Jets' 2024 Third-Round Pick in Jeopardy of Being Released
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new era of New York Jets football seems to be on the horizon. In search of their first playoff appearance since 2010, New York's front office will make any changes necessary to help its team get there. That could mean the release of last season's third-round pick, wide receiver Malachi Corley. GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 09: Malachi Corley #6 of the New York Jets looks on prior to the game against the Green Bay Packers during the NFL Preseason 2025 game at Lambeau Field on... GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 09: Malachi Corley #6 of the New York Jets looks on prior to the game against the Green Bay Packers during the NFL Preseason 2025 game at Lambeau Field on August 09, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. MoreBleacher Report's Gary Davenport listed Corley as the one player that the Jets should release prior to their season opener next month. "Corley was essentially invisible for the Jets as a rookie -- three catches for 16 yards in 83 snaps and a would-be touchdown run that became a turnover when dropped the ball to celebrate before crossing the goal line," Davenport wrote. Davenport went on to discuss that Corley's recent action with the third stringers in New York's recent preseason game could be the writing on the wall for Corley's time with the Jets. "In the first preseason game, Corley was out there with third stringers. But rather than blow by a bunch of scrubs, he caught just one pass. He's playing his way right off the Gang Green roster," he wrote. Corley had a stellar career at Western Kentucky, racking up 259 catches for 3,035 yards and 29 touchdowns in four seasons. His excellent numbers helped him fly up draft boards and become a Day 2 pick in last season's draft. As a rookie OC, there are bound to be plenty of questions about how good Tanner Engsrand can be for the @nyjets. One way to answer that in a hurry? Get this guy going ASAP. Malachi Corley can play. — Glenn Naughton (@JNRadio_Glenn) June 27, 2025 Fast forward just over a year later and Corley may now have just one final week on the Jets roster before he is potentially released. The good news for him, is it will be very likely that multiple teams will be willing to take a chance on a third-round pick from just one season ago. A release from New York should certainly not be the end of Corley's NFL career. More NFL: Insider Believes Blockbuster Trade Could Be in the Works for the Patriots

Sheridan football has new coach for first time in 6 decades. Expectations are same as always — win
SHERIDAN – When Larry 'Bud' Wright was hired to coach the Sheridan High School football team, he was the Blackhawks' fifth coach in nine years. He took over a program that had not posted a winning record in eight years. The year was 1966. For nearly six decades, Wright patrolled the sidelines for Sheridan football. He won a state record 464 games during his coaching career, bringing nine state championships to this Hamilton County community and coaching three generations of players. One of those players, Jake Chesney, will coach the first game in the post-Bud Wright era when the Blackhawks play Greenwood Christian on Friday night to open the 2025 season. Wright, all of 5-foot-4 ¼, can still cast a long shadow at school where the stadium is named after the longtime coach. 'I feel the responsibility,' said Chesney, a 2016 Sheridan graduate. 'I don't feel the pressure. I feel the responsibility because I was born and raised in this program. In a football family in a football town. The history of the program, the school and all the success we've had, yeah, we've got to make the alumni proud. It's about the guys on the field, but we have an obligation to play our butts off. That part is never going to change.' After graduating from Trine University, where he played football, Chesney returned to Sheridan to coach on Wright's staff for two years. Last year, before he was hired as the Carmel coach, Wright's son Kevin coached on the staff with Chesney. Kevin's experience as a successful coach in high school and college was obvious to Chesney, who said he 'tried to be as much of a sponge as I possibly could.' 'If he would have allowed me, I would have stayed around for hours just to watch him draw stuff up,' Chesney said. 'I learned so much from him in our limited time. He's truly the best. It was a huge blessing not only being under Bud but being able to coach with Kevin.' Sheridan football has always had a family feel. That will not change on Chesney's watch. His father, Don, was a volunteer coach on Wright's staff for years. When Jake took the job, he did not even have to ask his dad about coaching the defense. 'Yeah, no,' he said with a laugh. 'It was almost unspoken. It was off and running.' His older brother, Garrett, will coach the quarterbacks. Younger brother Luke is also on the coaching staff. There is a mix of coaches who have been on staff previously and those who were added. 'You would think it's almost a ground zero kind of start,' said Alex Cravens, Sheridan's senior running back/linebacker. 'There is a new coaching staff. But it's the same culture as it's been. Nothing has changed there. It's the same level of responsibility for each person. It's been great having those guys keep us in check.' Don Chesney, who married into the Sheridan tradition when he met wife Violet, a Sheridan graduate, displayed that fire on Friday during the Blackhawks' scrimmage against Crawfordsville. When a starter was flagged for a personal foul, Chesney quickly made it clear that behavior would not fly. 'Don't take away my yards!' Chesney yelled. The player later apologized to his team after the game. But the defense did not allow Crawfordsville to score a touchdown during the scrimmage, a sign the message is getting through. 'It's something I was born into and raised around but it's also the personality of the team, too,' Jake Chesney said. 'We're high energy. We're upbeat. We're positive. Shoot, if you aren't fired up to play football on Friday night, go play soccer. But everyone out here is fired up and ready to go. That's the personality of the staff and the personality of the team.' The expectations are the same as always: win. Sheridan goes into the season unranked in Class A after a 7-6 season, but the program has won three consecutive sectional championships. There are 12 seniors, including Cravens (1,077 rushing yards, eight touchdowns) and Jon Barnes (662 rushing yards, eight TDs). Senior receiver Chance Spencer will be a playmaker on the edge for junior quarterback Brock Hagan. The offense was a little hit-and-miss against Crawfordsville but did put the ball in the end zone three times. Sheridan will still lean on the downhill running game Wright made a staple of Sheridan football but expect the Blackhawks to take to the air more frequently. 'We've got some things to clean up on offense, but I think we did pretty well for not having any scrimmages this summer,' Hagan said. 'Once we get everything cleaned up, we'll be looking good. It's a bit of a change but everybody is buying in.' The biggest change, of course, is on the sideline. It was a bit of an uneasy split last year for Wright and Sheridan. The school said it had agreed with Wright during the season it would be his final year as coach. Wright disagreed, saying the administration forced him out. He is helping out at North Miami this season. The man who replaced Wright has nothing but respect for his former coach. 'I've been handed a silver platter,' Chesney said. 'As a player, my whole life, Bud Wright has been a big part of all of that. I'm thankful that he allowed me to come back after college and spend the handful of years I did with him. The discipline, the fundamentals. He's old-school football. Everybody knows it. He's a football guy through and through.' The next chapter of Sheridan football probably will not last 59 years. It will look the same in some ways, different in others. 'We're having fun out there,' Cravens said. 'Everyone bought in and is having a great time. Have fun, do your job. I think that's what everyone is doing.'

Can The Sabres Send A Message To The Dallas Stars Next Year?
The Buffalo Sabres face an incredible amount of pressure next season to end their 14-year Stanley Cup playoff drought and take a competitive step forward as a franchise. But it's not going to be easy, no matter who their opponent is. And one of the Sabres' toughest opponents next season is the Dallas Stars -- one of the best teams in the highly-competitive Central Division, and the league, for that matter.
