The final 53-man roster (for now)

September, 3, 2011

6:34 PM

By Rich Cimini

The Jets' 53-man roster, as of Saturday at 6 p.m.

QB (3) -- Mark Sanchez, Mark Brunell, Greg McElroy (injured). Comment: Need a No. 3 until McElroy returns.

RB (5) -- Shonn Greene, John Conner, LaDainian Tomlinson, Joe McKnight, Bilal Powell. Comment: All set.

WR (5) -- Santonio Holmes, Plaxico Burress, Derrick Mason, Jeremy Kerley, Logan Payne (injured). Comment: You'd be hard-pressed to find a player who raised his stock over the past year more than Payne, who sticks despite a serious wrist injury.

TE (3) -- Dustin Keller, Matthew Mulligan, Jeff Cumberland. Comment: All set. I think.

OL (8) -- D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Matt Slauson, Nick Mangold, Brandon Moore, Wayne Hunter, Vladimir Ducasse, G Caleb Schlauderaff (acquired from Packers), Rob Turner (injured). Comment: Schlauderaff in a trade for a conditional pick.

DL (7) -- Mike DeVito, Sione Pouha, Mo Wilkerson, Marcus Dixon, Ropati Pitoitua, Martin Tevaseu, Kenrick Ellis. Comment: Team has no interest in veteran DE Igor Olshansky, cut by Cowboys, according to a source.

LB (10) -- David Harris, Bart Scott, Calvin Pace, Bryan Thomas, Jamaal Westerman, Josh Mauga, Nick Bellore, Garrett McIntyre, Matt Berning, Aaron Maybin. Comment: Lots of Cinderella stories, but depth still a question mark.

DB (9) -- Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, Eric Smith, Jim Leonhard, Kyle Wilson, Donald Strickland, Brodney Pool, Marquice Cole, Emanuel Cook.Comment: Also a chance for some bottom-of-the-depth chart movement. Dwight Lowery traded to the Jaguars.

SP (3) -- Nick Folk, T.J. Conley, Tanner Purdum. Comment: Conley had a good preseason, but is he better than Matt Dodge, cut by the Giants

Thought Berning was a late cut?

Jets cut Aaron Maybin and add Kevin O'Connell

BY Manish Mehta

Aaron Maybin’s attempt to revive his career with the Jets came to an abrupt end Sunday when Gang Green cut the former first-round pick. Maybin, who had shown flashes as an edge pass rusher during his brief stay with the Jets, made the initial 53-man roster Saturday night. However, he became expendable after the team claimed four players off waivers, including quarterback Kevin O’Connell.

Maybin, who signed a one-year deal with the Jets after getting cut by the Bills last month, recorded 1 ½ sacks in the preseason finale against the Eagles last week.

“Certainly, he did have some moments in that Philly game,” Rex Ryan said on Saturday night. “Certainly he played well. He was one of those guys that we talked about… I thought his play rushing the passer, that’s what landed him on the roster.”

Gang Green tweaked their roster by addressing a couple areas of need on Sunday. O’Connell, who was waived by the Dolphins, returned to the Jets and will be the No. 3 quarterback after the team placed rookie Greg McElroy (thumb surgery) on season-ending injured reserve on Sunday. Ryan & Co. added more depth along the offensive line with center Colin Baxter, an undrafted rookie let go by the Chargers. The team traded for Packers’ rookie guard Caleb Schlauderaff on Saturday.

The Jets also added safety Andrew Sendejo, who was waived by the Cowboys after playing in the UFL, and wide receiver Mardy Gilyard, who played for the Rams last season. The Jets only had four healthy receivers on the roster before adding Gilyard.

Seven players were signed to the practice squad: TE Josh Baker, LB Matthias Berning, G Trevor Canfield, DT Jarron Gilbert, G Matt Kroul, CB Julian Posey and WR Patrick Turner.

the only tiny minor thing that bugs me is we don't have a back up OT who won't get sanchez killed. I guess we'll have to pray every week for what, 8 weeks until turner is healthy. if it comes down to it, they'll have to go with street FA
