FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Former Baylor player Robert Griffin has been cut. No, not that one.

The Jets released 15 players Friday, including tackle Robert T. Griffin, who blocked for Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III at Baylor and was New York's sixth-round draft pick. He is not related to the Redskins quarterback chosen No. 2 overall in the draft.
