaranteed in December 2018.
Enunwa played just that one 2019 game on that deal. His $6 million base salary in 2020 is fully guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The team also waived RB/gunner Trenton Cannon, who has dealt with a significant foot injury, OL Ben Braden and OLB Wyatt Ray
