The Jets signed Thomas Morstead to be their new punter back in March. Schefter reports the Jets tried trading Mann, but unsurprisingly, there were no takers for him, so the Jets will simply move on from him, especially after guaranteeing $1.1 million to Morstead.
Mann was a 6th-round pick for the Jets in 2020, but struggled for the most part. At best, he was average to below average. He ranked 17th in yards per punt in 2022 at 46.9 yards.
