Jets Cut 26 Players, Get To Roster Limit

August 31st, 2021 at 9:21pm CST by Ben Levine

The Jets let go of 27 players today, reducing their roster to the 53-man limit. The team made the following moves:

Released

DL Ronald Blair
TE Dan Brown
TE Ryan Griffin
QB Josh Johnson
S Sharrod Neasman

Waived

RB Josh Adams
LB Aaron Adeoye
WR Lawrence Cager
S Elijah Campbell
LB Noah Dawkins
LB Milo Eifler
S J.T. Hassell
OL Grant Hermanns
DB Lamar Jackson
C Corey Levin
WR D.J. Montgomery
OL David Moore
QB James Morgan
OL Jimmy Murray
LB Del’Shawn Phillips
DL Hamilcar Rashed
DL Tanzel Smart
WR Vyncint Smith
DL Jeremiah Valoaga
OL Isaiah Williams
TE Kenny Yeboah

Placed on Reserve/PUP list

DL Kyle Phillips

The Jets added Johnson earlier this month. While the 35-year-old hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since 2018, there was some optimism that he could compete for a spot as Zach Wilson‘s backup. That ultimately wasn’t the case, and with James Morgan also getting waived, the team will roll with Mike White as the second QB.
