I wonder what other WR's are going to the block? Any takers on Brad Smith? Wright will be on the team because of his ST play and I think Allison will make it as well as he can return and has some blazing speed.
Smith is as good, if not better, than Wright on ST's. He also has more value as a WR than him. I see Allison as the odd man out between those three, especially with news of Woodhead staying on board. He can return too.
You're right...but it was there late this morning, I read it. Another example of why it's nice to cut and paste the article itself as well as providing the link.
Re: Smith (and others too)...I wonder if Tanny is working with Mangini to send him players he may want rather than chancing it to waivers and trying to get something in return, even if it's only "future considerations"
UPDATE (3:46PM): LB Kenwin Cummings has also been cut That's a surprise I guess this means we are keeping Izzo
Petro just reported that Cumming is cut, but didn't give a source. I liked him...surprised and disappointed.
Could it be because they want to keep Renkart? I remember Ryan talked well about him in the preseason but I have no idea how he played lately. PS is Cummings eligible for PS?
Different roles. Smith has a lot of value as a lead blocker on returns, Wright has exceeded what Smith brings to kick and punt coverage. I'd assume we keep Smith well before Wright, though. I really don't see much value to keeping Allison either, so I'm with you on that one.
Yeah I get that. If Greene got hurt, I still wouldnt want to activate Woodhead. Remember basically all last season we played with 3 active RB's and it worked out fine.
Smith was excellent in coverage two years ago, but Wright seems to have taken the edge in that regard. Still, I don't think it's enough of a difference to necessarily merit keeping them both. I'd be perfectly fine with keeping Smith primarily for ST and occasional WR help and cutting Wright.
http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl The New York Jets have announced they have waived CB Rashad Barksdale, FB Brock Christopher, SS Emanuel Cook, PK Parker Douglass, RB Anthony Kimble, DL Matt Kroul, OT Nevin McCaskill, OT Ryan McKee, C Michael Parenton, DE Zach Potter and DL Ty Steinkuhler.
Full cut list.

www.jetsdaily.com I will update this as the news come in. So far here's the cut list. FB Jehuu Caulcrick TE Kevin Brock TE Kareem Brown TE Jack Simmons WR Britt Davis WR Marcus Henry LB Kenwyn Cummings T Stanley Daniels There was a link on Cannizarro's blog earlier that included RB Anthony Kimble and G Ryan McKee, but it's gone missing. Neither of those two players are expected to make the roster anyway. One guy who WILL make the roster is RB Danny Woodhead. I don't know how long Woodhead will stay on the roster because he has three backs firmly ahead of him. Unless one of them gets injured, and to this point, Jones and Washington have been durable, Woodhead likely won't get off the inactive list. Something tells me he'll get released down the line to make room for someone who can play more, unless they plan on bringing him onto the team next year when Thomas Jones is presumably gone. I'll update this more when I have more information. 3 QB: Sanchez, Clemens, Ainge 5 HB: Jones, Washington, Green, Woodhead, Kimble 2 FB: Richardson, Christopher 6 WR: Cotchery, Stuckey, Clowney, Smith, Wright, Allison 3 TE: Keller, Hartsock, Dearth 12 OL: Ferguson, Faneca, Mangold, Moore, Woody, Slauson, Turner, Hunter, Parenton, McKee, Kracalik, McCaskill 7 DE: Douglas, Ellis, DeVito, Potter, Pitoitua, Steinkuhler, Kroul 3 DT: Jenkins, Green, Pouha 10 LB: Pace, Harris, Scott, Thomas, Gholston, Westerman, Murrell, Izzo, Renkart, Trusnik 8 CB: Revis, Sheppard, Lowery, Strickland, Coleman, Carroll, Barksdale, Cole 5 S: Rhodes, Leonhard, Smith, Ihebdigo, Cook 2 K: Feely, Douglass 1 P: Hodges That's 67 players. For week one, the Jets can have 55 players, for week 2 it has to be down to 54 when Shaun Ellis comes back to the roster, and then it has to be down to 53 when Calvin Pace returns from his suspension. Here are my predictions for the remaining cuts (also known as the guys in italics): T Nevin McCaskill T Michael Kracalik G Ryan McKee C Michael Parenton K Parker Douglass DL Matt Kroul DL Ty Steinkuhler LB Jason Trusnik CB Rashad Barksdale CB Marquice Cole S Emanuel Cook FB Brock Christopher RB Anthony Kimble Keep in mind that's 13 players. I think the Jets are going to keep an open roster spot for some interesting players that may get cut elsewhere. I'd be shocked if they go into week one with Keller, Hartsock, and Dearth as the only tight ends on the roster. They could use linemen to play tight end, but still, one more guy would be very helpful. Carroll and Coleman also will need to watch out. 10 defensive backs is a lot for this team to carry, especially given the versatility that both safeties provide. It would be a surprise to see both those two and Strickland all last the season.
So Renkart made the team... how about that? Two Rutgers LB's made the roster.... good eye by the Jets to scout the local talent.
He made the team and I'll root for him . But what's the over/under on the number of actual touches he gets this season. I'll pray for 0 which means our starters are staying healthy.
