Currently short on linebackers, the New York Jets have parted ways with tight end Steve Maneri and replaced him with 6′ 3”, 260 lb outside linebacker Bryan Johnson.

A West Texas A&M product, Johnson is viewed as a strong side linebacker who tallied 16.5 tackles for loss and 8 sacks in 28 career collegiate games (10 starts).

The Bellport, NY native spent last season on the Bills’ practice squad.
