Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Jets have claimed tight end Zach Sudfeld. After coming into the year with some expecting him to be a suitable replacement for Gronkowski/Hernandez, the Patriots released undrafted rookie—who had zero receptions this season—on Thursday.

With Jeff Cumberland and Kellen Winslow as their starters, it has yet to be seen how big a role the 6'7 tight end will have on the Jets offense.

UPDATE:

As a corresponding move, the Jets have released linebacker Scott Solomon.
