As the New York Jets ended their preseason with a 1-3 record, expect a plethora of preseason roster cuts as they trim down to their final 53. Stay up to date in this live tracker.
New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles has a lot of decisions to make between now and roster cut time. This year, NFL teams have until 4:00 p.m. Saturday, Sep. 1, 2018, to announce their final 53-man rosters.
Between now and then, expect to see a plethora of player cuts as the Jets do their very best to field a competitive roster to bounce back from two straight losing seasons. As cuts happen, please be very careful of any bogus news from unverified sources on the internet.
The Jet Press will only post updates from official, verified, and legitimate sources on Twitter so please don’t worry about anything fake being updated below. Please refresh this page often to get the latest preseason roster cuts.

The Jets are cutting K Taylor Bertolet, accordnig to his agent @OSMG_LLC. So Jason Myers has won the kicking competition … at least for now.

One other transaction from the #Jets: WR/KR Lucky Whitehead was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 31, 2018
Jets are really at 68 (not 71) on roster, because of three suspensions. So 15 cuts coming Saturday. Maybe the NFL will get around to suspending Dylan Donahue for two DWI guilty pleas at some point. Then it'll be 14 cuts needed.

Trimming roster to 71, not 89. Was at 89. Counted the roster online multiple times this week and 88 players were on it, not 89. Anyway, Jets say they're down to 71. https://t.co/eOcgf6TsCB
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2018
The six guys not previously known/announced: John Wolford, George Atkinson, Alex Balducci, Dakoda Shepley, Kacy Rodgers II, Xavier Coleman. No surprises in those six. https://t.co/eOcgf6TsCB

LB David Bass cut. That bodes well for Frankie Luvu (at least for now).
It sounds as though TE Neal Sterling and S J.J. Wilcox will be safe. #Jets

The Jets have cut DL Mych Thomas, according to a source.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) August 31, 2018
Surprised by how many people are surprised about the David Bass cut. Yes, he performed reasonably well last year (3.5 sacks). But he barely worked with the second-string defense in training camp. Luvu and Copeland passed him weeks ago.
