The Jets have announced that they waived RB Marcus Mason. Mason never saw time on the field, and was a pickup I gushed over when they made it after Jesse Chatman’s season ended.

Although no one has been announced as a replacement yet, they likely will be soon. The Jets do need defensive help in the secondary … it’s been abysmal back there and Kerry Rhodes admitted yesterday on WFAN that guys are missing their assignments. Still, I don’t like this roster move very much … there wasn’t someone else who the team could shelve?

Mason had a tremendous preseason, and could be a real cheap find for the Jets long-term with a solid offensive line in front of him. I would be very surprised to see that Mason makes it through waivers.
