WR Stephen Hill was released by the Jets on Saturday as the team reduced to the 53-man limit. Hill was a 2012 second round pick of the team and has tremendous athleticism. Ultimately, Hill's lack of production and inconsistent hands cost him a roster spot. Hill will almost certainly be given another opportunity because during his tenure with the Jets he was catching passes from Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez and 2013 rookie Geno Smith. (CBS Sports)
