Jets shockingly cut potential starting wide receiver in roster stunner
Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson, Garrett Wilson | Sarah Stier/GettyImages The New York Jets needed to make some changes to their 53-man roster following a trio of waiver claims on Wednesday, and one of the moves made is certain to raise some eyebrows.
