    Fowler is reporting that the Jets have cut Uzomah. Move adds about 5M to our cap space this offseason.

    No big surprise here but it certainly seems like the Jets will try to be as active as possible in FA to fill their offensive needs.

    Also means Ruckert should get some more PT next season, which I'm all for.

    Thank God.

    He was terrible. Seemed like a cool person, but didn't do much at all in the passing game, and had so many holding calls it's almost not even believable.

    Well, there goes another one of Douglas' brilliant FA signings.

    Wish him well, though. Seems like a decent guy.

    I wonder if he really held as much as we think. It seriously feels like every single game he had at least 1 call.

    Ok I looked it up.

    Becton was tied for 2nd in penalties.
    Yikes.

    It says Uzomah only has 2 holding calls. That can't be right.

    CJ played high school Varsity basketball with my youngest brother, so I've been a fan of his since he was 15. Following his career at Auburn, he didn't put up big time numbers, so I was surprised when he broke out with the Bengals the way that he did.

    What shouldn't surprise me, in typical Jet fashion, CJ became the latest in a long time of aging, overpaid, free agents who underperformed and underwhelmed us fans :(

    Hey man don't you worry, we can always resign Ashtyn Davis.

    There is a God, and he loves me. More than any other two players, I wanted Tomlinson and Uzomah cut from the 2024 team. Terrible signings by Douglas and even more insane was RESTRUCTURING Uzomah after 2022.
    That restructure is what is costing us cap space NOW. Joe Douglas missed salary cap 101 class wherein GMs are urged not to restructure TE3 who cannot hold onto the ball but certainly can hold onto the opponent.
    Go back and watch Ozomah's holding penalty against the Raiders which costs us a TD-- He literally had Crosby in a HEADLOCK when he was flagged for holding.

    CK was AWFUL as a Jet. This was expected a long time ago. Zero surprise here. What’s scary is he was paid more than Conklin, so it shows how bad they F’d this was one up

    Ashtyn is turning a corner. He's just taking a bad angle so it's not developing that fast.

    I think this could be a breakout year for Ruckert - if Rodgers stays healthy..

    Sadly, it fits right in with most of Douglas' FA signings.
