The last pick of the 2024 NFL draft was a casualty of the roster crunch.
According to Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the New York Jets waived safety Jaylen Key on Tuesday. Key is now subject to being claimed on waivers by any other NFL team.
Jaylen Key wasn’t at practice today because the #Jets waived him, per source.
Other teams will have the ability to claim Mr. Irrelevant on waivers.

Key did not have an amazing preseason, but he was not bad either.
