The New York Jets have had enough of DeMarcus Milliner after two injury filled seasons.
Milliner was waived from the team on Saturday, according to its transaction list. The former first round pick was a lockdown cornerback in three seasons at Alabama (2010-12), totaling 128 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 36 pass breakups and six interceptions. He would go on to be a unanimous All-American and first-team All-SEC selection in 2012, while being a member on Alabama’s 2012 Southeastern Conference championship team and two BCS national championship squads.
He sustained multiple injuries since being drafted in 2013, including wrist, ankle and Achilles.
