The Jets have felt good about their roster depth all summer, and apparently the rest of the NFL agrees.
There were a whopping seven players waived by the Jets on Tuesday who were claimed by other teams on Wednesday. It was the most players claimed in the NFL. The Bills were second with four players picked up.
The Jets did not claim any players.
This was another indication of the depth of the roster that general manager Joe Douglas has built. The Jets have rarely had any players claimed after cutdown day in recent years.
The players claimed on Wednesday were: CB Javelin Guidry (Cardinals), OT Chuma Edoga (Falcons), LB Del’Shawn Phillips (Ravens), TE Trevon Wesco (Bears), S Jason Pinnock (Giants), CB Isaiah Dunn (Seahawks) and CB Rachad Wildgoose (Commanders).
The question now becomes whether the Jets kept the right players. Right now, it is seen as a positive that the Jets have so many players being claimed by other teams. If any of these players become good players for their new teams, the decision to let them go by the Jets will look foolish.
