FB Jason Davis couldn't survive the last round of cuts.. Best of luck to him.
After yesterdays final preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Jets are finalizing the roster by cutting it down to 53 men. So far the players who have been cut are: (via Manish Mehta)
Fullback Jason Davis is the first to get the ax this morning, according to a source. Not a big surprise after Rex Ryan said he’d keep veteran Tony Richardson and rookie John Conner. Davis, who was solid in the offseason, will surely land on his feet on another team.
Wide Receiver Larry Taylor was also cut, according to a source. Taylor, of course, was battling David Clowney for the final WR spot. Although I haven’t received official word yet, it appears now that Clowney will make the roster. The coaches believe he can be a solid gunner on special teams with his size and speed. Again, it’s not official yet. But all signs point in that direction right now.
Rex Ryan said last night that rookie LB Josh Mauga & S Don Warren weren’t going to make the roster. Both had been plagued by concussions in camp and the preseason.
LB Brashton Satele, who was injured for much of camp and preseason, was cut, per a source.
A few more predictable cuts, per sources: LB Tim Knicky, C Robby Felix and safety Emanuel Cook, who had an INT last night, and recently signed safety Keith Fitzhugh also got the ax.
Source tells me that DTs Martin Tevaseu and DT Ty Steinkuhler are goners too.
LB Boris Lee and DE Jason Lamb were just informed that they’ve been waived.
OL Chet Teofilo (who?!) has been confirmed as a cut as well.
Just confirmed that LB Ricky Foley, a former CFL standout that was claimed off waivers from Seattle this week, was let go.
That makes 15 cuts thus far. Jets need to make six more to get down the appropriate number. They will have 53 players plus Holmes.
