Jets Release Linebacker
The New York Jets officially placed linebacker Maalik Hall on waivers Friday, per the team’s official website.
Hall originally joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Southeastern Oklahoma State in April 2023. Shortly thereafter, the 25-year-old signed a three-year, $2.6 million contract with the Jets soon after.
Hall was waived during the preseason with an injury designation and later reverted to the team’s injured reserve list, where he remained for the duration of the season.
Having played five seasons of collegiate football at Southeastern Oklahoma State, Hall appeared in 43 games and recorded 154 tackles, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, a blocked kick and three passed-defensed. His standout season came in 2021, when he won the Great American Conference Defensive Player of the Year award.
