Sure, going from a presumptive playoff team to one that most believe will be historically bad might seem horrible for Will Tye on the surface. But it sure beats not having a spot in the NFL at all.
ESPN’s Field Yates was among the first to report that the New York Jets had been awarded Tye, who was waived by the New York Giants Saturday night, on waivers.
Tye isn’t going to come in and turn the Jets’ offense into a dynamic attack. But he immediately jumps to the top of the team’s depth chart at tight end, surpassing Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Eric Tomlinson and Jordan Leggett.
