The Jets let go of 27 players today, reducing their roster to the 53-man limit. The team made the following moves:
Released
- DL Ronald Blair
- TE Dan Brown
- TE Ryan Griffin
- QB Josh Johnson
- S Sharrod Neasman
Waived
- RB Josh Adams
- LB Aaron Adeoye
- WR Lawrence Cager

The Jets added Johnson earlier this month. While the 35-year-old hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since 2018, there was some optimism that he could compete for a spot as Zach Wilson‘s backup. That ultimately wasn’t the case, and with James Morgan also getting waived, the team will roll with Mike White as the second QB.

The Browns did not deem former Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis as worthy of their 53-man roster. They released the fifth-year veteran on Friday, along with a host of other moves.
Janis was in the mix for one of Cleveland’s backup jobs but couldn’t impress enough to beat out some younger competitors. Known best for his heroics in a Packers-Cardinals divisional-round game, Janis will avoid outright waivers due to his vested-veteran status. The other players the Browns are parting with Friday will head to waivers.
Here’s the full list:
- TE Stephen Baggett
- DB Christian Boutte
- DB Elijah Campbell
- OL Anthony Fabiano
- DL Jeremy Faulk
- OL Avery Gennesy
- OL Fred Lauina
- QB Brogan Roback
- DB Derron Smith
- DL Blaine Woodson
The Browns also waived three players with injury designations.
- WR C.J. Board
- LB Justin Currie
- DL Lenny Jones
