At the end of the 2019 preseason, the New England Patriots didn’t have room on their roster for Braxton Berrios.
The second-year slot receiver had been hounded by injuries, and the Patriots couldn’t justify keeping him over Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski, both of whom had popped as undrafted rookies.
So, New England cut Berrios, hoping to slip him onto their practice squad once he cleared waivers. But that never happened. The New York Jets claimed the 2018 sixth-round draft pick, and he proceeded to play the next four seasons in East Rutherford, N.J.
Now, Berrios’ time in New York is coming to an end.
