Lith Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 First two cuts to be reported (I will keep this post updated as additional cuts are announced over next day. CB Lamar Jackson WR Lawrence Cager DB Bennett Jackson (corresponding move to Shaq Lawson trade) S JT Hassell DL Aaron Adeoye OL Corey Levin DL Jeremiah Valoaga OL Jimmy Murray QB Josh Johnson DE Hamilcar Rashed OG David Moore First cuts announced. Not surprised by either. Cager was a numbers game at WR and he doesn't play STs. jackson I asssumed was a bubble player. Maybe practice squad.

Popular Post nycdan Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was hoping Cager would develop and stick, but it was purely irrational on my part and I can't even explain why other than I always favor the bigger guys at any position. Maybe he'll be back to PS but wish him luck in any case. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Interesting. I'm not surprised at either, but there were plenty of guys I thought would go before them. Maybe one thing to note, I think they were probably the two slowest guys in their position groups. These guys don't seem interested in big and slow. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well have him practice with the team today and tomorrow, and release him prior to the 4PM Tues deadline. I would think guys released today are those that are not in future plans. But maybe I am reading too much into the timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel like we usually don't cut the guys we're bringing back to the PS so early.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Makes sense that these guys are being cut, since they are not at practice, but the only guy reporting it so far is Will Parkinson, a podcast host at TOJ. Nothing is confirmed yet. I may have jumped the gun on the thread, but we will see what plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Fans can argue that these two cuts may not have needed to be the FIRST two on the roster. But when you look at these players at their positions, they are at the very bottom of the barrel. I'm not at all surprised by the cuts if the Jets were looking to trim down CB and WR. We'll see other positions start to get trimmed down soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that matters for guys who have to clear waivers -- its not like a free agent looking for the right opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I'm surprised about Lamar Jackson. I'm also surprised they didn't try to convert him to a Safety or Hybrid S/CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that matters for guys who have to clear waivers -- its not like a free agent looking for the right opportunity. In the past it would also give them a head start on getting up to speed with a new team. That won't matter here with the deadline tomorrow, but when the cuts were right before week 1, it was nice to give guys a week to settle in. I like this timing. There are a million things it could be for them not being out there. I'd hope we can work some late round trade offers, but I am not sure these guys would rate.

Agree about converting him to safety or a hybrid - thought his size and ball skills might translate well and straight line speed might be less of an issue. Curious now if they try to sneak him through to the PS. Corner group is going to be interesting, lots of guys competing for spots there. May boil down to who they feel is the best bet to sneak through waivers and stash on the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've basically just got Becton (currently injured), Moses and Fant at the position. Edoga and McDermott are injured and Hermanns is a rookie UDFA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sec101row23 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I’m sure the team wouldn’t want a player, that they know they are cutting, get hurt in a practice and then not be able to have a chance to get picked up by another team. That wouldn’t be fair to the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with that is...given our situation at OT, what I would *want* for Fant so far exceeds what I think any team would rationally be willing to offer, I don't think a trade is really possible. I suppose if a team with playoff hopes was looking at a situation where they had nothing at one tackle position, they might be desperate enough to do something like that. What would it take? IMO, given the risk to Wilson's development, it would either have to be a starting Edge rusher or CB (which on our team doesn't mean that much) or a 1st round pick, along with a replacement OT. I can't see either of those happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
