[gmf1369]

The Jets have waived defensive lineman Claude Pelon.

Pelon had been with the Green & White since he signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern California following the 2016 NFL Draft. The 6'4", 300-pounder had two stints on the practice squad last season and signed a reserve future contract on Jan. 2 of this year.

Pelon participated in 126 defensive snaps and had a half-sack this preseason. In the season opener at Buffalo, the first-year player was in for 17 defensive plays and had two tackles.

I have no problem with this move it it means they are making room to add a competent offensive lineman.

Not necessarily,

This move may in fact be to replace the Hot dog stand guy in the Verizon section at Metlife for the opener.

 

[NewMFS62]

D'oh! You're right. I forgot how important that hot dog guy is to the team's success.

Why cut him, he had as many tackles last week as Mohammed Wilkerson.

Make room for Lawrence Thomas?
