Cutting an NFL roster from 80 players to 53 is never easy, especially when you have the talent (and homegrown talent, at that) as the Jets do. That held especially true when the Jets had to make decisions at the safety position, decisions that really stressed Jets general manager Joe Douglas.
“Honestly, felt like we had six 53-man worthy safeties,” Douglas told reporters this week. “So, that was probably one of the more excruciating cutdowns to go from the numbers we had to four.”
