New York Jets Release 2024 53-Man Roster, Reaction and Analysis!

what is going on Jet fans Matt oi here with the New York Jets official 53 man roster reaction and Analysis finally all right so these things were due at 4:00 and well I am recording this at 5:30 it took an almost an hour and a half for the New York Jets to come out and release the full 53 man roster I have some things that I want to go through and talk with you about I will pull up who they ended up waving but let's get into it so the New York Jets are able to keep the big story all three udfa defensive lineman Eric Watts Leonard Taylor and Braden McGregor all make the 53-man roster all three really bald out in the preseason Watts four pressures in a sack Taylor four sacks and seven pressures McGregor eight pressures and three sacks so I was really happy that all those guys were able to make it as well as Tech McKinley McKinley was not someone who I really feared getting cut just because he was was he was so good like the the Jets there was no way the Jets could justify losing him he had three sacks seven pressures um so the Jets were able to carry all four of those guys that I just listed off and you know for the three udfas it's very very rare I want to emphasize this for a roster that's supposed to be you know competing for a championship it's so rare to to see three undrafted free agents make a team usually if you get one or two who you're lucky and sometimes you don't get any but three guys at the same position too on the defensive line uh all make the team you also would get a surprise trade I want to talk about that as well before pulling up some of the news uh for the New York Jets uh roster announcement that they put out the Jets traded Brandon codrington to the Buffalo Bills for a late round pick swap in 2026 he was unfortunately not going to be able to make the Jets roster as there's it's a numbers game you got to get it down to 53 and there's only so many guys that you could end up keeping so um the Jets instead of just letting him leave for nothing they trade him to Buffalo and they improve their draft stock so for me I am happy that they were able to get something but at the same time part of me is like do you really want to help out a division rival but if my choices are either trade Brandon codrington in division or let him walk for nothing I'll take the draft pick every single time all right so here we go let's pull it up let's start with the injured reserve and NFI list so leaky Fu Jordan Travis and Kenny yaboa on that one so leaky Fu brought in in free agency interior defensive lineman he'll miss the first four weeks of the Year same with Kenny aboa is going to miss the first four weeks of the year on this one um that's something that they they mentioned up a little bit uh higher um Miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season we we'll see them when they're able to return Jordan Travis has been placed on the reserve nonf football injury list not really all that concerned if and when uh we see him this year I scrolled it back up but just something else of note so the Jets do end up carrying seven wide receivers both Jason brownley and Irv Charles make it along with the five that we were anticipating as locks I aananda who was uh On The Fringe makes the roster at running back good news for him as he bowled out in the pre season he had a very strong performance uh unfortunately not everyone was able to make it though as we move this thing down here's a look at the waved SL relased list Sam iguan doesn't make it um that's a name that sticks out Anthony ferer at tight end was kind of curious if he would stick um at at tight end after we found out about Kenny ioa but that's not the case the Jets elect not to do that uh Chris Glazer Jake Hansen Tyler harell Bruce Hector on the defensive line Jaylen Holmes on the dline Jaylen key the Mr Irrelevant pick Zack koun who was a fan favorite but unfortunately just didn't really develop all that much uh Jarius Monroe Brady leam a udfa Cole Laval who is uh another guy that was highly regarded by the Jets they're going to try to practice squad him I believe um another tight end here in seik uh we might see someone get called from the practice squad one of the tight ends because again with the injuries right now the Jets have Tyler Conlin and Jeremy Rucker so um they they might have to do something on uh game days there tanzel smart uh unfortunately has had a tough time the last couple years making this roster but has stayed around on the practice squad Brandon Smith had a strong preseason as well um but that's pretty much it and not not a ton of surprises here for the New York Jets once again seven wide receivers was a little bit surprising um ianda staying was was nice as well as the three udfas but with the yaboa and fotu news the Jets are able to get a little bit creative jerck Bernard Converse by the way another thing of note before we get out of here jerck Bernard Converse uh did make the roster did not end up on IR so that's a positive sign for his injury all right that's going to do it for me in this video thank you so much for tuning in drop your takes Below in the comments I'm ad ly I'll catch you next time
