Ten people on the OL? Is that typical? Seems like a lot resources devoted to one unit

So no chance Petty goes to the practice squad? Not a chance, he would never make it through waivers. Wow, I thought his preseason was ok, but I didn't think any other team would have their sights on him, but I guess I was wrong. Interesting.

Yeah, I'm not sure why people think we're letting him go. We'd have to eat close to $4 million and why the hell would we want to get rid of him right now anyway? Decker and Marshall were banged up last year, Smith has missed all of TC and the pre-season, Owusu has had injury problems throughout his entire career and we just watched Enunwa have to leave the field like 3 times tonight. No damn way we get rid of Kerley Spot on.....besides Marshall, Decker, and Kerley we have nothing but question marks. Evans can't get any separation and is a likely cut and Enunwa is nothing more than a bulked up crappy WR. So who are your surprise roster guys? Like Hollywood said, I'm not even sure I could list a single cut that would be surprising. I said about 2 months ago that it wouldn't surprise me if Antonio Allen didn't make the cut, but now that he's on IR, I'm not sure I can think of anyone else. Maybe McDougle, I guess.

We went from having no depth at WR, to making hard some decisions. Guys were catching tough balls all preseason.

If Flynn makes the cut, doesn't that guarantee his salary for the year? If yes, then I say he gets cut. Besides I don't want to lose a Dozier, or Shaq for a 3 week QB. That's dumb. Interesting, apparently Flynn's salary would not be guaranteed, even if he is on the 53 tomorrow. Clearly gives him an edge over Johnson. Edit: Forgot to post the following link. www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/08/what_kind_of_contract_did_matt_flynn_get_from_jets.html"And if Flynn were to be released after Week 1, he would be ineligible for termination pay, since he already collected it after the Raiders cut him two years ago. Players are only eligible to receive termination pay one time."

I think Flynn and Johnson both get cut and they resign Flynn after the season opener. Having Petty as the back-up is risky but it allows the team to cut him when Geno comes back without having to pay him for the rest of the season.

What am I missing?

What am I missing? Sorry, meant to paste in the following from Dom Cosentinio @ NJ.com. Apparently a player can only collect termination pay once in his career. Since Flynn already collected once when he was cut by the Raiders, he is no longer eligible to collect termination pay for a second time. Click on the link to the full article for details: www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/08/what_kind_of_contract_did_matt_flynn_get_from_jets.html" If he were to get cut at any point during the season, his $870,000 in base pay would be pro-rated based on the number of weeks he's on the roster. And if Flynn were to be released after Week 1, he would be ineligible for termination pay, since he already collected it after the Raiders cut him two years ago. Players are only eligible to receive termination pay one time."

I have never heard of that rule and always assumed a vested vet would have his base salary guaranteed after being on the roster during week 1. Thanks for the insight.

Another thing to keep in mind. If we put Ridley on PUP, he needs to be on the 53 today and we can place him on PUP and replace him tomorrow, but he would count against the 53.
