Cumberland left Friday's preseason game with an apparently serious left leg injury, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Michael Gehlken reports.
EDGE Analysis
He came up lame while trying to chase down a pass in the end zone, and came up favoring his left leg. Cumberland was then carted into the locker room for further evaluation with a towel hanging over his head. Even a healthy Cumberland would have struggled to be a viable fantasy option in most formats this season, as he was trailing Antonio Gates, among others, on the depth chart.

The Chargers and Cumberland agreed to a one-year contract Monday, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cumberland joins a tight-end group composed entirely of undrafted free agents, though the leader of the corps is among the top receiving TE in NFL history (Antonio Gates). As the second-most experienced body, Cumberland is coming off a campaign in which he recorded five catches (on 13 targets) for 77 yards with the Jets. It's difficult to project a significant role for the soon-to-be 29-year-old in 2016.

The Jets have released Cumberland, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, the move saves the Jets $1.9 million against their 2016 salary cap, though with Cumberland coming off a five-catch effort in 2015, he's off the fantasy radar unless he resurfaces in an ideal situation.

Cumberland was active, but didn't see a pass target Sunday against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Cumberland ended the season with five receptions for 77 yards and only saw a single pass target over his last seven games. Next year, he'll enter the last year of a three-year contract with the Jets. In the current Jets offensive scheme, it's unlikely that he'll ever be featured in the offense.

Cumberland played but was not targeted Thursday against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing three targets in three straight games, Cumberland was shut out of the box score. It appears the Jets prefer to throw the overwhelming majority of their passes to their wide receivers.

Cumberland caught one of three pass targets for 44 yards Sunday against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Cumberland took advantage of a busted coverage as nobody covered him on his long gain. He's only averaging one reception per contest over his last five games. In addition, his 44 receiving yards surpassed the 33 yards he had accumulated the entire season through Week 8.

Cumberland caught one pass for 16 yards Sunday against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Cumberland made his catch early in the game, but Ryan Fitzpatrick sent the overwhelming majority of his pass targets to his wide receivers, keeping his tight end quiet. Cumberland did see three targets, and this was the second time in five games in which he's had passes thrown his way.
