6 players who benefited most from the Jets’ roster moves

The Jets lost a few starters to roster moves, but these players are in line for bigger roles on the team, now.

Berrios is locked in as New York’s return specialist after it cut Trenton Cannon and did not re-sign Ty Montgomery this offseason.

Berrios returned all 21 punts for the Jets this past season, but only four kickoff returns behind the trio of Vyncint Smith, Montgomery and Cannon. Now that only Smith is back, chances are he and Berrios will be the Jets’ primary return men.

Douglas claimed Berrios off waivers in his first offseason as general manager, so it’s not a surprise to see him prioritize Berrios over Cannon. Berrios also offers depth at wide receiver, while Cannon would have been buried on the running back depth chart behind Le’Veon Bell, Frank Fore and rookie La’Mical Perine.
