Jets Waive Simi Toeaina

A rookie free agent will not be joining the Jets in camp according to Manish Mehta.

It's not exactly earth-shattering news, but the Jets made a transaction today by waiving defensive tackle Simi Toeaina. He played 21 games in four seasons at the University of Oregon before the Jets invited the undrafted rookie free agent to minicamp.

Training camp is right around the corner. Rookies report July 29 and will work out at the team's Florham Park, NJ, training facility before heading up to Cortland. Veterans report Aug. 1 for Rex Ryan's second training camp.

It appears this was a roster clearing move for a certain 39-year-old left-handed quarterback, who can't be signed until July 22.

 

Toeaina seems like camp fodder so that's not really big news.

It seemed like the roster spot for Brunell was going to come from the team cutting ties with Kellen Clemens. You would think the team has enough evidence to know whether Kellen is their guy for the third quarterback spot, but Mehta knows more than I do so I'll take his word for it.

Not a big Brunell fan

 I would hope that they would use that open roster spot for something else. Since we seem to have a San Diego connection, I would look at Ian Scott, Chargers cut last week. 6-3 315 NT/DE, 8 year journeyman,like a little more depth at NT and the DL

Now you Simi, now you don't.

I just don’t buy that they’re doing this simply for Brunell’s sake, when they can’t sign him for a couple of weeks yet. To me, this is just Rex saying to the young guy that we don’t need him and hopefully he can get on with another team ahead of training camp.

The Brunell thing is just speculation. Are we that desperate to sign him that we’re showing him we have room so don’t sign with another team yet? If they really do have an unwritten agreement, then it should be understood that someone will get cut when it’s time to get him on board.

and the home of the... JETS!!!

Why mention both QBs together?

It seems that every time Clemens & Brunell are mentioned, it’s one or the other. Newsflash-NEITHER. You mean that there are no other veteran QBs out there who can fill in and possibly mentor Sanchez? If they’re not available today, they will be soon. Both are nice guys, but we all saw Clemens in action and anyone who saw Broonie throw either for the Skins or the Saints gotta know there’s still heart but no arm or mobility. Let’s get past these two and set our sights higher.

I would rather have Clemens than Brunell.
