McBride was recently released by the Bears after he got into an argument with a teammate. He was a seventh round pick for the Titans in 2015 but barely played in his first two years, with just two receptions, although he did have one touchdown.
This season, having joined the Bears, McBride had eight receptions and the first three starts of his career.
He was a good return man in college but only has 10 kickoff returns for 190 yards (all in his rookie year) in regular season action. He has averaged 24.2 yards per kickoff return, but only 3.5 yards per punt return in preseason action.
Pelon was on the opening day roster for the Jets after a solid preseason, but struggled and was subsequently replaced.
