Jets, Wizards Waive Jaylin Simpson, Jaylen Martin in 2024 Roster Moves

The New York Jets waived Jaylin Simpson from injured reserve after reaching a settlement, with Simpson yet to make his regular-season debut and now aiming to recover and join another team. Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards waived Jaylen Martin from his two-way contract after he appeared in 16 NBA games last season, averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists, with most of his playing time coming late in the season when key players were rested. Martin spent much of the 2024-25 season in the G League, where he averaged 13.5 to 14.0 points, along with rebounds and assists, across multiple teams. The Wizards' decision to waive Martin frees up a two-way slot and allows him to seek opportunities elsewhere, potentially signing another two-way or Exhibit 10 deal before the next training camp. Both players are now looking to catch on with new teams and continue their professional careers after being released.
