Jets CB arrested for marijuana possession
After a season lowlighted by Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury, the New York Jets are looking to re-focus on football and get back to winning. But before training camp begins, the Jets saw one of their cornerbacks get into a bit of legal trouble.
Tae Hayes was arrested for marijuana possession in Alabama on Sunday, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. A second-degree misdemeanor crime, Hayes was released on a $300 bond. The Jets are aware of Hayes’ situation but won’t comment as it’s now an ongoing legal manner.
While the NFL has relaxed it’s view on marijuana in terms of its drug policy, Hayes could still face punishment from the league. Like the Jets, they will likely see how the legal process plays out before making a decision. But the fact it’s a misdemeanor and his bond was so low plays into Hayes’ favor, at least legally.
The cornerback appeared in just one game for New York in 2023, making two tackles. Hayes has played for six different franchises over his NFL career, appearing in 14 games. With only 18 career tackles, two passes defended and a forced fumble, Hayes has been more of a special teams contributor than overall defensive standout.
And perhaps that’s how the Jets plan – or maybe planned following his arrest – to use Tae Hayes in 2024. New York already has a stacked cornerback room with names like Sauce Gardner, DJ Reed and Michael Carter. If he remains with the team, it’ll be hard for Hayes to carve out a true role on defense.
But for now, the corner will focus on how his legal proceedings play out. While he’ll have to wait potential NFL punishment, Hayes will at least hope his legal repercussions are settled by the start of training camp. The Jets, in all of this, are still looking ahead towards simply improving their football team.
