Patriots cut TE Seferian-Jenkins
The New England Patriots released veteran tight end AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS. The 26-year-old tight end has bounced around the league, failing to catch-on with any team for the long-term. Seferian-Jenkins was signed in early April, meaning he did not even last two months with the Patriots.

Around the NFL: Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Item yesterday that Blake Bortles has been showing an early connection with Austin Seferian-Jenkins at Jaguars practices. It makes sense, as he's a better pass catcher than what Jacksonville has put out there at the position recently, and Bortles could use a nice safety valve to throw short passes to, rather than forcing them in to covered receivers further downfield. more »

Seferian-Jenkins ready to star for Jets?
New York Jets tight end AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS was the star of the spring, dropping 25 pounds and playing all over the field during OTA’s and minicamp.
