The New York Jets trimmed their roster down to 53 players on Tuesday, but as always, the “final” 53 is anything but final. NFL rosters are constantly in flux this week, and the group announced after cutdown day almost never matches the roster that actually takes the field in Week 1.
That’s especially true for the Jets this year. With new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey putting their stamp on the roster for the first time, the expectation is that the team will be active on the waiver wire.
The Jets are set to have the seventh spot in the waiver claim order, putting the team in prime position to scoop up quality talent that didn’t survive cutdown day elsewhere.
