[TebowCan'tThrow]

I don't think Zac Stacy gets cut. They need a 3rd RB and Ridley is not ready and Richardson has a concussion.

 

[Golden Rott]

I don't think Zac Stacy gets cut. They need a 3rd RB and Ridley is not ready and Richardson has a concussion.

I agree. I think he has a pretty good chance of making the 53, especially with Ridley still sidelined.

 

[ucrenegade]

i think our qb's and rb's are all safe

 

[ucrenegade]

heaps i see going to the ps squad

 

[Costigan77]

heaps i see going to the ps squad

I have a feeling Kerley is on that cut list too, but they are going to wait for final cuts. Jets want him limited on what number he chooses when BB signs him

 

[Costigan77]

i think our qb's and rb's are all safe

I think Heaps is gone. They are going to want Petty to get most of the snaps these last two weeks

 

[Golden Rott]

I have a feeling Kerley is on that cut list too, but they are going to wait for final cuts. Jets want him limited on what number he chooses when BB signs him

I can't see them cutting Kerley. We don't have a whole lot of experienced guys behind him, and the new contract he got last year would mean a $3.6 million cap hit this season if cut. We don't have enough cap room to make a move like that.

I can't see them cutting Kerley. We don't have a whole lot of experienced guys behind him, and the new contract he got last year would mean a $3.6 million cap hit this season if cut. We don't have enough cap room to make a move like that.

Believe me, I own a Kerley jersey, love the guy. Seems like Bowles is not high on him though. Seems like a perfect slot receiver for Gailey, but not doing much yet. We will see. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised

I don't think Kerley gets cut either. I just think he was mailing it in this offseason and now that Bowles put him on notice he started to step up. When Bowles told the media that Kerley was in a battle for the third wr slot, he took that as a surprise. Kerley has since stepped it up in practice. We'll see but i don't see any benefit in cutting him.

 

[flgreen]

I have a feeling Kerley is on that cut list too, but they are going to wait for final cuts. Jets want him limited on what number he chooses when BB signs him

I'll be stunned if Kerley is cut. Your right if he is cut loose he'll be a motivated WR on the Pats. 1,000 yards

 

[AFA2017]

Believe me, I own a Kerley jersey, love the guy. Seems like Bowles is not high on him though. Seems like a perfect slot receiver for Gailey, but not doing much yet. We will see. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised

I believe Kerley will be traded. Just a gut feeling. Maybe to Carolina.

For a draft pick? He can't possibly net us anything better than a four. I hope we just keep him.

Cut day is on the horizon, but Jets roster is pretty much set

Cut day is on the horizon, but Jets roster is pretty much set
Jets head coach Todd Bowles said he has "a pretty good idea" of what his final roster will look like.


The Jets will make their initial roster cuts after Saturday’s game against the Giants, trimming it from 90 players to 75 by Tuesday. Then, they will go to 53 by next Saturday at 4 p.m.

Coach Todd Bowles said the roster is mostly set in his mind, but there are still a few spots up for grabs.
“I have a pretty good idea of what we have with the exception of about three or four guys,” Bowles said. “I have a good idea about everybody else. I understand what we can be, and I know what kind of work we have ahead of us, but I have a good idea of what we have.”

Bowles said it won’t be easy to tell players goodbye this week.

“I mean it’s tough, it’s a tough business to try to tell someone they can’t play anymore,” Bowles said. “We’ve got a lot of good competition, so the cuts aren’t going to be easy. You just have to be honest with yourself. We have guidelines at certain positions and what we are looking for.

“You either make those plays or you don’t make those plays, [make those] blocks or you don’t make those blocks. It comes down to that. It’s never anything personal.You hate to tell someone they can’t play anymore, but that’s the reality of the business.”
When the Jets do finalize their roster, Bowles believes it will be a good one.

“I see we have potential to have a good team, but we have to jell and the chemistry has to come together,” he said. “It’s OK to have pieces, and I understand what those pieces are, but I know where we need to get to. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we do have the talent to get there.”

One of the most interesting battles for a roster spot is at wide receiver. It appears five spots are set: Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Devin Smith, Jeremy Kerley and Quincy Enunwa. But the sixth spot is up for grabs and maybe the Jets even keep a seventh.

The competition is between Walter Powell, Chris Owusu, Shaq Evans and T.J. Graham. Powell has an advantage because he has been the team’s primary kick returner in training camp. Owusu (concussion), Evans (back sprain) and Graham (hamstring) all have missed time in camp because of injury, but all should play Saturday night against the Giants.
