Roster News: Jets sign Jones, release Calitro
The Jets made a roster move today, releasing one of their undrafted free agent signings and replacing him with one of the players who attended rookie camp on a tryout basis.
On his way out is Villanova linebacker Austin Calitro, with Shorter University linebacker Jevaris Jones replacing him. Jones presumably outshone Calitro at camp to earn a deal. Here's our analysis on him:
Jones is 6'1" 228 and posted good stats last season at small-school Shorter University. Jones had 106 tackles, 6.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. He apparently has good speed, strength and explosiveness.
The move was announced by the official Jets twitter account.
