Brian Winters
Like Avery Williamson, Brian Winters finds himself more likely than not to be cut by the Jets at some point this offseason.
Winters does not figure to fit into New York’s plans on the offensive line after Joe Douglas spent all offseason revamping the unit. Alex Lewis signed a new contract with the team, while Greg Van Roten agreed to terms on a three-year deal in free agency. The additions of Josh Andrews and Cameron Clark also bolster Gang Green’s interior offensive line depth and make Winters expendable.
There is no sense in prolonging the inevitable here. The Jets need to get down to the roster limit and Winters is no longer a vital piece for the offense. That makes him a prime candidate to be cut before the beginning of training camp.
