Jets waive Erie's Jovon Johnson

August 28, 2006, 12:09 pm

The New York Jets have waived Erie native Jovon Johnson, an undrafted free agent who was trying to make the NFL team's roster out of training camp.

The Jets have 75 players on the roster, the NFL maximum by Aug. 30.

Johnson was one of 12 players waived.

“We did it earlier because I thought those guys did a great job for us." Jets coach Eric Mangini told newyorkjets.com. "They really tried and gave great effort. I appreciate the effort that they gave and I wish them well. I wanted to let them go earlier because I wanted to give them the best opportunity to catch on somewhere else."

It was the second time Johnson, a Mercyhurst Prep graduate and former Iowa star, has been waived by the Jets this summer.
