Jets sign LB Alec Ogletree, WR Jaleel Scott to practice squad

The Jets signed Alec Ogletree and Jaleel Scott to their practice squad.

The New York Jets have a full 16-man practice squad after their latest roster moves.

The Jets announced that they have signed LB Alec Ogletree and WR Jaleel Scott to the practice squad. They also placed WR Donte Moncrief on practice squad injured reserve. The Jets still have one roster spot left on their 53-man active roster.

Ogletree has some familiarity with Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. The two spent three seasons together with the Rams with Williams as the defensive coordinator and Ogletree as a starting linebacker. After spending five seasons with the Rams, Ogletree was traded to the Giants, where he stayed for two years. A former first-round pick, Ogletree is a player the Jets could plug in as a starting linebacker in case of injuries down the road.

As for Scott, he was drafted in the fourth round out of New Mexico State by the Ravens in 2018. Scott missed all of the 2018 season due to injury. He returned in 2019 only to make one catch for six yards in three games. The Ravens cut Scott on Saturday.

Report: Ravens cut WR Jaleel Scott

The Baltimore Ravens have cut wide receiver Jaleel Scott, marking the 2018 NFL Draft a bust at the position for the team.

The Baltimore Ravens have all but finalized their wide receiver corps for the 2020 NFL season. According to Aaron Kasinitz of Penn Live, the Ravens have cut wide receiver Jaleel Scott.

Scott was one of two wide receivers Baltimore selected in the 2018 NFL Draft, joining fifth-round pick Jordan Lasley. The Ravens parted ways with Lasley early last year at training camp after he failed to develop. Baltimore hoped the 6-foot-5 Scott would take a leap forward this year and they could find a way to keep him on the team. However, a hot-and-cold training camp that saw Scott improve his play on special teams but often fall short of making big receptions. With just one reception for six yards over two seasons in the NFL, anything less than a perfect training camp was likely going to end his tenure in Baltimore.

The 2018 NFL Draft was the first where the Ravens spent two picks at the position. The 2019 NFL Draft saw Baltimore select Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin, who are both in line for massive starting roles this year. The Ravens added Devin Duvernay and James Proche in the 2020 NFL Draft and saw both play well throughout training camp.

With five wide receiver spots already sorted and Chris Moore expected to return soon from a broken finger, there simply wasn’t any room for Scott to make the Ravens’ 53-man roster.

11 Ravens that could be most impacted by 2020 NFL Draft

The Baltimore Ravens are set to add nine more players to their roster at the 2020 NFL Draft, which will help and hurt other players

The Baltimore Ravens as you know them right now is set to change next week at the 2020 NFL Draft. With nine picks in the draft, Baltimore’s roster is going to undergo quite the makeover and that’s before we even get to the second wave of free agency when the Ravens typically add those bargain veterans to round out the 90-man roster.

With 58 players already on the roster, nine draft picks will end up shaking up the starting lineup and potentially push others further down the depth chart. With that in mind, I took a look at which Ravens are most likely to be severely impacted by the 2020 NFL Draft. should help him and the team immensely.

CB Tavon Young

It’s no wonder Baltimore handed Young a contract extension last offseason. When healthy, Young is one of the best slot corners in the league. However, that has been the big caveat for the Ravens recently, with Young missing all of 2019 and 2017 with injuries.

Though Young is expected to return this season, Baltimore would be wise to plan for his absence. At the worst, the Ravens would add much-needed depth inside at cornerback and at the best, they’d have a more obvious replacement for Young if he misses time this season.

Anyone selected at that role in the 2020 NFL Draft, especially early on, will be looked at as Young’s eventual replacement. Young is in no danger of losing his roster spot this season with more dead money than cap savings if cut, but that stops being the case as early as next offseason. If the Ravens find Young’s replacement, the $3 million in cap savings in 2021 and $5.845 million in 2022, according to Over The Cap, start looking really attractive.
