Jets trade for nose tackle Phillips from Vikings, place Weaver on season-ending IR, cut Mathis
The Jets placed defensive lineman Rashad Weaver on season-ending injured reserve and released defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis on Thursday.
Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings traded away Harrison Phillips in a move that freed up over $7 million in salary cap space for the current season. This immediately got people thinking that it could lead to another move as a follow-up, as trading away a defensive leader doesn't make much sense otherwise.
