New Jets general manager Joe Douglas came into this weekend “fired up” about being able to add talent and improve the roster. Douglas was aggressive on the waiver wire Sunday and shook up some key spots on special teams.
The Jets will have a new kicker and punt returner for the Week 1 game against the Bills. Taylor Bertolet and Greg Dortch are out, replaced by Kaare Vedvik and Braxton Berriors.
Douglas claimed four players after saying he was excited about the Jets holding the No. 3 spot in the waiver claim order. He also picked up defensive back Bennett Jackson and defensive end John Franklin-Myers.
