Jets cut Richardson, waive Clowney, CWashington
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Veteran fullback Tony Richardson has been released by the New
York Jets, part of a series of roster moves a day after the team got down to
the mandatory 53-player limit.
The Jets also waived wide receiver David Clowney and running back Chauncey
Washington on Sunday, and claimed offensive tackle Patrick Brown (Minnesota),
defensive tackle Marcus Dixon (Dallas) and wide receiver Patrick Turner (Miami)
off waivers.
The move to get rid of the 38-year-old Richardson was particularly surprising
because coach Rex Ryan repeatedly said the team would go with two fullbacks.
The job now goes to fifth-round pick John Conner.
There is still a chance Richardson could return after Week 1, when his salary
wouldn't be guaranteed for the entire season.
