Jets Waive Davis Webb

Davis Webb just can’t get any love in the New York/New Jersey area. The Jets have waived the quarterback, as Manish Mehta of the Daily News tweets.

The Jets inked former Broncos starter Trevor Siemian to a one-year, $2MM this offseason, which spelled the beginning of the end for Webb. The Giants’ 2017 third-round pick joined Gang Green off waivers last year, but he has yet to take his first NFL snap. Siemian, meanwhile, has started 24 pro games, and has performed well at times.

Cutting Webb will have no real financial ramifications for the Jets. Dropping Siemian, meanwhile, would have resulted in $1MM in dead money. In any case, the Jets preferred Siemian as Sam Darnold‘s backup, and their QB room is now set for 2019.
