New York Jets are willing to do whatever it takes to prove they made the right trade for Aaron Rodgers. How can they do that? Win the Super Bowl.
During the off-season, the Jets have done a lot to bolster their offensive line around Rodgers. Now a new weapon has been added who is in the running for a roster spot.
The New York Jets Sign Former San Francisco 49ers Wide Receiver
According to NFL Insider Tanner Phifer:
The #Jets have signed former Renegades WR Isaiah Winstead, per source. He had a good workout and was signed after. Congratulations friend!
Winstead didn’t hear his name called in the 2023 NFL draft. He wasn’t even invited to rookie minicamp.
On April 30, 2023, the young pass catcher shared his frustrations on social media:
6’4 210 moving like this. No mini camp invite or UDFA deal. Behind the scenes on what I can do. With 88 catches & 1100 yds this past season… God makes no mistakes tho thank you in advanced.
Per Journalist Paul Esden:
A week after the clip was posted, Winstead signed a deal with the San Francisco 49ers to join the 90-man roster.
Winstead spent the entire summer with the 49ers but was released at final roster cut time. After clearing waivers, the talented pass catcher rejoined the team on its 16-man practice squad.
Winstead was dumped from the 49ers on December, 7. A month later he joined the United Football League as a member of the Arlington Renegades.
The UFL is a result of the merger between the USFL and the XFL. Another highlight on Winstead’s resume is that he scored the first touchdown in the history of the United Football League.
Winstead appeared in seven games in the UFL. He registered 12 receptions for 175 receiving yards, scoring two touchdowns. He also averaged 14.6 yards per reception which was the second-best mark on the team.
