Carter is a solid pro who has had himself a good preseason with the Jets, while second-year player Taiwan Jones was the best player on the Jets defense last night. \u00a0Jones would be a candidate to be poached by another club if Gang Green wanted to carry him on their practice squad as they did last season, but \u00a0a team with a need for some depth at ILB might want to give the Jets a call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RG Brian Winters-\u00a0<\/strong>Owner of 28 career starts, Winters enters the final season of his rookie deal as a solid but unspectacular player. \u00a0With fellow guard Craig Watts quietly enjoying a solid camp, Winters could be expendable for a team in need of an experienced interior lineman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OLB Trevor Reilly-\u00a0<\/strong>Reilly had the Jets&#8217; lone sack against the Eagles, but has garnered very little playing time this pre-season and was truly under-utilized in 2015 as well. \u00a0A special teams standout who sits firmly on the bubble with other, younger linebackers making a strong push, Reilly wouldn&#8217;t likely fetch any more than a conditional 7th round choice.<\/p>\n<p>When all is said and done, we may not see any deals at all, but there&#8217;s no denying that for the first time in years, the Jets could be looking at the possibility of parting ways with legitimate NFL-level talent thanks to a roster that&#8217;s been well-built for the most part by GM Mike Maccagnan who will be a busy man over the next 24 hours while the Jets get their roster down from 75 to 53.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Glenn Naughton &nbsp; According to Kimberly Martin of Newsday, Jets head coach Todd Bowles says the Jets are involved in &#8220;a lot&#8221; of trade talks as the deadline for final roster cut-downs to 53 approaches.
