New York Jets waive 4 players FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets have waived linebacker Craig Kobel, safety Nate Ness, quarterback Chris Pizzotti and wide receiver Huey Whittaker. Kobel played in the Arena Football League last year. Ness was an undrafted free agent who had 107 tackles and seven interceptions in two seasons as a starter at Arizona. Pizzotti was an undrafted free agent who was a two-time All-Ivy League quarterback at Harvard. Whittaker spent parts of the last three seasons in the AFL.
You know I wouldn't be surprised to see Pizzoti back on the practise squad, we just want some flexibility for when teams start cutting players, we want to be able to move in on them quickly.
I did not know that Ness was a Jet, he was one of my favorite UDFA targets and I know he originally signed with the Browns. I'm not totally shocked to see that we waived him since we have good starters and good depth at safety already, but Ness is a player that could make an impact in the league as a FS. I really hope he sticks somewhere, he has potential and is a versatile safety that cover and deliver a hit.
I honestly don't expect him to make the final roster, we already know what coleman is, and he is toast. I would prefer us keep a younger guy with potential say Marquice Cole...
Pitouitua will make the 53 man roster as Jenkins backup. i think thats an obvious projection. anyone else loving how this guy looks when he takes the field?
How could they cut Pizzotti after that game?. He had a perfect hand-off completion percentage! If that is not potential then I do not know what is.
I guess Pizzotti will now just have to make his millions per year on Wall St instead of in a Jets uniform.
