The New York Jets are releasing offensive tackle Carter Warren.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter was first on the news on Tuesday, August 26. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler labeled Warren as “quality offensive tackle depth” and expressed that he had some interest in the trade market.
However, those supposed trade talks didn’t amount to anything, and now Warren finds himself a free agent looking for a new home.
Warren, 26, entered the league as the No. 120 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Pittsburgh.

“Not a surprise. The 2023 fourth-round pick couldn’t win the swing tackle role,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini explained.
The Jets brought in some new bodies to the offensive line room this offseason. Players like Josh Myers and Chukwuma Okorafor were brought in as depth pieces and competition for the starting center and right tackle jobs, respectively.
When that ink was dry, they took two roster spots that otherwise could have gone to players like Warren.

The Jets are waiving CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse,” NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero shared on social media.
Bernard-Converse, 25, was the No. 204 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft.
I DO NOT get the Jarrick Bernard-Converse release. Should be the team’s primary dime CB. Feels like another Jason Pinnock situation. Not a fan at all,” The Jet Press posted on social media.

“This is a surprise…,” The Jet Nation account reacted.
Assume he’ll get claimed but if not the Jets absolutely should bring back on the PS,” NFL analyst Will Parkinson explained.
Parkinson was told that JBC will have the opportunity to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers and is interested in returning.
Explaining the Roster Rules and NFL Deadlines for Jets
It’s a wild, wild west out there in the NFL streets on Tuesday, August 26.
There are 32 teams that have 90 players on each of those rosters. By 4 pm on August 26, every team must be compliant with a 53-man roster.
A week ago, there were 2,880 plus players in the NFL. By the 4 pm deadline on Tuesday, there will be 1,696 players.
That means 1,184 players are about to become available to the rest of the NFL. Some of those players will end up on practice squads, some of those players will be claimed off waivers, and others will see their NFL dreams come to a crashing halt.
