Saxton signed with the Jets as a rookie free agent out of South Alabama after this year's draft. He played in all four preseason games, was waived Sept. 5 and was signed to the Jets' practice squad the next day.
With TE Jeff Cumberland sidelined two weeks ago, Saxton was signed to the active roster to play against the Dolphins in London. He was in for 12 offensive plays in the Jets' 27-14 victory that took them into their bye week. On Monday he was waived when DE Sheldon Richardson was activated.
