Jets Reset: Roster Reaches 75 with Official & Reported Signings

More Changes to Come During Signing Period and On Through NFL Draft

E_SZ4_0692-mosley-thumb

After a little more than a week of the NFL's unrestricted free agency signing period, the Jets' roster has undergone a number of changes, some subtle, some obvious.

And O stands not just for Obvious but for O-line, which has already undergone a major facelift and may be in store for more in the upcoming month leading all the way to the late-April draft Las Vegas.

General manager Joe Douglas and the Jets front office have reportedly signed four new players, all of them mature, experienced NFLers, in tackle George Fant and interior linemen Connor McGovern, Greg Van Roten and Josh Andrews. The Jets have also shed several names from last year's roster in losing Brandon Shell (to Seattle), Brent Qvale (to Houston) and Tom Compton (to San Francisco). Meanwhile, T Kelvin Beachum and C Ryan Kalil remain unsigned UFAs.

Cornerback is undergoing a similar reworking as two starters from the previous two seasons, Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts, have been released while Maurice Canady has signed with Dallas. On the other hand, Douglas and his staff have retained the services of nickel Brian Poole and handyman Arthur Maulet and signed Pierre Desir after his release by Indianapolis.

Wide receiver also had a major exchange of speed merchants as Robby Anderson decided to sign with Carolina and former Tampa Bay blazer Beshad Perriman was reported to have come aboard as a UFA.

Work appears to remain at tackle, corner and WR, as well as in the quest for the elusive multiyear edge rusher, in signing a veteran backup for QB Sam Darnold, in filling in behind RB Le'Veon Bell, and in signing/drafting a new punter if Lachlan Edwards isn't re-signed. Positions that appear well-stocked are the interior OL, DL and LB except for edge, and safety.

But everything on the Green & White roster and in fact in the NFL is subject to change, at this time of year and at any time.

Here is a reset of the Jets' active roster, currently at 75 players, which includes all players who have re-signed and those who were reported to have signed with the team during the UFA period:
