Sunday NFL Transactions: AFC East
Listed below are the Sunday roster moves for the four AFC East teams. Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline yesterday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters, claiming players off waivers or signing guys who clear waivers. Those transactions for the Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots are noted below.
Additionally, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads today. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.

Jets Sign 16 Undrafted Free Agents
The Jets had a relatively small 2019 draft class with only six selections, but they’ve supplemented those prospects by adding 16 undrafted free agents:
- Justin Alexandre, DL (Incarnate Word)
- Jeff Allison, LB (Fresno State)
- John Battle, S (LSU)
- Kyron Brown, CB (Akron)
- Greg Dortch, WR (Wake Forest)
- Fred Jones, DL (Florida State)
- Tyler Jones, G (North Carolina State)
- Toa Lobendahn, OL (USC)
- Wyatt Miller, OL (Central Florida)
- Jalin Moore, RB (Appalachian State)
- Jamey Mosley, LB (Alabama)
- Kyle Phillips, DL (Tennessee)
- Santos Ramirez, S (Arkansas)
- Trevon Sanders, DL (Troy)
- Jeff Smith, WR (Boston College)
- MyQuon Stout, DL (Appalachian State)
Gil Brandt of NFL.com named Tyler Jones as the fourth-best undrafted free agent interior lineman available, and the Jets don’t exactly have the league’s strongest guard/center situation. If he’s able to play center, Jones could be factor in New York, where only Jonotthan Harrison and Jon Toth are ahead of the NC State product on the depth chart. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com lauded Jones’ pass-blocking acumen and noted his abilities in a zone scheme, which should play well in Adam Gase‘s new system.
