How did 11 Jets departures play with their new teams in 2021?

How did some ex-Jets perform with their news teams in 2021 after leaving New York?

Joe Douglas sent a lot of players packing last offseason. For the most part, he made smart decisions, as ex-Jets didn’t fare too well with new teams in 2021 after middling careers in New York.

The most notable departures, such as Sam Darnold and Chris Herndon, squandered fresh starts in new cities. A few former Jets took advantage of increased opportunities elsewhere, but New York didn’t miss most of the players Douglas didn’t retain.

Here’s how 11 Jets cast-offs fared away from New York in 2021.

The Buccaneers were extra sure they quickly recovered Tom Brady’s 700th TD pass

The Buccaneers’ staffer showed elite awareness, he might have a future on the fields.

The Buccaneers learned from their early season mistake involving a record-setting touchdown pass from Tom Brady. Back in October, when Brady threw his 600th regular season pass, a fan ended up with the ball after Mike Evans tossed the ball into the stands during his celebration.

The fan gave the ball back, but it cost the team memorabilia and it cost Brady himself an entire Bitcoin — worth roughly $50,000 right now.

There was no way they were going to get got again in one of these instances and when 44-year old Tom Brady is the quarterback, milestones are going to be set constantly.

When Brady tossed a game-winning touchdown in overtime to Breshad Perriman, the 700th touchdown pass of his career including the playoffs, a member of the Buccaneers’ staff jumped into action and immediately grabbed the ball before chaos ensued.

If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.

Also, it’s fairly remarkable that Brady has played long enough to score 700 touchdowns.

Now, Brady will be looking to add his, uh, eighth Super Bowl ring as a starting quarterback as the season winds down.

Bills doomed vs. Buccaneers by pass interference that was… and wasn’t

The Bills’ furious comeback against the Buccaneers was thwarted by one pass interference call that should have been made, and one that shouldn’t have been.

With 7:06 left in overtime of the Sunday game between the Bills and the Buccaneers, Tom Brady threw a deep pass to Mike Evans, and though the pass was incomplete, cornerback Levi Wallace was flagged for pass interference. That gave the Buccaneers 19 free yards, moving from the Tampa Bay 16-yard line to the Tampa Bay 35-yard line, and set up Brady’s game-winning touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman three plays later.

The flag seemed highly suspicious, as Evans pulled off a veteran move — he saw that Wallace wasn’t turning his head to the ball, so he pulled Wallace to him, drawing the flag.

Former NFL referee and current NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay came to a similar conclusion.

What is the third-and-2 play McAulay was referring to? That came with 28 seconds left in regulation, when Bills quarterback Josh Allen tried to connect with receiver Stefon Diggs to the left side of the end zone. This was also incomplete, and while this was not flagged, it looked very much as if cornerback Carlton Davis got away with one.

The Bills had come back from a 24-3 first-half deficit to tie the game at 27, but they should have had another opportunity from the Buccaneers’ one-yard line, and it’s highly questionable as to whether the Buccaneers should have been allotted those extra 19 yards in overtime.

There’s no way to know if the touchdown pass to Perriman still would have happened…

…not only because the play call may have been different were the Bucs backed up, but also because the Bills should have been given one more chance to punch the ball in, winning the game outright in regulation.

Once again, a close and thrilling game is marred by poor officiating, and if you wanted to throw a conspiracy theory that the NFL very much wants Brady and the Bucs to work their way up the NFC’s playoff standings, you’d get a lot of buyers in Buffalo. Given the body of work performed by NFL officials this season, we’ll just leave you with Hanlon’s Razor:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Radio call as Tom Brady breaks Bills’ hearts again … in overtime

Tom Brady was in a different uniform but he still managed to break the Bills

The Buffalo Bills had rallied to force overtime. They had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pinned at their 6-yard line.

Tom Brady wouldn’t do it to the Bills once again, would he?

Of course, he would and of course, he did.

The GOAT led a 94-yard drive that culminated with a 58-yard pass to Breshad Perriman for a touchdown and a 33-27 victory for Tampa Bay over Buffalo on Sunday.

The winning play was the 700th TD pass of Brady’s remarkable NFL career and came on a third-and-3.

It also was the only time Brady targeted Perriman in the entire game.

The radio call:

The GOAT is 33-3 against the Bills, who have not defeated Brady in 10 years.

The winning play spoiled a comeback that saw Buffalo rally from 21 down and score 17 points in less than 9 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Mess with the GOAT and you wind up with the horns.

Bears are releasing WR Breshad Perriman

The Bears have released WR Breshad Perriman, who was inactive for 8 weeks, possibly to make room for RB David Montgomery coming off IR.

The Chicago Bears are making roster moves ahead of Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, although this one isn’t entirely surprising.

The Bears are releasing wide receiver Breshad Perriman, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Chicago claimed Perriman at final cut downs in early September, but he’s been inactive every week.

Perriman’s release frees up a roster spot, which could indicate running back David Montgomery is about to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday’s game against the Steelers.

Perriman most recently spent time with the Detroit Lions this offseason before being released as part of final cutdown. The previous season, Perriman played for the New York Jets, where he caught 30 passes for 505 yards and three touchdowns.

Perriman, a former first-round pick in 2015, missed his rookie season with the Baltimore Ravens due to injuries. He struggled to establish himself in the two years that followed, and he was released following 2017. Perriman has since bounced around, spending time with the Cleveland Browns (2018), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019), Jets (2020), Lions (2021) and now Bears (2021).

5 things to know about new Bears WR Breshad Perriman

The Bears made the Breshad Perriman official. Here are five things to know about the new Bears receiver.

The Chicago Bears signed veteran wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday to a one-year deal worth $990,000. Matt Nagy vows to stay postive with the new receiver, as he gets a new start in the NFL.

Here are five things to know about the newest Bear, who comes aboard ahead of Chicago’s Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Ex-Lions WR Breshad Perriman officially signs with the Chicago Bears

Perriman gets another shot, this time with the rival Chicago Bears, after quickly washing out of Detroit

Breshad Perriman didn’t have to travel far to find his latest NFL home. Less than a week after being cut by the Detroit Lions, the journeyman veteran receiver has signed with the NFC North rival Chicago Bears.

Chicago made it official on Monday after initially agreeing to terms over the weekend. To make room on the active 53-man roster for Perriman, the Bears waived LB Josh Woods.

Perriman initially projects as the No. 4 receiver on the Bears, according to Bears Wire’s Alyssa Barbieri. The Lions passed on slotting Perriman into that same level of role in Detroit after an underwhelming, drop-filled summer by the one-time first-round pick of the Ravens. Detroit opted to go with younger, more reliable options in Kalif Raymond newcomer Trinity Benson and claimed KhaDarel Hodge off waivers to bring more grit and special teams oomph.

Bears officially sign WR Breshad Perriman, waive LB Josh Woods

The Bears made the signing of WR Breshad Perriman official and have waived LB Josh Woods.

The Chicago Bears have officially signed wide receiver Breshad Perriman, the team announced Monday. The signing was first reported last Wednesday, but it wasn’t made official until now.

Perriman adds even more speed to Chicago’s speedy wide receivers room, running a 4.25 second 40-yard dash in the combine in 2015. He projects to serve as the team’s WR4 behind Allen Robinson, Darnell Mooney, Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd.

Last season, Perriman caught 30 passes for 505 yards and three touchdowns with the New York Jets. Earlier this offseason, he signed with the Detroit Lions but was released last week.

The Bears have also waived linebacker Josh Woods to make room for Perriman on the 53-man roster, which now leaves the Bears with five inside linebackers on the roster.

With Danny Trevathan on injured reserve for at least the first three weeks, it’s Roquan Smith, Alec Ogletree, Christian Jones, Joel Iyiegbuniwe and Caleb Johnson at inside linebacker for Chicago.

Breaking down the Bears’ latest roster moves

The Bears made quite a few roster moves on Wednesday, which we’re breaking down right here.

The Chicago Bears have been busy over the last couple of days, finalizing their initial 53-man roster, placing players on injured reserves, bringing back players on the active roster and building their practice squad.

Following the initial 53-man roster, the Bears made six roster moves — with one more in progress — on the 53-man roster on Wednesday, as well as brought back plenty of familiar faces on the practice squad.

Here’s a look at all the roster moves Chicago made on Wednesday:

WATCH: Highlights of new Bears WR Breshad Perriman

The Chicago Bears added WR Breshad Perriman on Wednesday with the hope he’ll bring more speed to the passing game.

The Chicago Bears signed veteran wide receiver Breshad Perriman Wednesday in a move that was greeted with some frustration by the fans.

It’s not that Perriman isn’t an intriguing addition to the passing game because of his combination of size and speed, but his signing was at the expense of Rodney Adams, who became something of a fan favorite this summer.

Perriman is coming off an underwhelming 2020 season with the New York Jets. He appeared in 12 games and finished with just 30 catches for 505 yards and three touchdowns. On the plus side, he averaged nearly 17 yards per catch, which was in line with his career average of 16.5 yards per reception.

Perriman was the 26th overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft and his career has fallen way short of expectations, largely because of injuries. He’s appeared in 63 games in five seasons and has just 125 catches for 2,066 yards and 14 scores. His best season came in 2019 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he recorded 36 catches for 645 yards and six touchdowns.

So what’s left in Perriman’s oft-injured tank? Judge for yourself. Here are his highlights from the 2020 season:
