Cimini: Jets Add Punter and Tight End

According to Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News

, the New York Jets have add been awarded two recently waived players:

• Punter, A.J. Trapasso
• Tight End, Matthew Mulligan

The Jets have been awarded two players on waivers from the Titans — P A.J. Trapasso and TE Matthew Mulligan, according to sources.

Trapasso is best known for hitting the new $40 million scoreboard in Dallas, creating a firestorm. His arrival means incumbent Reggie Hodges is a toast. No surprise there. Rex Ryan made it clear yesterday that they were looking for a punter.

Mulligan, a second-year player, is regarded as more of a blocking tight end than a receiver. He will back up Dustin Keller and Ben Hartsock.

These moves, plus the Kevin O’Connell trade, means the Jets must drop three players.
