New York Jets Cuts Thus Far
The Jets have been busy today as the deadline approaches to trim the roster to 53 players. The following players have been cut:
Drew Willy
Peter Clifford
Joey Laroque
Willy figures to be a lock for the practice squad so the Jets have an extra quarterback in reserve who is familiar with the system.
The only one that really surprises me from this group is DePalma because he was a special teams contributor and reportedly got Mike Westhoff's attention. That is the way for a guy at the back of the roster to make a spot for himself since it is their only real chance to contribute.
Satele showed flashes, but his problem is a lot of guys at his position showed more.
McKnight was something of a sentimental favorite. I think he was worth a seventh round flier based on his production in college. He seems like one of those guys who plays better than his measurables would indicate. He just did not show much aside from that touchdown last night. The team saw enough in him to use a Draft pick so I would imagine he is a strong practice squad contender.

Didn't the Jets sign McKnight to a 4-year contract?
Does that mean he’ll almost definitely be on the PS?
at the 7th round its a cheap contract.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!
Now lets get a G-D snack!!!

I'm only disappointed to see McKnight cut
I liked Eddie Jones a lot, but I just didn’t think we had the space.
I think McKnight might have been worth keeping, but I guess the FO either knew something I didn’t or just viewed him as expendable.

He made one catch/TD the entire preseason, chances are he's a work in progress for the PS.

for what its worth from an idiot he's got a strong shot at doing something.
Maybe he squeaks in behind Cole if there is room at CB. Definitely a PS player if not.

I like Lankster
I can see the Jets going 6 CB’s and 4 Safeties to accomodate Lankster (safety support , Wilson on PS)…. I wouldn’t mind Tanny soing a low level deal to send …say Strickland to CB starved team
I seriously doubt anyone is going to give anything for Don
we just scooped him up for peanuts. Nobody else had signed him yet for a reason.
