Jets miss out on Khalil Mack, cut outside 'backers ... need pass rush

The New York Jets trimmed 36 players from their roster on Friday and Saturday, cutting to the NFL-mandated 53. Here’s a closer look at the final cuts:

Most significant move: On a day in which they failed to land star pass-rusher Khalil Mack, the Jets cut two former draft picks who play Mack's position -- outside linebackers Lorenzo Mauldin (third round, 2015) and Dylan Donahue (fifth, 2017). This confirms what we've known all along: They have a serious talent deficiency on the edge.
