Jets Waive Six Players in Initial 2025 Roster Cuts

The New York Jets have begun trimming their roster in preparation for the 2025 NFL season, announcing the release of six players including cornerback Mario Goodrich, offensive tackle Samuel Jackson, tight end Neal Johnson, wide receivers Dymere Miller and Ontaria 'Pokey' Wilson, and defensive tackle Fatorma Mullbah. These moves reflect the Jets' strategic effort to finalize their 53-man roster by the NFL's August 26 deadline, while also building a practice squad. The cuts follow a preseason where the team, under new head coach Aaron Glenn and quarterback Justin Fields, evaluated talent to improve from their 2024 performance. Several released players have prior professional experience, with some, like Miller and Wilson, showing promise but ultimately not securing a spot. The Jets' management continues to face challenging decisions as they aim to balance potential and performance in finalizing the team roster. This early trimming provides clarity for both the team and the players as the regular season approaches.
