The New York Jets, along with every other NFL team, trimmed their rosters down to 53 players on Tuesday. But roster cutdown day is really just the beginning. The next couple of days are just as important as the initial deadline.
Over the next 24-48 hours, teams will have the chance to reshape their depth charts through the waiver wire and by filling out their practice squads. The Jets are expected to be active on the waiver wire this year.
Waiver claims must be submitted by noon ET on Wednesday, and with the Jets sitting seventh in the order, they’re in a strong position to scoop up talent that shakes free.
