The New York Jets' preseason has come to an end. The next time the Jets take the field will be for the team's regular-season opener against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in two weeks' time.
But before then, the Jets have some business to attend to. NFL teams are in the process of trimming 90-man rosters down to 53, with a league-wide deadline set for Tuesday, August 26, at 4 p.m. ET.
That means over 1,100 professional football players will be released from their contracts in the coming days. For some, it will be a minor bump in the road before latching on with a practice squad or another team.
