Jets’ 53-man roster prediction 3.0: C.J. Mosley’s opt-out, other moves shake things up

Jets Wire takes its latest crack at projecting New York’s 53-man 2020 roster following C.J. Mosley’s opt-out and multiple other cuts.

Tight End (3)

StarterChris Herndon

BackupsRyan Griffin, Trevon Wesco

Cuts: Daniel Brown, Ross Travis

Ryan Griffin is on the Active/PUP list to begin training camp as he continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery, which is big news for Chris Herndon.

Griffin’s placement on the PUP list was expected, but it opens a door for Herndon to seize the starting job in training camp nonetheless. As long as he stays healthy and flashes an ounce of the talent he displayed as a rookie, Herndon has a very good chance of opening 2020 atop New York’s tight end depth chart.
