Reports: Trevor Reilly, Freddie Bishop, Antone Smith let go

By Glenn Naughton

Continuing to trim their roster to 53, the Jets are rumored to have cut linebackers Trevor Reilly, Freddie Bishop and running back Antone Smith along with the previously mentioned Tarow Barney and Claude Pelon.

The Jets are cutting LB Freddie Bishop, according to a source.

That’s three moves thus far— Pelon, A. Smith and Barney #Jets https://t.co/90pKEbeWNv

Deciding not to carry both Reilly and Bishop comes as somewhat of a surprise given the Jets lack of depth at outside linebacker.
