1) Isaako Aaitui, NT from the Dolphins & UNLV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaako_Aaitui Chris J. Nelson @phinsspotlight @nyjetscap Aaitui is a nice claim by you guys. He had a good preseason and is a prototypical 3-4 nose. #Dolphins #Jets Taking Dixon's place. We're loaded on inside only guys now with Pouha, DeVito, Ellis, Harrison and Aaitui. 2) Clyde Gates, WR, Dolphins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Gates Brian Costello @BrianCoz From what I'm hearing, Gates will remind Jets fans of David Clowney #nyj Wow, this would be interesting... also to see whose place he woud take. Most similar guy would have to be Schilens, most expendables probably Landolt and Bellore. But DB Allen gets cut. 3) Konrad Reuland, TE, 49ers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Reuland Eric Branch @Eric_Branch Former #49ers TE Konrad Reuland has been claimed off waivers by the Jets, per source. Brian Costello @BrianCoz Reuland went to Mission Viejo HS with Sanchez as @dphudson52 pointed out #nyj Our new blocking TE? Definitely taking Epps place on the roster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ganaway -> claimed by Rams Tevaseu -> claimed by Colts
Kind of surprised that this happened. Not trying to knock Isakko and I know nothing about his game. Just thought Jets were content with the depth they had on DL & also was happy with Damon Harrison as bottom of the depth chart there. When will all the pickups through waivers throughout the league be announced? I'm curious to see where Cooley & some of the FB wind up.
Cooley was a FA and a veteran so he doesn't go through the waiver process (I think, 80% sure). I think the claims have to be in by 4 PM but not sure as some will be reported earlier.
For every one they claim there is one they will have to cut..I wonder whose place this guy is taking.
Undrafted out of UNLV, Aaitui had a strong preseason, registering four tackles and a sack. He'll provide depth behind Sione Pouha and Kenrick Ellis after Gang Green cut Martin Tevaseu.
Gates is fast (4.3) but had hamstring issues during camp. Sounds like a perfect fit for our hamstring challenged WR corp.
Jets claim Wide Receiver Clyde Gates Nice addition, hes a speedster and could provide some depth to this team who has limited deep threats.
We will pick up everyone else's garbage. Can't we ever just keep what we have and develop it? The grass is always greener in somebody else's yard for Mr T.
5'11" 4.37 speed. Whoppy de doo. Like our last receiver will ever catch a ball anyway. What is the purpose in this. Holmes, Hill, Kerley, Turner plus the TE and RBs get some balls first. Like a kid in the candy store making claims. We will claim more players than anyone else. Who are the good teams claiming. Can't we learn how successful teams do business?
Keep in mind the Jets have the 16th waiver selection. Good players like Ware and Moore were probably long gone by 16.
