The Jets made a flurry of moves on Friday afternoon, announcing the release of 6 players, the signing of 12 undrafted rookies and the signing of three draft picks.
So first of all lets get to the players that were released to make way for the incoming class:
Kyron Brown - CB
Josh Doctson - WR
We ve signed 12 undrafted free agents.
Then following the signing of the 12 UDFA’s the Jets announced that Jamien Sherwood, Jason Pinnock, Brandon Echols and Jonthan Marshall had all signed their rookie contracts.
Needless to say that with rookie minicamp this weekend, Joe Douglas and the Jets are wasting no time in sculpting the roster.
