Overview

• The team announced it released linebacker Jamin Davis and waived quarterback Adrian Martinez, tight end Zack Kuntz, defensive end Michael Fletcher, tackle Liam Fornadel, defensive back Tanner McCalister and running back Lawrance Toafili on August 24.
• Davis, the No. 19 pick in 2021 who joined New York last December, was characterized as a surprise cut by multiple reporters.
• Martinez’s waiver reshapes the depth chart behind Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, with rookie Brady Cook remaining on the roster for now.

• The moves thin competitions across several positions, with Kuntz, Fletcher and others now subject to waivers and possible practice-squad consideration.
