The Facts: According to Daily News staffer Manish Mehta, the Jets are releasing Kerley.
Diehards Line:Kerley was a fifth-round pick of the Jets in 2011 and carved out a regular role as a slot receiver on offense and special teams stalwart during his years with the team. That offensive role went down sharply in 2015, however, and Kerley ended the year with just 16 catches despite playing in every game.
