You can now add the New York Jets to the list of NFL teams currently being sued by a former cheerleader.

According to NBC Bay Area, 25-year-old ‘Krystal C.’ states that she was underpaid and is seeking unpaid wages as well.

"Krystal alleges, while she and her “Flight Crew” squad are paid $150 per game and $100 per special event, her salary drops to just $3.77 an hour because of all the additional “off the clock” hours she and the squad are required to work. That total drops to $1.50 an hour counting the mandatory hair, makeup and transportation expenses the cheerleaders must spend, her suit claims."

In addition to the Jets, the Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills have all been sued by former cheerleaders this offseason though the Jets suit appears to be nothing more than monetary claims.

There has currently been no comment from the Jets regarding the matter.

Both the Raiders and Bengals have seemingly continued operations as normal with their cheerleaders while the Bills have suspended operations on the Buffalo Jills until further notice.
