Spoot-Face Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-claim-ol-conor-mcdermott-waive-dl-bronson-kaufusi Friday, Oct 04, 2019 05:10 PM Jets Claim OL Conor McDermott, Waive DL Bronson Kaufusi Eric Allen Senior Reporter Al Tielemans/Associated Press The Jets have claimed OL Conor McDermott and waived veteran defensive lineman Bronson Kaufusi. McDermott appeared in eight games for Buffalo in 2017-19 and was inactive in each of the Bills’ first four games this season. The 6’8”, 305-pounder, a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2017 Draft, played collegiately at UCLA and started his last two years for the Bruins at left tackle. After being a final cut of the Pats, he was claimed by the Bills on waivers. In three games this season, the 6’6”, 275-pound Kaufusi had three tackles and a half of a sack. Kaufusi suited up in six games for the Green & White the past two seasons and spend some time on the team’s practice squad in 2018. Originally a third-round pick of the Ravens in 2017, the 28-year-old Kaufusi has appeared in eight career contests. Haven't seen this mentioned yet here. Was surprising to see because he seemed to show the most promise out of our EDGE guys on the line in pre-season, and his whopping 0.5 sacks leads all Jets linemen right now. But, I didn't realize the guy was already 28, though. Not exactly a "project" player. Perhaps it's only temporary roster shuffling due to all the injuries, and we'll see him back on either the roster or PS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpain Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Little surprised he was let go. Liked him. He had a good summer and seemed like th exact kinda player you wanted for depth. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought Kaufusi made a lot more plays than Shepperd right? Do we still even have Nate Shepp on our roster - I haven't checked lately and sure don't see him making any tackles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 lol - I love how all the young promising players we had in camp (and even in the game) are complete after thoughts as we continue to build the back end of our roster with veteran fodder.

Which goes to show why camp doesn't matter nearly as much as the actual games. Bronson got a decent amount of snaps in games this season and was invisible. Phillips on the other hand stepped up and looked better in actual games. I think he pretty much make Bonson expendable. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 McDermott is more than likely better than the slugs we are lining up on the OL don't know if thats saying much I have never taken notice to him playing before. DuCasse is still in the NFL right and Erik Flowers is playing better for Washington than he did for the Giants, give the kid a chance before bashing him.

They just made two changes on the OL and they wanted another RT prospect in the event Edoga does well enough to swing over to OLT at some point this year. Kaufusi is 28 years old and athletically limited. I don’t get the tears for him. He’s not at good, or young, or as athletic as Basham, nor is he as versatile as Luvu, who can play ILB, OLB, and on every special teams unit. You’ve also got Brandon Copeland coming back, so Kaufusi was never, ever getting on the field anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaufusi would be the odd man out in that scenario. But you'd be dismissing away Luvu or Bashman if they were interchanged with Kaufusi in a heartbeat as you continue your creepy mission to defend any slight criticism of Gase/Douglas.

I liked Kaufusi because he seems nice, but I liked the other two more. If they wanted to cut Copeland to keep Kaufusi, I wouldn’t have been heartbroken in that scenario either, but only because of that self-righteous financial advice that Copeland offered (jUsT sAvE 8o% oF uR gRoSs InCoMe!) which is all the more amusing now considering he had to cheat the system to get paid in the first place.

TheClashFan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Wow, so now Kafusi is another "the girl they let get away?" Dude was 28 and at a position where the Jets are deep in JAGS, though not good. Keep the younger ones. McDermott doesn't look like much, but he's a bit younger and is an OT, so he's worth taking a flyer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Kaufusi showed some things in preseason that certainly earned him his roster spot at the time, but since then has done absolutely nothing when out there on the field amongst the starters. While there's also plenty of other names I'm sure we all could've come up with as potential options to cut instead, I'm not particularly worried about it either.
