Statjeff22 posted a good link about this. The Jets paid pryoP an injury settlement of 4 weeks salary so they could not resigned him before that 4 week period.
I'm pretty sure all the original articles mentioned an injury but did not mention the injury settlement.
sounds more like he wasn't happy with his playing time and the jets didn't want to hear that and released him but were forced to pay a settlement becuase he was hurt, which he agreed to because he wanted to go where he could get more snaps. ironically had he shut his mouth, he would be getting more snaps with out injuries right now
Did he even play? I don't remember seeing him, but I was too busy being pissed off to pay attention to that.
He definitely played They mentioned him being in during a red zone possesion and I thought to myself “ this would be icing on the cale for him to help beat us” but he didnt
He definitely played - he was on the field when they recovered the fumble for a touchdown (he's number 10 below). He was targeted three times, but didn't make a catch: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/recap/NFL_20181111_BUF@NYJ/
