One of the biggest question marks for this team remain what will happen with Haason Reddick.  If Reddick reports, the Jets will likely lose one of the defensive linemen to make room for him.  I could see it being Watts, McKinley or Leonard Taylor III.

On the offensive side I could see the Jets keeping a 10th offensive linemen considering what happened last year.  Isreal Abanikanda was a tough cut, but I think the rookie running backs have supplanted him on the depth chart.  The Jets will look to keep Anthony Firkser as hybrid tight end/full back.  It's also possible they look to use Jeremy Ruckertt in that role.

The last player I had making the roster was Brandon Codrington.  After what he showed as a returner against the Carolina Panthers, it may be too enticing for Saleh not to use him in that position.  Xavier Gipson is likely still the teams top return man or perhaps even the rookie Isaiah Davis.
