The team will also offer twelve players a tryout.
The Jets have announced the signing of 15 undrafted free agents.
Most of these signings were reported in the media in the hours and days following the NFL Draft, but this is official confirmation from the team. Occasionally reporters will miss a signing, or something changes before a contract becomes official.
Few of these players will make the roster. Generally speaking, the Jets keep one or two UDFAs in a typical year. Last year, three made the initial 53 man roster, and that was considered an unusually robust number.
Of course, sometimes a UDFA turns out to be a gem. Through the years, the Jets have found contributors like Snacks Harrison, Robby Anderson, Bryce Huff, and Tony Adams in the likes of undrafted free agents.
The Jets also announced tryout players for their rookie minicamp.
These players face pretty long odds. They need to stand out in a short timeframe to even earn a contract. The Jets don’t have excess space to spare on their roster. They needed to make cuts to make room for the players they drafted. So anybody who earns a contract from this group has really done something to stand out.
The most notable name might be Giovanni Williams not because of his profile as a prospect but because he is the brother of Quinnen and Quincy Williams.
