New York Jets release quarterback Brady Cook from 53-man roster

The New York Jets released second-year quarterback Brady Cook on Sunday as the franchise trimmed its active roster to the initial 53-man limit. Cook, who started four games during his 2025 rookie season, is now subject to the league waiver system. His departure leaves Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik as the only quarterbacks currently on the Jets roster. The team maintains the No. 2 waiver wire priority, allowing them to potentially add players such as Will Levis, who was recently cut by the Tennessee Titans. NFL teams have until Monday to adjust their rosters following the initial round of cuts. While the current 53-man group is set, further personnel changes are expected as the league's waiver wire processes.
