5 thoughts on Jets’ initial 53-man roster

The Jets have trimmed their roster to 53 players. Now the real work begins. The team will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 11 for its regular-season opener.

How is this roster currently looking? Are there any surprises to the moves made?

San Fran to New York. It’s clear head coach Robert Saleh wants to replicate the dominant defensive line he coached when he was with the 49ers. Because the Jets have kept eleven defensive linemen.

Yes — eleven.

We knew Carl Lawson would make the roster, and the same went for John Franklin-Myers, Quinnen Williams, and rookie defensive ends Jermaine Johnson and Micheal Clemons.
