With some recent injuries, the New York Jets have been busy looking for quality players to add depth to the roster, specifically the Wide Receiver position. Today Wide Receiver Ben Obomanu was released from the team. Three penalties this past Sunday against the Tennessee Titans likely did not help his case.
