New York Jets Announce Cuts

by John B on Sep 3, 2011 6:59 PM EDT

The Jets announced some cuts via the team's Twitter page. Some of these we have already gone over.

#EA Jets Waived: LB Jones, G Kroul, G Landolt, S Lador, CB Lankster, LB LaRocque, T McCaskill, WR McKnight, S Morgan, CB Posey, LB Satele...

I thought Matt Kroul made a lot of good strides considering he was adjusting to a new side of the ball for just weeks. I would not at all be surprised if he ended up on the practice squad. Nothing else really jumps off the page at me aside from Ellis Lankster, who looked very good in preseason.

Now the real mayhem begins, which is Mike Tannenbaum's time to shine. Think of it as a smaller scale version of that insane first week of free agency we had this year. There are guys cut somewhere who might be able to help the Jets. The roster will likely change in the coming days.

We don't need a starting FB, but I always thought polite was one of the best FBs in the league...

He certainly killed us at times, and was great receiver out of the back field.

Still fuzzy about why Jets sent Lowery packing.

I hate moving house and not having internet access. Every time I do log in, the world’s ended (okay, I’m overstating Lowery’s impact a little).

Essentially a 3 man rotation at safety then, in which one of the guys is tiny and coming off a broken leg. Depth is a bit of a concern.Then again, maybe next time I check in Mike T has secured a viable backup free safety.

Or, you know, Ed Reed would be nice too. Plus he knows Rex's system, plug and play

More Cuts

The New York Jets have sent out via their Twitter account that they have claimed wide receiver Mardy Gilyard off waivers from the St. Louis Rams, along with three other players.

In addition to Gilyard, the Jets claimed quarterback Kevin O’Connell off waivers from the Miami Dolphins, center Colin Baxter from San Diego and defensive back Andrew. Sendejo from the Dallas Cowboys.

The Jets placed rookie QB Greg McElroy on injured reserve, waived linebacker Aaron Maybin as well as nose tackle Martin Tevaseu and cornerback Isaiah Trufant.
