This is why I stopped applying for G.M. jobs in the NFL.
Jets release a projected starter ,pick up a safety from the Browns who is not slated to start.
Sticking to Connect Four.

Bless's father played semi-pro ball in the Parade Grounds , in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Bless went to Andrew Jackson H.S. in Queens, now called The Campus Magnet School, alma mater of Bob Cousy.

Saleh has stated all summer that steps forward are accompanied by steps backward, and one area that continues to remain very much a work-in-progress is the cornerback position, especially after the coach acknowledged that one of the most experienced corners in the room, third-year man Bless Austin, has been released.

"I'm very appreciative toward Bless. He's a good young man," Saleh said. "With the youth we have at corner and the competition they've all been able to provide and the growth they've been able to have since OTAs and training camp, we're going to give those guys a turn and roll with those guys."

Another reason for the Austin transaction was the makeup of the roster at other positions.

"If you look at the initial roster, it had eight corners. Normally you don't keep eight corners, which meant there were deficiencies elsewhere," Saleh said. "When we were looking at it, those young guys, they have such tremendous value and there's so much growth that they can all experience. They all have the potential to be high-end starters in this league. It all comes back to being a numbers game."

With the departure of Austin, who started 16 games at RCB in 2019 and '20 combined, Saleh was asked who was at the head of the pack for the starting role on the outside opposite second-year LCB Bryce Hall.

"To be determined," he said. "You can talk about all four of 'em."

"CaptMyng, post:

We were hoping (relying) on that strong front DL to disrupt enough to counter our second rate secondary.

I'm only surprised by fact player(s) YOUNGER than him knocked him out - guy can't cover. He's a decent to good tackler, but the problem is at CB, that's not so good when you get a lot of practice doing it to WRs. Didn't hurt either that he's a head case apparently (remember vs PIT in 2019).
