Jets Release 18 Players Ahead of Deadline

The Jets have waived 15 players, waived/injured LB Trevor Reilly, and released two veterans, WR/PR Jeremy Ross and RB Antone Smith.

DE Sheldon Richardson will begin his one-game NFL suspension at 4 p.m. today and the Jets will have three more transactions by then to get down to the NFL's mandatory 53-player roster limit.

Among the 16 waived players were a pair of Jets seventh-round draft picks, FB Tommy Bohanon and Reilly and three other players — TEs Zach Sudfeld and Wes Saxton and WR Kenbrell Thompkins — who played for the Jets in the past two regular seasons.
