Roster News: Jets sign TE Brandon Barnes, release WR Marquess Wilson

by Site Admin

The Jets announced another roster move ahead of their penultimate camp practice:

Barnes is an undrafted rookie out of Alabama State who was released by the Lions just before preseason. He wasn't particularly productive in college, but has enticing size and athleticism as a long-term prospect. This might have something to do with Jason Vander Laan's shoulder injury at practice yesterday.

Wilson was one of the few receivers the Jets had with decent NFL production in the past but hadn't made inroads into the Jets' rotation due to having missed some time in camp.

We'll have an in-depth scouting report on Barnes tomorrow.
