Rosters need to be in by 4 p.m. on Saturday

Joe Douglas has been on the job for more than a year now, but in many ways he’s just beginning his reconstruction of the Jets roster. This isn’t his team yet. And there are surely players on the roster that just don’t fit into his plans.

That makes it possible that there could be a few surprises over the next few days as the Jets cut their roster down to 53 players. They’re hard to predict without the benefit of seeing preseason games, which can often be a tell for which players just don’t fit into a team’s plans. But there have been enough practices and press conferences to at least guess at which “names” could be on the bubble.

Here’s a look at a few of them, and why:

QB David Fales – His history with Adam Gase won’t be enough to earn him the backup job, even temporarily. First, the job is Joe Flacco’s as soon as he’s healthy, though he’s expected to spend at least the first few weeks of the season on injured reserve. The Jets probably aren’t going to cut James Morgan, their fourth-round pick, but he’s also not likely to serve as the only insurance for Sam Darnold. Who will be? Don’t be shocked if it’s Mike White, the former Cowboys fifth-round pick, at least until Flacco is ready to go.

DL Nathan Shepherd – Shepherd was considered a reach when the Jets took him in the third round of the 2018 draft, and he’s never done a lot to prove otherwise. He was OK as a rookie and not much more than that in his second season after he returned from a six-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. The D-line spot is a little more crowded than it used to be, and since Shepherd is about to turn 27 he could easily be pushed aside to give a younger player a shot.

T Chuma Edoga – He was a third-round pick just two years ago, but he wasn’t Douglas’ pick. And since Douglas rebuilt the starting offensive line and didn’t include Edoga who started eight games last season, that’s not a particularly good sign. He could be kept around for depth, and maybe the injury issues for rookie Cam Clarkthis summer will make Edoga necessary. But at this point it seems clear that he’s not in the Jets’ long-term offensive line plans.

CB Nate Hairston – Cornerback remains the weakest spot on the Jets roster, so maybe it’s not smart to dump a player who started six games for them last year. But if Pierre Desir is healthy, it looks like he, Bless Austin and Brian Poole are the top three corners and Quincy Wilsonand Arthur Maulet are the next two. Hairston would be the sixth and they’ll probably keep six, but don’t count out Douglas acquiring another corner somewhere, either via the waiver wire or in a trade. So if Hairston is still on the final 53 on Saturday, his stay there could be short-lived.

TE Daniel Brown – He may be a former Raven, which is relevant to Douglas, and he’s an excellent blocker too. But with Chris Herndon's return to health, the tight end room is crowded. Herndon and Ryan Griffin are locks to make the team, and it sure looks like Gase is carving out a limited role for Trevon Wesco. Brown has been a valuable special teamer, and that may be enough. But he seems like the kind of insurance policy the Jets would want to stash on the expanded practice squad, which could be where he ends up.

Would you like to place a wager that he ends up starting this year? How about a wager that he makes the team?

No, because he may stick as a backup after cuts, and if he IS starting at some point, the season is already wasted and we all lose anyway.

DudE SUUUUUCKS.

Weird hill to die on.

FTR, I think Edoga and Shepherd are locks to make the team. The author is placing too much weight on Douglas excising all of Maccagnan’s awfulness in one offseason.

You're using the term "author" pretty loosely.  This reads like one of Warfishs' posts while he's taking a dump.

Not a hill to die on which is an imbecilic phrase anyway. We're talking about a young guy that is about to be going into his second season, who was a third round pick and was forced into starting at LT as a rookie. When he took over for our four year vet in Shell it was because he earned it. Crazy how when Beachum went down our coaching staff went to Edoga at LT instead of a seasoned vet like Shell. 

Now maybe you can tell me how many third round picks start at OT in this league and succeed from day one. I have time.

Yes, he was given a try over a guy we sh*tcanned. Solid endorsement. 

He wasn't given a try, he earned the starting job whether you agree or not. Do you really think the coaching staff would give someone a TRY if it made our already sh*tty line worse?

By calling the old "Hill to Die on" phrase imbecilic? I though you had some tougher skin than that.

Now maybe you can respond to my post and refute what I said. I'll wait.

I stated when the draft happened that I though Edoga was crap. Watching him play hasn't changed my mind. 

End of line. 

 

As for the toughness of my skin, it really depends on location.

Yet you have some sick fascination where you have to tag my name everytime Edogas name comes up because I liked the player coming out of college. 

End of line you still can't refute one word I said.

He also "drafted" one of the biggest busts in league history in one Vernon Gholston.


The only legit attempt to acquire a pass rusher in a 14 year period for this franchise. Gholston wasn’t nearly as bad of a pick as it gets labeled, particularly when given the lack of talent in the 1st round that year.
