The Jets have a surplus of talent at middle linebacker, but they are not going to carry more than four inside linebackers once the regular season begins. That places James Burgess in danger of being cut at some point.

Burgess is not the most likely candidate to be cut before the beginning of training camp, but it is possible that happens considering New York’s entire defensive coaching staff returns in 2020 and already has an evaluation of him.

Remember, the Jets did not bring Burgess back until late in the second wave of free agency. New York would probably like to see some more of him in training camp, but it would not come as too much of a surprise if he is shown the door in the coming days.
