Jets Have to Cut 35 Players - Here's my analysis

It’s a shame, because I really don’t think Cook and his $7M salary brings a lot more to the table than Knight does at this stage of their careers. 

A 4x 1,000 yard rusher, 4x Pro Bowler with a 4.7 career YPA vs. an UDFA Practice squad fringe guy whose never had more than 300 yards rushing and has a 3.5 YPA.......

So reading this my takeaway is you'd have kept Knight, and not signed Cook, since you see them as productively equal in 2023.

Interesting take.

Echols is suspended for the 1st game.

Izzy Abanikanda and Lawson probably end up on PUP

Hall makes it until Echos comes back

 

I don’t think Hall takes Echols spot, even if it’s for one week. I think a guy like Dean or Moreland has more value. Hall has looked absolutely lost once again this preseason.

With the retirement of Davis and the release of Dane Cruikshank, the Jets have 88 players on the roster.  Meaning they have to cut 35 players to get down to 53.

By my count, there are 18 easy cuts (Bold Red) - so that gets us down to 70.  And there are 7 pretty straight forward, reasonable cuts (Bold Orange) - which gets us down to 63. And 1 player who will likely go on PUP (Bold Blue) - which gets us to 62. Of the final 9, 7 are not that difficult (Bold Green)/

THE FINAL 2 CUTS WILL BE:

  • Cut 1 from the group of: OT Billy Turner, OT Carter Warren, DT Solomon Thomas, LB Chazz Surratt, or S Trey Dean - I'll say Thomas gets the axe and Jets keep 10 O linemen
  • Cut either CB Bryce Hall or CB Craig James - I'll say Hall sticks around
