Here are the Jets' four transactions made on Monday, grouped by positions:

What's Next
All 32 NFL teams have to trim their rosters to 53 players by 4 p.m. Tuesday, 8/29. Teams will subsequently have the opportunity to submit waiver claims the following day. The Jets did not claim any players at this time last year, but GM Joe Douglas has a good track record of claiming players who have become contributors to the team such as WR-KR Braxton Berrios (2019) and LB Quincy Williams (2021).
