Veteran outside linebacker Jason Babin didn’t see his release coming.
Babin, 35, was among the Jets’ cuts on Saturday as the team whittled down its roster to 53 players, according to a source. On Thursday after Gang Green’s preseason win over the Eagles, Babin said he was not concerned about cut day.
“If they don’t want me, I’m sure there’s 31 others that do if it comes down to that,” Babin told the News Thursday. “I’ll be fishing.”
It’s possible this may not be the end of the line for the outside linebacker. Babin was useful last season as a situational pass rusher.
