Between Branch Gaffney Hightower Ware and Koppen... Cut Schilens. Guaranteed contract? That's what salary cap space that would likely have otherwise gone unused is for.
Hightower/Ware > Ganaway Branch/Gaffney > Schilens Koppen > Schauderaff Mughelli/Cartwright > Conner Moore/D. Gronkowski/Cooley > Epps
I completely agree except I'd rather have Ganaway than Hightower unless his health issues are better than expected. The Skins dumped him for Steve Slaton (essentially) and he only had 5 preseason carries (for 28 yards albeit). I prefer health to upside, personally.
@CBSSportsNFLNYJ: Hearing from a source that the #Jets have cut their 6th round pick Terrance Ganaway
rumors are that Saints UDFA RB Travaris Cadet made their roster. That could mean Chris Ivory is about to be cut. That would be a solid add as well.
Jake Steinberg @Steiny31 MncKnight suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason finale. He's iffy for Week 1. Cutting Ganaway makes me think a RB is coming in.
Two guys intrigue me from the cuts. Anthony Davis: (49ers -> Chargers) Wasn't he drafted in 1st round by the Niners a few years back? How did he fall this much? Matt Reynolds: (Panthers) He looks like a high character guy that can grow into backup role well. Thoughts?
Everyone is reporting that Damon Harrison wasn't cut and made the 53. Hayden Smith is going to PS according to manish tweet.
Kristian Dyer @KristianRDyer Jets officially cut Hayden Smith, Paul Cornick, Donnie Fletcher, Royce Pollard, Ricky Sapp, Jordan White, Robert Griffin, Terrance Ganaway. Surprised White got cut. 3 draft picks cut. Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas Jets kept T Dennis Landolt (subluxed knee) on 53-man roster. #nyj
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/je...layers-to-get-down-to-mandatory-53-man-roster "The Jets waived 22 players on Friday to get down to the mandatory 53-man roster: WR Joseph Collins, LB Marcus Dowtin, T Robert Griffin, G, Frederick Koloto, C Matt Kroul, P Spencer Lanning, DB LeQuan Lewis, TE Tarren Lloyd, S D'Anton Lynn, DB Julian Posey, DE Jay Richardson, WR Eron Riley, LB Brett Roy, QB Matt Simms, NT Martin Tevaseu, RB Terrance Ganaway, TE Hayden Smith, T Paul Cornick, DB Donnie Fletcher, WR Royce Pollard, LB Ricky Sapp, WR Jordan White. The Jets waived three draft picks (Ganaway, Griffin and White). Gang Green hopes that Smith, the former Australian rugby star, will continue his development on the practice squad, according to a source. Pollard, Dowtin and Sapp are likely to return to the practice squad if they clear waivers, per sources. The team chose to keep injured tackle Dennis Landolt (knee) on the 53-man roster."
Liked White & thought he showed good potential for a rookie. After Kerley, nothing really stood out so why not go with the youth and see what you can get after grooming him? Looks like Chanz is officially on the team now. Hopefully, Chaz can be healthy enough to play 8+ games this season.
