Jets Waive TE Clive Walford

Adam Schefter reports that the Jets have waived TE Clive Walford on Saturday as their cut their roster down to 53 players.

The Jets were reportedly shopping Walford around the league, but it looks like now trade surfaced in the end.

The Raiders elected to place Walford on waivers back in April and he was later claimed off of waivers by the Jets.

In 2017, Walford appeared in 13 games for the Raiders and recorded nine receptions for 80 yards receiving and no touchdown.
