The Jets have cleared the way for Braden Mann to be their punter in 2020.
The team announced Wednesday that it has waived punter Ian Berryman after officially signing Joe Flacco to a one-year deal.
Berryman went undrafted out of Western Carolina in 2019 before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He kicked in all four of the Steelers’ preseason games, totaling nine punts for 412 yards. Berryman averaged almost 46 yards per punt during the preseason.
However, that wasn’t good enough to make the Steelers roster. Berryman was cut right before the start of the regular season. The Jets signed him to a reserve/future contract following the conclusion of the 2019 regular season.
This move all but indicates that Mann will be the punter for the Jets next season.
