Nick Truesdell’s time with the Jets did not last long.
New York released the tight end just two days after signing him to make room for Alex Lewis on Tuesday.
Joe Douglas swooped in and traded a conditional seventh-round pick in 2020 to acquire Lewis’ services from Baltimore. Gang Green could use the additional depth up-front, so adding a 10-game starter in 2018 was a no-brainer.
As with all trades, Lewis’ addition in New York was contingent on him passing a physical. The Jets announced on Tuesday that the deal was official.
As for Truesdell, he played his college ball at Cincinnati before brief stops with the Indoor Football League and, more recently, the Arena Football League. He’s caught the eye of both the Colts and Vikings in the past but has yet to find a home in the NFL.
