Jets waive Malachi Corley one year after ‘No matter what’ draft-day trade
NY Post
The YAC king has lost his crown.
The Jets will waive wide receiver Malachi Corley on Tuesday, a source confirmed, one year after drafting him in the third round.
Corley never found success with the Jets as a rookie and had a quiet spring and summer, making it tough for him to impress the new coaching staff.
The Jets drafted Corley 65th overall with much fanfare.
They traded up to get him and after the draft released a text message on social media from then-coach Robert Saleh to then-general manager Joe Douglas that said “No Matter What” with a photo of Corley, a reference to the movie “Draft Day.”
Corley was known as the “YAC King” at Western Kentucky for his ability to get yards after the catch. That never materialized with the Jets.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
