Jets sign 5th-round pick Blake Cashman

With rookie minicamp kicking off this week, the Jets have started getting this year’s draft picks under contract. Cashman officially joined the ranks Friday:

A former walk-on who became the cornerstone of the Minnesota defense, Cashman followed up an impressive career for the Golden Gophers with one of this year’s best performances of any linebacker at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine.

Cashman is excited to get started with the Jets, a team he feels is a great fit for his skill set:

Yeah, they were a team that had reached out to me a few times between the combine and the draft.
