Cut down day has come and gone in the NFL, and teams have completed their 53 man rosters as Opening Day sits just 12 days away. But who's counting?
For the Jets, they will roll with only Zach Wilson behind Aaron Rodgers to open the season. They released third stringer Tim Boyle. Of course that does not mean they won't try to sign him to the 16-man practice squad, so stay tuned there.
Gang Green will carry four running backs: Dalvin Cook, Breece Hall, Michael Carter, and Isreal Abinakanda. Bam Knight was released.
At wide receiver, the Jets will hold onto Jason Brownlee, Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles to join the veterans Allen Lazard, Garret Wilson, Randal Cobb, and Mecole Hardman. Tight end is also set with C.J. Uzomah, Tyler Conklin, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah. Rookie Zach Kuntz did not make the team.

Meanwhile up I-80 toward East Rutherford, the Giants filled out their 53 man roster. They too will carry only two quarterbacks: Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Despite an impressive preseason Tommy DeVito did not make the team as a third quarterback.
The G-Men will feature four backs in total, with Matt Breida the first back behind starter Saquon Barkley.
The Giants are loaded at defensive back with 11 DB's on the squad.
Meanwhile it will be interesting to see who stands out at wide receiver this year. We know Isiah Hodgins is the number 1 reciever, and Darren Waller at tight end will essentially be the deep threat down the middle. But who will stand out and step up among the group of Jalin Hyatt, Sterling Shepherd (who needs to stay healthy), Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell?
