Plenty of Surprise Cuts for Jets as Pinnock and Parks Sent Packing

By Glenn Naughton Posted On August 30, 2022

Every year we see a surprise cut or two at this time of year but there have been several for the Jets over the past 36 hours.

After letting go of DB Javelin Guidry and RB La’Mical Perine, it was the safeties today.

Despite an excellent pre-season, veteran safety Will Parks was waived along with second-year man Jason Pinnock who finished up last season on a high note.

Definitely a surprise here. Saleh raves about Pinnock.
