Buzz: Even more players worked out for the Jets
Nobody has signed yet, but we can add a few more names to the ever-growing list of players the Jets have kicked the tires on ahead of Monday night's season opener:
Among the guys who the Jets worked out today were: K Roberto Aguayo, TE Jerrell Adams (ex-Giant), edge rushers Nate Orchard, Charles Tapper, Ryan Delaire, per source. #nyj

Adams, the 25-year old former Giants tight end and Delaire, a former Carolina edge defender who is also 25, are the new names here. Adams was a sixth round pick in 2016 and has 24 catches in his pro career. Delaire had 3.5 sacks in 15 games in a reserve role with the Panthers in 2015 and 2016 but hasn't played in the NFL since then.
Some more names here:
The #Jets worked out a few defenders today: Former #Saints DE Hau'oli Kikaha and former #Bucs DB Josh Robinson had workouts, I’m told.

The former New Orleans Saint Kikaha is another edge rusher we've been expecting the Jets to target and Robinson is a 27-year old third round pick who hasn't started a game since 2014 but has been a core special teamer. Robinson might be viewed as a potential upgrade at the gunner position.
Finally, one last name:
Former Broncos LB Zaire Anderson is scheduled Thursday for a workout with the New York Jets, per source. Anderson worked out for the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in the week.

Anderson has started three games over the past two seasons after having gone undrafted in 2015. He's another good special teams contributor and would play inside linebacker in the Jets' defensive system.
We'll let you know when the Jets finally pull the trigger on a personnel move.
