The composition of the Jets’ 53-man roster just got a whole lot different now that Jamal Adams is no longer with the organization.

New York sent Adams and a 2022 fourth-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for two first-round draft picks, a 2021 third-round pick and safety Bradley McDougald on Saturday. Adams’ departure had been in the works for a while, but there was still a chance he started the 2020 season with the Jets. Now, he will play his football on the West Coast while New York welcomes a new safety into the mix.

The Adams trade shakes up the dynamic of the Jets’ secondary and has Jets Wire’s latest roster prediction looking a bit different than the one that came out following the draft. With that being said, let’s get into Jets Wire’s latest crack at projecting New York’s 53-man roster with training camp getting started.

Predictions 1.0 – Post-NFL Draft |

Quarterback (3)

Starter: Sam Darnold

Backups: David Fales, James Morgan

Cut: Mike White

With Joe Flacco on the shelf for the start of 2020, the Jets are likely to carry three quarterbacks to begin the regular season.

Fales is likely to serve as New York’s No. 2 quarterback, as the plan is to allow Morgan to watch and learn from the sideline as a rookie. Unless he surpasses all expectations in training camp, expect Morgan to remain Gang Green’s third-string quarterback for the duration of the season. Once Flacco is healthy, Fales will be the likely odd man out.
