The Leftovers - Regular Season 2017 (Pt. 1)

During preseason we looked across the other rosters around the league at how some of the players who've been on the Jets roster over the past couple of seasons were faring.

With the regular season about to get underway, it's time to update you on which player made their respective teams.

We'll start with the highest profile players and work our way down the list:

Ryan Fitzpatrick - QB - Tampa Bay

Fitzpatrick had a poor preseason with a quarterback rating of just 40.9 including two interceptions and completion percentage of just 52.5%. He'll be the number two behind Jameis Winston - with no third quarterback on the roster.

Brandon Marshall - WR - New York Giants

Marshall didn't have much of a preseason either, with just one two-yard catch and only 28 snaps played. He's recovered from his shoulder injury and will be a key player for the Giants as the season gets underway.

Eric Decker - WR - Tennessee

Decker had an even less productive preseason than Marshall with no catches on 11 snaps. He's not listed as a starter on the Titans official depth chart.

David Harris - LB - New England

Harris led the Patriots in tackles in one of their preseason games but only played two snaps in their season opener against the Chiefs, even though Dont'a Hightower went down with a knee injury.

Breno Giacomini - OT - Houston

Giacomini had a poor preseason but is apparently going to start the opener for Houston with Chris Clark having been injured and Duane Brown holding out.

Calvin Pryor - S - Cleveland

As you've probably heard, Pryor was released after an alleged fight with a teammate. He was claimed by the Jaguars. Before getting released, Pryor was only the number four safety anyway.

Marcus Gilchrist - S - Houston

Gilchrist is also backing up, although he may get plenty of reps if Corey Moore struggles. He didn't have much chance to do anything in preseason having been a late arrival in camp coming off his knee injury.

Nick Folk - K - Tampa Bay

Folk secured the kicker role with the Bucs over Roberto Aguayo early on in preseason. It will be interesting to see if he makes his customary lights-out start to the season or if he struggles at the start like last year.

Geno Smith - QB - New York Giants

Smith went 10-of-11 with a touchdown in the final preseason game against New England to secure the number two job with the Giants, but it was a close decision between him and Josh Johnson. Even with that performance, Smith's quarterback rating was still only 75.8.

Jarvis Jenkins - DL - Kansas City

Jenkins had an excellent preseason and made the Chiefs roster but was actually inactive in their first game against New England.

Mike Catapano - OLB - Houston

Catapano lasted just over a week with the Texans and his chances weren't helped by the cancellation of their final preseason game. He was released last week.

Jeremy Ross - WR - Arizona

Ross had a good preseason, catching 11 passes for 77 yards, but was still released during final cuts. If the Jets still aren't happy with their return situation in a few weeks, Ross could be a guy they target.

Dexter McDougle - CB - Philadelphia

McDougle made a few plays against the Jets in the final preseason game, earning himself not just a roster spot but also a one-year contract extension.

Ronald Martin - S - Indianapolis

After getting traded to the Colts, Martin didn't make much of an impression in their last preseason game and was released in final cuts, although they did sign him to their practice squad.

Brandon Wilds - RB - Cleveland

Wilds was waived/injured by the Browns after a shoulder injury limited him to just four snaps in preseason.

Braedon Bowman - TE - New Orleans/LA Chargers

Bowman didn't have a very good final preseason game with just one yard on four targets and some run blocking errors. He failed to make the Saints roster but was signed to the Chargers practice squad.

Donald Hawkins - OL - Kansas City

Hawkins was placed on injured reserve with a concussion following a rough preseason. The last preseason game was slightly better until he got hurt, although he still had one penalty. He'll likely be released from the list as soon as he is healthy again.

Troymaine Pope - RB - Indianapolis

Pope was released by the Colts and has not yet been picked up elsewhere. He gained just 39 yards on 14 touches in the final preseason game.

KD Cannon - WR - Los Angeles Rams

Cannon saw his first offensive snaps of preseason in the final game, but was only on the field for five plays. His only target was incomplete and he was released in final cuts.

Austin Calitro - LB - San Francisco

Calitro wrapped up a nice preseason with five tackles and a pressure in the last game, but still wasn't able to make the 49ers roster. He's now on Seattle's practice squad.

Devin Street - WR - Houston

Street was already waived/injured last week. He was released off injured reserve with a settlement.

Bruce Ellington - WR - Houston

Ellington is a surprise success story, having failed his physical with the Jets but then made an immediate impact in Houston. He enters the season as basically their third receiver. They rested him for the last preseason game.

Jordan Todman - RB/KR - Houston

Todman also made the Texans and he's listed as their fifth running back but number two kick returner. He didn't play in the last preseason game either.

Jace Amaro - TE - Tennessee

Amaro had a 19-yard catch in the Titans' last preseason game but it wasn't enough to earn him a roster spot. He's currently unsigned.

Trevor Reilly - OLB - Miami

Reilly had a nice performance in the final preseason game, with four tackles and a fourth down sack. It looked like he had made the team after final cuts but then he was released the next day when Miami claimed a linebacker. They signed him back to the practice squad though.

Tommy Bohanon - FB - Jacksonville

Bohanon won the starting fullback job for the Jags, despite being flagged on one of his seven snaps in the last preseason game.

Jarvis Harrison - OL - Tampa Bay

Harrison was released in final cuts and is currently a free agent. He had played quite well in his last preseason game, although he did give up a couple of hits.

Wes Saxton - TE - Buffalo

Saxton was released by the Bills and is currently a free agent. He dropped his only target of preseason and gave up a hit in pass protection.

Darryl Morris - CB - Indianapolis

Morris was already placed on injured reserve by the Colts and is still on there.

CJ Spiller - RB - Kansas City

Spiller, who was released off the Jets' roster in December, found a new lease of life in Kansas City, gaining 67 yards on 14 touches in preseason and averaging 26 yards per kick-off return. He was a surprise cut, but they just re-signed him, obviously wanting to avoid having to guarantee his salary because he was on the opening roster.

Jeremy Butler - WR - Buffalo

Butler didn't play in preseason due to a concussion and has been placed on injured reserve.

Raheem Mostert - RB - San Francisco

Mostert is another success story, having made the 49ers roster thanks to some good playmaking in preseason. He was rested for the final game and is expected to contribute in the return game.

Darius Jennings - WR - Tennessee

Jennings caught two short passes for the Titans in their final preseason game, giving him five in total. He was released but signed to the practice squad by Tennessee.

Kyle Friend - OL - Pittsburgh

Friend had another solid performance as a back-up center in the last preseason game. He didn't make the Steelers roster but was signed to their practice squad.

Jesse Davis - OL - Miami

Despite starting three of the four preseason games, Davis - who had struggled - was released and not signed to the practice squad.

Lawrence Okoye - DL - Miami

Okoye had a nice last preseason game with a sack and two hits in limited action, but didn't make the Dolphins roster and is all out of practice squad eligibility so his career may be over.

Mike Liedtke - OL - Tampa Bay

Liedtke had a holding penalty in the final preseason game but otherwise played well. He didn't make the Bucs roster but was signed to the practice squad.

Bernard Pierce - RB - Denver

Pierce was already released a few weeks ago, having not played in preseason.

Shelby Harris - DL - Denver

Harris powered his way onto the Broncos roster with a sensational performance that saw him grade out as the best player in the NFL during preseason, according to Pro Football Focus. He had another three pressures and a run stuff in the final preseason game.

Jerome Cunningham - TE - Tennessee

Cunningham hadn't been targeted in the first three preseason games but he caught 25 and 14 yard passes in the final game. It wasn't enough to earn him a roster spot but he was signed to the practice squad.

Sean Hickey - OL - Miami

Hickey had a solid performance with the second unit in the final preseason game. He didn't make the roster, but was signed to the practice squad.

Titus Davis - WR - Chicago

Davis saw plenty of action in the last preseason game but didn't record a catch and also had a missed block and a penalty. He did not make the roster and is now a free agent.

Dane Evans - QB - Philadelphia

Evans threw a touchdown pass against the Jets, albeit on a blown coverage. He ended preseason with a 47.0 quarterback rating - better than Fitzpatrick's. Evans didn't make the roster and is currently unsigned.

Barrett Gouger - OL - Los Angeles Chargers

Gouger saw action off the bench in the final Chargers preseason game but didn't make much of an impact. He was released in final cuts and is currently unsigned.

Keevan Lucas - WR - Philadelphia

Lucas did not get a chance to play prior to his release and is currently unsigned.

Darius Victor - RB - New Orleans

Finally, Victor wrapped up his preseason with 39 yards on 10 touches and a short kick-off return. He did not make their roster and is unsigned.

We'll update you again during the bye week.
