Happy cut week! The NFL’s roster deadline is August 31st, and the New York Jets will have to cut 37 players by then. Every year a few surprise names come up among the cuts and often find themselves being scooped on the waiver wire.
Every year, each team has a few cuts that surprise many. Last season, arguably the biggest surprise cut was Tre McBride, who had a very strong preseason and training camp. Some preseason standouts still find themselves packing their bags, and some underperforming veterans wind up hitting the exits as well.
The final preseason game for the green and white is Thursday, August 29 vs the Philadelphia Eagles.
