NGT: Jets cut WR Jalen Saunders - 2014 4th round

The Jets removed fourth-round pick Jalen Saunders from the punt return job after he muffed a punt in the team’s Week Three loss to the Bears and then left him inactive for Sunday’s loss to the Lions.

Now they’ve dropped him from the roster altogether. The Jets announced Monday that they have waived Saunders and signed former Bills third-round pick T.J. Graham to take his place on the depth chart at wide receiver.


I know he was demoted from the roster for the Lions game but I find this insane. I thought he was good value in the draft. Not the most talented receiver to come out of the 2014 draft but seem like he had some potential. They drafted 3 WRs and none of them are on the roster. No way he was just cut for a muffed punt. SMH.

At OU. Dude is fast and has pretty good hands. Would love to pick him up. I think he is gonna be a player.
What a joke

Cut your 4th round pick by Sept lol
Fall guy

in a close game.
If the Giants applied same 'logic' we'd have had a continuous roster turnover on O the last 10+ years.
Somebody

will pick him up, at least for a PS place. He's subject to waivers with less than four accrued seasons. The Jets are dysfunctional.
Who does that

Cut Talley and pick this guy up
I think the NY sports media has been handling Idzik with kid gloves

This guy has made some highly questionable moves in his short time with the Jets. Not trading some of those picks and then cutting some of them right away ranks right up there. Not using cap space and trying to low ball free agents. So you are not going to use cap money and you aren't exactly rebuilding the roster through the draft. What are you doing? Very odd indeed.
it's crazy to pick him in the 4th and then cut him so soon, but  
Del Shofner : 9/29/2014 9:24 pm : link
reading his draft profile, it seems like he might have been a reach in the 4th.

Plausible explanation for Idzik  
SLIM : 9/29/2014 9:49 pm : link
He doesn't want Rex and isn't putting his best effort to field a team this year.

Rex gets fired. Idzik hires his own guy and has salary cap money to spend.

will be all over this
Most 4th rd draft picks suck

What difference does it make now or next year.
Tough for him

I liked his college tape but man, that kid is smaller than small. I can't think of any NFL players his size. He moves well, sure...but nothing that can make up for his lack of size/strength. I'm sure he gets a look soon from someone though.
LOLIdzik..

Doesn't seem like a great prospect to me

and The Giants clearly want big guys. They have a lot of smaller slot type dudes.
