Roster News: Jets release Sanders, waive Levao

The Jets have announced the corresponding moves to the two claims made earlier today.

We've been awarded K Blake Grupe and LB Trevin Wallace off waivers



We've released K Jason Sanders and waived OL Kohl Levao

Much is being made of Aaron Glenn saying that Sanders is still on the team and will compete with Blake Grupe but this is still possibly the case, assuming Sanders is signed to the practice squad, which can happen immediately because he doesn't need to clear waivers. Levao could also be back on the practice squad but he does need to clear.
