Adam Gase: New York Jets trying to play young guys, not tank

“Nobody has talked about that,” Gase said Wednesday. “We’re just trying to play young guys. We’re trying to get guys experience.” The Jets (0-9), the front-runners for the No. 1 overall pick, dumped another veteran on Tuesday, releasing cornerback Pierre Desir. In recent weeks, they’ve parted ways with a handful of veterans, including four starters […]

Rebuilding New York Jets continue roster shake-up, release veteran cornerback Pierre Desir

The move, not unexpected, opens a starting position for rookie Bryce Hall, who replaced Desir in the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots. The Jets (0-9) had a bye last weekend.
