Projected Jets Week 1 depth chart after roster cuts

With the preseason coming to an end, NFL rosters around the league were finalized during Labor Day Weekend as the final round of cuts were made. 

Start with as many as 90 roster hopefuls, pro teams can only take 53 players with them into the regular season. 

For the New York Jets, their roster is on the verge of completion ahead of their season-opener on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. While Week 1 provides a familiar opponent, there is a legitimate hope amongst a tortured fan base that contention is just around the corner. 

Gang Green’s quarterback of the future in Sam Darnold continues to develop toward what many are hoping will be a Pro-Bowl level. Jets management, which changed hands during the offseason, nabbed star running back Le’Veon Bell on the free-agent market to give Darnold his best weapon yet. 

With a defense that is expected to be a menace under Gregg Williams, things are certainly looking up for the Jets. 

Here is what we think the roster will look like come Sunday:
