JetNation Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 By Glenn Naughton With safety Calvin Pryor being limited in practice as he works his way back from the league’s concussion protocol, the Jets have added some depth by promoting rookie undrafted free agent Doug Middleton who had a solid pre-season with Gang Green. We have signed S Doug Middleton to the active roster and signed FB Chris Swain to the practice squad.

bealeb319 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Really excited to see this middleton kid play. He had a good offseason and im not sure why he didn't make our final roster but i don't see how he could make our secondary any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get his chance, let's hope he has the goods. We need to find a couple more sleepers. Anderson is gonna be a real deep threat with a big armed QB. I can't believe we still have fans critical of his drops. My god, can any of our young players develop over some time? Anderson with another offseason, getting in the weight room, and Fitz & his popgun arm gone is a nice piece to our future. He could be our TY Hilton.

Was also really surprised we let Bailey go he did pretty well with us last season.Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say guys like Middleton and Wilds should get AT LEAST one game where they get the majority of the reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Not surprised. He had no speed. Ran like he was in quicksand. Your right though, played way smarter than the guys we have now at least he would be in "position" to make a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
