It’s safe to say that Bennett Jackson isn’t having the happiest of birthdays.

Jackson turned 27 on Monday and was working had in his third week as a member of the Jets, his hometown team. The Jets wished Jackson a happy birthday on Twitter in the morning, but that post has since been deleted, as the team released Jackson in the afternoon.

The social media admins might have been hoping the deletion would go unnoticed for a low-profile player like Jackson, but the internet sees and remembers all. Screenshots soon popped up of the Jets’ ill-fated well-wishes that had been posted earlier.

Jackson was hoping to play his first ever NFL regular season game for the Jets, but that hope has now been cruelly dashed on his birthday of all days. The cornerback is a local guy who grew up in Hazlat, New Jersey.
